Been there, been going out w/ my GF for 11 years and we're not married ... Though, to be fair, I did propose a few years back and she said the timing wasn't right or some bullshit ... Of course, after that, things went downhill big time to the point where we were on a break several months later, were rocky for a bit after we got back to living together before things finally smoothed out, and now she's been hassling me regarding marriage for the past few months (not exactly in a rush anymore after being turned down already).

But, aside from that, same scenario. I wanted to be more financially secure and just more sure altogether about how things were going to be before we got married and had kids.
Also, comfort factor definitely played a role. I'm a "don't fix it if it isn't broken" kind of guy. I also hate weddings and funerals.
I wouldn't necessarily say you're wasting your time, some guys are just like that. You should try to talk to him about it if it's concerning you ... Or propose to him (in private).
