The big problem is that he's told me he never intends to marry me. I've been married three times, and he's been married four. Our marriages were awful. He says the commitment without a certificate means more than a marriage certificate. I disagree vehemently! If someone loves you enough, they should be willing to marry you. He's not. He's 57, so he will probably not change. I'm 40 and want to marry again. Not just anyone--I want to marry HIM! No one else. But if he can't do that, and it's a deal breaker for me, at what point do I say it's time to go?

If your dead set on a wedding band it would be best to move on , hopefully find someone else ? You both have had a lot of divorces? Have you looked back at yours and see what went wrong? has he done the same ?

Maybe couples therapy could help?

Good luck
