My girlfriend wants to get married but I don’t. What should I do? (Page 2)

Question

So I’m 22 and my girlfriend is 20 and we’ve been dating for about a year now. Everything seems to be going great for us but then my girlfriend asked if we could get married. She said that she wants to get married to prove our commitment to each other and that I loved her. I then tried explaining to her why the idea of marriage seems pointless to me and that we don’t need a ceremony to prove our commitment when we already do that everyday. I also told her that people divorce and cheat in marriages anyways. However, she is still convinced that we should. I just don’t know what to say to her at this point. I love her very much and I always try to let her know that at times. I just don’t know how to make her see why marriage is just pointless.

Tell her in the USA marriage is raw deal for men. Therefore, if she wants to get married the two of you should emigrate to Iran, India, or some other man friendly country and for her to first select which country she wants to emigrate to.

It sounds to me like she'd be better off finding someone else.

Marriage is more attractive to women because divorce is a potential compensation rather than consequence of it being a mistake.
This isn't really a discussion you can have because there is no way to see it from each others point of view.

Tell her how you feel, and dont do something that you're not comfortable in doing. Marriage is a commitment, so think before proceeding.

Don't waste your time nor hers. Either you both agree to be married which in this case she is right or move on.
