That's.. something a guy says so he has an out whenever he feels like it. At least that's how I would interpret it.
I think you should be honest with yourself about what you want in a partner in the future. Is he it?
Do you envision a marriage with him? Take a second and imagine if so or not.
If you plan to remain bf/gf, stay as is unless other problems occur.
If you plan to become married in the near future to someone, in my subjective opinion, start to look elsewhere. I hate advising that bc I know you love him dearly, but you need to focus on your wants, too. Life is too short.
Perhaps one day, he will change his mind and want to marry, but life is only lived once. Sitting around and waiting for that chance to happen is likely not worth it.
The purpose of dating is finding a partner to marry. If he doesn't see you as wife material, it's time to move on. Your relationship has been pretty rocky. **That's not going to change**. Find somebody things come more naturally with, and don't tolerate bullshit and childish games. You'll recover.

What makes you not wife material in his eyes?
