You're not?
It's definitely a european attitude--my sister faced it as well from her, um, friend, um, companion, er lover. Whatever. She wanted marriage, even though she subscribes to the "not much point getting married until kids are in the picture." Him, not so much. Nor his brother, who has two kids out of wedlock (same woman--with whom he sleeps at night). His family is entirely comfortable with it. Dunno if the european rights are sufficiently better in important respects such that marriage really does confer no particular advantage other than religious legitimacy.
