EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the advice you've provided below. Some harsh but honest responses, and probably the kind of feedback I need! (I do take issue with the view that marriage is required or implied just by the length of a relationship alone - that is not the case necessarily in my country, but culturally differences are understandable.) Where you're absolutely correct, though, is that we've done a terrible job of communicating within our relationship about this and all sorts of things. I'm going to need to do some thinking over the next few days, but I think the most likely outcome is that we will either get counseling or break up.
