True, my husband and I were together five years before marriage but it took that amount of time for his divorce to become final; he was "working" on getting divorced all that time. What were you all doing, if not working toward marriage? It sounds like your ex-girlfriend did not feel very secure in your affections? I'm not saying you did not reassure her, only that she did not feel secure. Did you ever talk about her ultimatums and how they made you feel and what she wanted for the future and what you wanted, etc.?

If you did not love her, you should not have "kept" her for two years? If you do love her, how can you let her go? If you do not know if you love her or not after 2 years?????
I do love her and did not want to end our relationship. I reassured her all the time that I loved her and wanted us to grow together. However, previous ultimatums would give us setbacks in moving forward. I started to believe that she was more in love with being married than loving me. I can almost guarantee that from the start of us dating, had she let us grow together naturally without any of the previous ultimatums, I would be proactive in planning a future with her. The previous ultimatums have lent concern on my part that she would be giving other ultimatums after we got married.
