we had this conversation early on in dating and a few times since. She knew my opinion very clearly: I don't want to get married due to the downsides of it.

She expressed how its kind if a big goal for her, and it upsets her that I don't. I made it clear she needs to find another guy if thats her dream unfortunately. But she stays with me and doesn't leave. I don't understand. Its a dream to her and a goal and everything, she knows there is low to no chance, why hasn't she left?
