I lived with 3 different girls prior to marrying my wife. Honestly i have issues cooking and cleaning for myself. Each time it just did not click. Then i met my wife, we dated for 4 years then lived together for 1 year. Eventualky we got married when the time was right. We talked about getting married for at least three years prior to actually doing it but each time it came up there was uncertainity so we waited until it just felt right. When the right one comes along it will just fit and work out.

 

The big thing I relized after getting married and divorced in my early 20s was you must be happy before moving on. Every step I took with my ex was to "make things better". Well I wasn't happy and moving in togather didn't help, nor did having a kid or getting married.

If you are happy with this girl and things are good, then marrage is a great step.

 

I'll be 26 in a few weeks. I've been with my girlfriend for 6 years. She's brought it up a few times, but not recently. Usually she just gets sad for a little bit and then gets over it.

 

I'm 24. Shes 25.Been with my girl for 2 years and lived together for 1, but known her for 8. Before dating we were just friends. I have to hear it everyday about getting married from either her, her mom, her dad, her sister, or one of her friends. It's gotten to the point where it's feeling forced upon me and she has started questioning me on why I spend my $ on my toys and not a ring. I've been hiding a forged 370 build from her for 2 months lol....so I think I'm about to say F it and get out. It just doesn't feel right and when it doesn't feel right don't do it because you will regret it the rest of your life.

 

Diamonds that will shut her up, jk if you don't want to then don't just tell her you need more time, getting married to someone you really got to know them, been with my girl almost six years now got here a ring to shut her up few years ago and I keep telling her don't have the money to get married havnt been bothered for awhile now about it

 

yup said told me the same BS, and ive been hiding a forged motor also what a small world

 

Marriage isn't one of those things where you just "try it out" like dating or living with a chick. If you go about marriage in that sense you will lose half your **** and a lot of $. If there is any little doubt in your mind about marriage my advice is to wait and let it marinate so things can progress like you said. Try to rush it or being forced into marriage will do nothing but cause problems. Wait it out and when the time is right the pieces will fall into place. I have 2 friends that rushed into a marriage in their early 20s. They are now not even 30 and completely miserable in life because their wives are both complete bitches to them and had no idea they could be that way because they had never seen that behavior before marriage.
