How long is to long to wait for an engagement?

Question

Me and my boyfriend both want the same goals in life. Marriage, family, ect. But how long is to long to wait for that next step. I don't want to waist my time on someone who is never going to take that next step with me.

Answer

Me and my bf have been together for 4 years. I’m 30 and he’s 35. We’re not engaged. I know I want to get married and I think he does LOL. But don’t rush it. The more you bring it up and want to rush something like that, then the more it’s going to make him back away from it bc he’ll feel pressured. Just go with the flow, have fun, live life together and when it happens it will happen

Answer

Just depends on the individuals. My boyfriends brother and his girlfriend have been together 14 years and they're not engaged yet. If marriage is a huge thing for you then fine, but I don't necessarily think it's "wasting time waiting" if you're in a happy, loving relationship you're content with. If it's genuinely bothering you and getting you down, talk to him. You could end up getting engaged and staying engaged for years. Or, propose to him? I would love to get married one day but I know my boyfriend is just like his brother and won't be in any rush to propose and I know that, I'm fine with that. It just depends on if it's a make or break for you x

Answer

going through the same thing. some people want to have some things before marriage, a house, career, money. some people get married after a couple months of knowing eachother. some people wait years and years. what’s the rush to have a ring on the finger. if he loves you a ring doesn’t determine it.

Answer

My boyfriend (30) and I (29) have been dating a year. We both want to get married (and to each other) and have more children, but we’ve been together a year and still haven’t moved in together, we’re comfortable like this now, and I’m not rushing it. It all takes time and being comfortable. If he’s not ready don’t force him.

Answer

That depends on whether you are prepared to take that step. Remember that it is not only to get the ring, it is if you are really prepared to celebrate the wedding, to move together and incur the expenses that entails.

Answer

It needs to feel right to both of you. Only you can decide what is too long. Talk to him about it. If he can’t give you an answer that sits right, you may likely need to leave.

Answer

Depends on you. And how important it is to you.
Personally I've never need things to happen in a specific order and I've talk to my partner for years about what we want in life and when we can see ourselves doing that.

Answer

I think it depends on age. If you’re under 25 I would think 4-5 years would be the cutoff (for me) 25+ I wouldn’t wait as long and if I wasn’t engaged by 2 years I would be done with the relationship.
