What would you do if you got engaged but you didn't want to get married????

LOve but no marriage - HOw can a person say there in love but doesn't want to become his/her wife after being together for years and years. Is it fare to string the other person along even though you know in your heart its not marriage that you want?

I know this girl who is dating this guy for about 11years now, no kids, they make the happiest couple in the world. When your around them you can just feel the love in the air. I just recently found out that they got engaged. I'm really happy about that because her boyfriend has been wanting to get engaged ever since the first time he laid eyes on her. He always told me he knew she was the one he was going to marry from the start. I got a phone call from him last night, he was so upset, I had to get out of bed and really wake myself up to see what the problem was. He told me that had a huge fight and she wanted to be engaged to him, but didn't want to get married. This i couldn't understand, Why would you want to be engaged, but never get married? She gets on the phone and explains her side of the story, She just plain doesn't believe in marriage. She never wanted to get married, the only reason why she did was because everyone kept telling her to or she just might lose him. What would you have done? I wouldn't have gotten engaged! I told my friend that she was being very selfish for not letting him go along time ago. She says she loves him, but doesn't want to be his wife. I think this is such a messed up situation how about u?
