Girlfriend won't get married due to homophobic family

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 7 years. I am no contact with my family that will never accept me and have basically disowned me. My girlfriend has a relationship with her family; but they don't accept us and basically just pretend like Iike I don't exist.

My girlfriend is convinced they will come around one day and wants a relationship with them desperately, which I understand and support.

Recently when we talk about getting married her response is she won't get married until her family is supportive of us and will be there. I don't see this ever happening, and after 7 years I'm at the point where I want to seriously start thinking about getting married.

Am I crazy for feeling like this is a reason to consider leaving over this? When I bring it up I get hit with "we're happy now so why mess it up with talking about a hypothetical marriage?" And just "One day it'll happen"
