I know can nor stop thinking about it.Would someone really say that to you in a joking wag? Yes to him probably was joking but if he wasn't I now think with me saying that it will now never happen.

Do you see a future with this man? Talk to him and be honest with him about what you want. I mean you are not a teenager any more. Surely you are able to communicate with him and tell him what it is you are looking for.

You are on and off with each other. Why is that?
Something clearly isn't working between you guys for this to happen. That's not how normal relationships work. People don't break up and get back together when they can be bothered, therefore, you need to THINK long and hard why you're so on and off with each other.
Say he does want to marry you. Do you think you can be on/off there? Things wont get better just because you have a ring on your finger if there are underlying problems in your relationship.
Think about why things are going wrong, confront them, talk to him about them and THEN if your relationship gets stronger and more stable, it may look like marriage could be an option. Until then, I wouldn't stress so much over the comment he made.

If you want to marry some day or have kids, that is something you should feel comfortable to discuss, if it scares him away after this amount of time, I'd say he wasn't the right one.
