what are everyone's thought on the m word?
and i think i should leave him to sort out his head before i get in touch with him...

There is no reason whatsoever why a man should be afraid of making a long-term commitment to marriage after two years with someone, unless he's in his early twenties and has little to no prior relationship experience. A man in his mid-20s and older shouldn't be scared to the point of running for the hills if his long-term girlfriend brings up the topic of marriage, and if he's not interested in getting married he shouldn't get himself involved in a long-term relationship to begin with.
