If you don't like to read, here's a summary: He's "thinking" about asking her to move in with him after seven years together. The only reason he's even considering that is so he can string her along for a while longer and not "foreclose" on any options. I think that tells you pretty much all you need to know.
I've been with the same woman for around eight years, now. We're not married but we've been living together for about six years. I don't think you need marriage to prove love or commitment, but in your friend's case it sounds like his reasons for avoiding it are purely selfish. What kind of crap is "not fair to himself"? What a load of shit. It's "fair" to string a woman along for years on end with no intention of giving her what she wants? He sounds like the kind of jackass that makes us all look bad.
"Just starting to live" at 31 is immature bullshit. If you wasted the first 30 years of your life, it isn't your partner's fault. You want freedom? Cut her loose. All he's doing is keeping a string on her juuuust in case things don't work out but I've got a million bucks that says he's on the first train out of that relationship. He's just waiting for something better and he doesn't want to be lonely while he waits. She's gonna get burned.
Tell your friend to grow up.
