After nearly a year and a half of dating, Teen Mom's Maci Bookout was ready to walk down the aisle with boyfriend Kyle King, but her man clearly had different plans.

The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Bookout's constant pressure to get hitched pushed King, 23, away and that the couple called it quits in early February, days shy of their two-year anniversary.

"Maci wanted something way more serious," explains an insider of Bookout, 20, who had been living together with her childhood pal since the summer of 2010. "She was never happy enough just being a couple. She always wanted more, more, more, whether it was a ring or another baby."

King wasn't able to handle the pressure and "broke it off," says the source. "It's really sad because they love each other, but she pushed him away."

    It is sad that he didn't see that her wanting to get married was a compliment. Just because he was happy getting everything with no real responsibility , he up and walks away. Although pushing marriage should never happen. If she wanted to get married she should have said up front that it is what she wanted and if he didn't want it then she should have walked away. You can't change someone's mind just by bringing it up a bunch of times.

    He left because Society expects him to.

    If he left it's because he wanted to...

    I don't understand why people want Maci to get back with Ryan. He's an infant himself. The last thing that young woman needs is to be raising two babies, one of whom is her domestic partner.

    that's weird....they're still talking to each other on twitter....don't think this is true. if it is, it's sad. her son loved him. and btw...she has THE cutest little boy ever!! lol

    Don't get with anyone! Get your degree, focus on raising sweet Bentley and making a life for the 2 of you THEN the man will come--they always do, the type you deserve. Hate it SO much when women act like they're incomplete if there's not a man around!

    Nothing will turn off a man faster than a woman who is pushing to get married right away or have another baby. Like didn't she learn her lesson the FIRST time. A lot of women think that once they get into a relationship that talking marriage and babies is an okay thing. As a woman to me it shows a lack of maturity, insecurity and desperation when women go right into that. I don't blame him.

    YES now get back with Ryan and make it work girl!!!

    Of course they broke up, they're both kids still.

    All this information you could have found just by watching Teen Mom. Why don't you get the real scoop before you post crap like this? Oh wait then you wouldn't make any money.

    This is the best thing that could happen to her. He's a drip and she has so much potential.

    Well I feel bad for Bentley, Having different men in his life can be confusing. I just hope that she the next guy she dates...whether it be Kyle again or maybe get back with Ryan (or someone new) it can be forever and Bentley can have some stability in his life.

    These teen moms are a mess. Introducing men to their kids, moving them in.

    Believe or not my neighbor's girl-friend makes $86 every hour on the computer. She has been without work for 9 months but last month her paycheck was $8338 just working on the computer for a few hours. Go to this web site and read more... http://ufil.ms/cFlVR

    Um, that's not a surprise. The only surprise is that it took him this long. Very demanding girl.
