Question

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost a year and we always talk about getting married and he's told me that I can find a ring. And even talk about having kids with each other. And we have been living with each other since we were dating for like 3 months. I'm just wondering if we should wait until we have been dating longer or what. I'm so confused...

Answer

Some ppl may think what I'm gonna say sounds crazy, but my husband is 11 yrs older than I. We met in our workplace. weren't interested in each other or looking for anyone, in fact I had a bf (was unhappy & wanted out just hadn't done it yet). We always had good chemistry & talked about anything/everything. 1 day we both got locked out. no one told us we were opening late so we went to breakfast, we became good friends fast & quickly dated. We were inseparable & always texting when we weren't together. Even to this day. We knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives without any doubts. he gave me a promise ring a month in & proposed on my bday 3-4 months in. We've been together 5 years & just got pregnant w baby #3. We couldn't be more in love or more blessed. He's my best friend before anything else. Bottom line is... I think when it's right you just know. If ur hesitant/doubtful it's not time yet. Good luck w/ur decision.

Answer

My thoughts are if you're confused you're obviously filled with even a fraction of doubt. So if there is doubt, ask yourself WHY there is doubt... If that isn't self explainitory of an answer  to yourself then you might have bigger issues such as fear of commitment..? Lol sounds young. Yes marriage is dissolved so often today. It's easy to do, easy to undo legally but emotionally and mentally it's a lot more work and taxing than you think. Been there done that with my highschool sweet heart after 6 years. 
​Granted he cheated and became abusive., divorce is still too often used these days.

Answer

Yes I think you should try and wait a year isn't long enough to really know a person I think you really know a person after maybe 2 years ether way get to know him better before you rush into something so bug

Answer

My husband and I were only together 9 months before we got engaged. But we were also older and had a lot of experience dating and knew who we were and what we needed in a relationship. We got married a year after that and are still happy as clams.

Answer

Don't ask someone else for what they should do etc it's about how you feel you have to feel ready and if ur questioning if it's too soon then yes it is too soon and obvs ur not ready. When you know you know and there's no doubt about it at all

Answer

Before I met my husband, i was the type of girl to not say "I love you" until a year it longer. And I would have been the type of girl who would reply to this post and tell you to wait longer. However, two weeks after I met my husband, I told him I loved him. Two months later we were talking about marriage. After dating for nearly two years, we moved in together. A year later we got married, and, believe it or not, yesterday was our one year anniversary and I would have to say that I don't regret a single decision that I made with him. My point is, you have to decide with your heart and with your mind. I will say this, though. You will know when you have met your soul mate.

Answer

Wait at least 2 years. But that's just my opinion.
