So my girlfriend and I have been dating for 8 years. We started off as fwb but she said she wanted something serious and eventually I came around.

Fast forward 8 years and things have been great. The sex, the spending time toegather, it all great. She is everything I want in a partner.

A few months ago she starts talking hypothetically about marriage "If I were to have one" etc. I humor her but don't think much of it at the time. I think this may have had something to do with a lot of her girlfriend's getting married recently and she's just getting wedding fever.

Flash foward to this week she asks me to move in with her and propose. I am completely shocked by this, although looking back I should've seen it coming. I told her that I while I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her I like my space and don't see the point in marriage. This upsets her and she begins to cry and ask why I don't think she's food enough. I told her that it's not personal to her and that I hate the idea of society pressuring people into marriage. She however isn't hearing any of it and leaves the house.

Sure enough her friends call me and say when am I going to m*n up and make a proper woman out of her. I don't see how getting married makes someone automatically more mature and grown up.

Everyone's pushing me to do this and just don't see the point I love my girlfriend but I don't want to be forced to do something just because everyone thinks I should. What should I do?

Tl;dr:My (29/M) girlfriend (27/M) of 8 years told she wanted to get married. I don't know what to do.
