The formal dissolution of the domestic partnership is a prudent step to protect your assets and formally reestablish your "single" status.  It will likely require filing the related paperwork at City Hall or other state agency.  Consult a lawyer in the city/state where the partnership was signed – you may both need to "co-sign the divorce," fun, fun -- and then know that you're truly free and clear.

Any pointers for a strong relationship?

Communication, Talk, talk talk - about everything and anything - Even death and funeral arrangements or cancer etc etc.
Don't let sex be top priority or it will erode everything you've built.
Try always to see from each other's perspective, and it's ok if you don't absolutely like the same things - just don't be condescending about it or harbour nastiness - otherwise, you're harbouring destructive traits and you really should live alone (as you will find this in every person you grow with)
In ways of supporting your partner, sometimes, you might have to sacrifice your patience, or some of your time, or time with your friends, to be with this "best friend and lover" , but nothing too drastic -
As long as each partner aims at putting forth 60% to care for each other, then there's overlap for when times are super tough.
As your relationship transcends years as opposed to weeks, you start to acquire history. It can be overwhelming as you might wonder what you might be missing looking at the green grass over yonder. It's nothing, you're not missing much at all. You also will have to start ALL over again from the beginning, only to survive 3 years more with the new guy before you find out you don't like it every time he smells his fingers after he eats chicken 
You should also talk to your partner about monogamy (if that is what you both seek) and revisit this subject every few years. WE men  do tend to get a tad boring, so sometimes a  relationship needs reassurance that the sex hasn't become something that isn't working anymore or is no longer "enough"  - People do change - or … People finally show their true colours.... 
I could go on and on. I will stop for now...

I think it would be rough.  Unless the woman was hyper sexual it would lead to the men constantly fucking each other and then constantly talking about how their wife never wants to have sex and how difficult women are, and then the woman is over there starting to think her husbands are just gay.

Your view on the sexes is really stifling for both. Women aren't emotional jelly and men aren't rutting beasts.

Has your boyfriend expressed a desire to get married?

Yeah! sometimes. He indirectly says that We have to marry someday. Actually, I was skeptical at first, but then I thought he's the one.

Have you thought about proposing to him at the place of your first date? On your anniversary? Creating a special moment like that could help with the proposal.

As may have been explained before:


A YES vote majority will not automatically mean SSM is legal in Australia. It will allow for our government to have a vote in parliament - a "conscience" vote which means you vote as YOU see fit, not your official party line (which is usually how most things go in our parliament)


A NO vote would automatically mean it is a NO and no discussion will be had in our parliament. Although a bill may be put forward, it is unlikely it will be put through or will it be held up/ignored until 2018


The YES vs NO has been a mixed bag of politics - the usual left vs right is obvious but there is a middle overlap which is religious vs non religious, economic conservatives who are left leaning in social stuff vs more socially conservative left leaners etc


The "NO" side of politics have said that even if it is YES they will not vote YES automatically and will judge it after the result


The "NO" side have also said that they want harder restrictions and have started tabling bills to be put forward that would allow people to not provide services (the good old cake stuff etc) based on religious grounds (this is all muddy and mostly involves hard right religious people who do not understand that these laws are already in Law for heterosexuals anyway, they just want it specific to push a point)


As soon as the % comes through then the drama will start - a 49% No vs 51% yes for example is technically a win but then the NO will not take that and if it is a larger majority then reactions will be very different.. most are tipping over 60% YES as a conservative estimate
Some things to note
The vote was NOT compulsory BUT had a very high response rate
"A bigger percentage of us have voted in the survey than the Irish did in their referendum on the same issue; Brits in the Brexit poll and even Americans in the presidential elections."
The "NO" side have pretty much conceded already BUT they feel the % is what is important. Esp since it is a % count scenario unlike other votes such as the US system where a republican system is in place. This vote is purely count what is there.
if 100 vote - 51 say YES then it YES - BUT - in parliament a minister who knows his electorate voted 75% no in a conservative area may vote no to reflect this etc etc
One of the major parties has said that regardless of ant outcome - they will legislate SSM in their first 100 days if they succeed in next election - and considering the mess our current government is in, then they may get in
