Should you break up with your boyfriend of 3 and a half years if you thought you were eventually going to get married but he just told you he doesn't believe in marriage?

I'm in the same situation. It's been 3 years but I knew from the beginning how my boyfriend felt about marriage. What I would suggest is talking to him about it. First find out why he feels that way...and please post b/c I'd like to know. The whole notion doesn't make sense to me. Anyway...ask why, then tell him that since you do believe in marriage and want to be married someday, what does that mean for ya'lls relationship. Mine said he would do it because he knows that its what he has to do to be with me forever. I'm making that enough but only because there are a bunch of other reasons why he's so right for me. I would say that if he WON'T get married, you've got to decide how important marriage is to you.

I completely understand you, but just to try to make you see this from a different perspective:
Is love not as valid if you live together, own your house together, have children together etc. if you are not married?
I can't speak for other countries but in Denmark (Northern Europe) where I live, it's very common to live like that and people seem to be just as happy! I am very happy to be married but on the other hand, I was very happy before we got married as well. The reason we got married (apart from the fact that we love each other and want to spend our lives together) was legal matters.
If this makes no sense to you, you can try this:
If you are going to live with these men who claim they don't believe in marriage, tell them that when buying a house together, having children together etc. the amount you are going to pay lawyers to legally make sure you have the same rights as married people (in case one of you should die, if you break up) will exceed the price of a marriage by far! ;)

You are pregnant with your boyfriend who is illegally here from Mexico can you get married?
The safest way to do this would be for you guys to get married in Mexico then apply for the marriage visa. I believe it's 4-9 months for the paperwork to get processed. That way, he can be in the states legally and you guys can be married. =)

Are you really common law married in Alabama if you lived with your boyfriend for only 5 years?
Alabama recognizes common law marriage, but simply living together for a certain period of time does not automatically make you common law married. To establish a common law marriage in Alabama, you must have the present intent to be married, agree to be married, and hold yourselves out as a married couple. Simply living together for five years is not enough evidence to establish a common law marriage.

What do you say to your boyfriend when he says why do we need to get married?
If you believe in marriage then stick to your belief and tell him that by getting married he is taking vows (as well as you) to love, honor and respect each other until death do you part. If he says it is just a piece of paper and means nothing then tell him by living together you after several months you are considered married and he will have the same responsibilities as if he were married. Also, if you are to have children it would nice that their parents were married with the same last name or it is confusing to children when they start school. If he puts the brakes on then you must decide if your boyfriend is the right one for you and you have the option of break up with him and moving on and eventually you will meet the right person you should be with.
