Why might a man choose not to marry a woman he has been in a relationship with for over 10 years?

There’s many reasons. One reason could be men witnessing what happened to their male friends or family members in divorce. Could also be he doesn’t believe in church. Doesn’t want to get the state involved. Could also be he’s seen a few couples where together for a long time then got married then divorced not long after that. For some reason I believe marriage changes things even if they’ve been together for a Long time. Maybe it’s financial. Not so much that he’s concerned w her divorcing him, then leaving him broke. I don’t think there’s anything wrong w not getting married. I mean if those are his feelings why can’t women respect them just as men are expected to respect women’s feelings? Now if she’s not ok w that then she needs to move on to someone who wants the same. If her life has been pretty good for 10 years, meaning he provides for her, takes care of her, etc. Is it worth throwing all that away for the status of being married? I get it, it could be her religious beliefs. So again she needs to move on.

He doesn't believe in marriage, he was money and assets he wants to protect, at the end of the day, he just like be in a relationship and still loves his freedoms. Maybe his parents divorce and left a bad taste. Maybe he like he knows he can leave anytime he wants.

1 he is against marrying

2 he doesn't want to marry her aka doesn't think she could make good wife n she is only good at being a girlfriend

He’s already getting the benefits of having a wife without the commitment.

Divorces can be long and expensive. I'd definitely want to avoid that.

I had a friend who were together living for 9 years. And on the 10th they married. Then a year later they got divorced. He'll never admit to it but I always felt like they got married to fix thier relationship. Because how could so much go wrong in one year after being together for 9 years?

Divorces are expensive or you just don't bring enough to the table to warrant comingling assets. Don't mean that in a harsh way. I'll rent a sports car, l have no interest in buying one.

He never loved nor trusted her enough or she was very naive into thinking living together is a step towards marriage when it never was.

If there is no trust, there is nothing

Some guys just do not want to get married. Maybe they have been married before.

He probably knows marriage would just make his life a living hell

Marriage is a scam. The divorce courts nearly always side with the wife even if she is clearly the one in the wrong. Any system which allows some people to exercise unbridled power over others is an open invitation to abuse.

Probably because it's in his comfort zone and he isn't the marrying type.

[In_Trance]

Because he doesn't believe in the church or the state

I don't know but sounds foul tho

[KrakenAttackin]

He doesn't trust her.

[DextroShade]

He has too much to lose in a divorce.
