<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I'm in a relationship with a wonderful man. The relationship is everything I want except for the fact that he isn't interested in getting married, and this is something which I want. Shortly after we met and committed to each other, in the rush of the new relationship, we got rings and "married ourselves". There was no legal or even public ceremony, it was just us two privately exchanging rings and verbally committing to each other.

At the time, I expected that ceremony to be the prelude to an actual wedding at some point, but later on when I brought up the topic of marriage he was opposed to it. He did not give a reason.

However, he goes around telling people we are married. I find this hurtful because I actually do want to get married and I don't consider ourselves married.

Can I ask him to stop telling people that we are married?
<bot>: Boyfriend tells people we are married, but we aren't. This hurts me because I really want to get married. Can I ask him to stop telling people we are married?
