Is She Serious or what?

I’ve been dating the same women exclusively since 2000. We have been engaged for one year and a half. In 2000 we both worked in the same profession. Something unfortunate happen to me in 2001 which caused my employment status to change from making over 50k to under 10k. Legal issue with my background. However all of that is changing and my record will be cleared soon. However you know the court system they put stuff off so much until it could be longer that I would care for it to be. She has seen me up and seen me down. She has been there for me for all these years. She also excepted my engagement ring over a year ago. Every time I would ask for a wedding date I could never get one as she had her reasons why it kept changing. One or two times I’m like ok that’s understandable but after six or seven date changes my family and friends were like whats up with the date. So I stopped asking. Eventually, I asked her what was the hold up and she said that she was cool helping me out while I was down but she didn’t want to marry me like that. Now, tell me was that backwards or what. Eight years of being with a person through ups and downs,you take his ring, you travel go out to eat have fun but no hubby.Whats the deal? Why don’t she just walk away? If the tables were turned I would marry her and deal with our unique situation until things got better am I wrong or what?
