    If your fiance has decided that she no longer wants to marry you then she's effectively broken off the engagement herself. Have you asked her what she does want and why she hasn't just ditched you properly? Depending on the result of this discussion you'll probably want to move on. Good luck.

    I'd be questioning if she'd moved on already??
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Ask her what she does want then .... but sounds like you're heading for bye-bye!

    She may just be drifting,hedging her bets-ie staying with you until 'something better' comes along. You are then wasting your time if your ideal is to marry her-perhaps a well timed discussion and ultimatum is needed now so you can decide whether to take control and move on.Whilst she is obviously perfectly happy with the status quo,you aren't and eventually that will lead to arguments anyway.
    Hope you can get is sorted.

    If she doesn't want to get married, then what's the point of being engaged to be married??

    Has she given any reasons why she doesn't want to marry you and move in with you?

    If it's to do with money, ie, she won't get married until you can save enough to have the wedding of her dreams, then that's fair enough, but if she doesn't want to get married full stop and doesn't have a good enough reason, then I'd seriously consider walking away from her.

    That's a pretty questionable statement!

    believe me ive asked, all she says is marrage is just a piece of paper and living together means compromise. i have given up the chance to have a child as i want to be with her as i love her so much and she cannot have children. but no other reasons have been given
