Engagement?
I've also been thinking about Jen a lot lately. We're nearing 9 months together, which in the scheme of things isn't very much. However I love her in ways I've never loved anyone else before, she supports me in everything I do, puts up with my shananigans, and goes to efforts to make sure I feel loved too. To top things off, she would make a fantastic mother.
In short, I want to marry this woman. I've know this for a long time, but I also know there is some sort of pseudo-rules about how long people should be together first and what not. Chemically speaking I'm confident this has been enough time for the initial lust stage to run its course.
So how long is right? There are the typical bullshit answers "when it feels right", etc. I think the jist of it is no one really knows the answer because there is no right.
I don't think I'm going to do any better than Jen. I don't really understand the point of waiting much beyond this point to ask her, but at the same time I don't want it to be rushed like so many relationships these days (I see frequent tell of getting engaged in the first 3 months, or even the first 1-4 weeks).
