<human>: Has anybody ever staid in a relationship where one partners was not ready to get married yet? If so, did you eventually get married or did you break up?

I told my boyfriend about a job opportunity that would make me move several states away if I applied and got it. I asked him if he would join me if I did and he got freaked out because he wasn't read to be "tied down." He said he was not ready for a marriage and kids...not really where I was going with that question but okay!

I am a little older and would like to get married and have kids at some point, but I don't want to rush anything and I don't even think I am ready for kids right now anyways.

I told him all that and now things are better again, but I just wonder if anybody else has gone though something like that?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Boyfriend said he didn't want to be "tied down" yet, have you ever staid in a relationship where one member was not ready to get married yet?
