My brother in law dated his first wife about a year they got married then divorce a year later. He did the same thing again 3 years later both women were the ones to file for their respective divorces due to aboose. He got married again in 2020 after knowing her 11 months, they got married on Halloween. He filled for divorce on 4/20/23.
We got engaged after 11 months. Got married 1 year and 2 months later. We’ve just celebrated our 6 year anniversary last week married, 8 years together
Met 96, engaged 97, married 98 still together 25+ years
If you are not ready do not get pushed
We were 14 years together before we married 13 for engaged and now 6 years married
He proposed 3 months after we met, married 3 months after that. You know when u know. I had zero doubt zero anything. I suggest no matter how long it is, you just know and are comfortable with the next step.
If it was the right thing for you, you’d be overjoyed and excited. Mine first proposed after we’d been together formally for a month. I told him he was drunk and laughed but secretly I was quite excited at the idea. We got engaged a few months later then formally announced it with a ring and a proper proposal at about the six month mark. We were married exactly a year later - although we had planned to get married two years later. We got together 26 years ago… Some people are together for years before marriage. My cousin was for ten years before he got married. And as my Mum used to say about any decision making, “it’s not like the wedding is tomorrow”.
That discussion should be between your boyfriend and you. His mother has no place in it. Sounds like you have a lot of uncertainty. Your talking about your life, it doesn’t matter what any of us have experienced. Don’t be pressured into anything you might regret. You’ll know when you’re ready. When you’re certain, then you and your partner set a timeline that you both agree on.
6 months proposed on our 1 year anniversary
A man knows the moment he meets you 6 months in
Me and my husband started dating October 16, 2008, got engaged December 25, 2008, and Married May 11, 2009
At least he brought it up. Sucks when your years and kids in and had to be the one to attempt. Lmao. All regerts
Congratulations you have some big decisions
Engaged after about 6 months, wedding is 15 months after engagement.
Dated 4 days. Got engaged. Married 4 months later. Been married 40 years with 5 kids and 8 grands and another on the way. When you know, you know. He is the best husband, dad, and papa.
His mother shouldn’t be part of the equation. She should not be making suggestions, pushing you, or telling him what to do. Period.
If you feel like it’s too soon, then it’s too soon. Trust your own feelings and don’t let them rush you.
And if he lets his mother be in your relationship business, that’s a HUGE red flag. If that’s what’s happening, you need to reconsider the whole relationship. Parents do not belong in the middle of their children’s relationships.
I’ve been with my bf for 5 years and I don’t think we’ll ever get married. We went through messy divorces with previous partners
We were together 2 years before he proposed
We had a year and a half engagement.
3 and a half years together before marriage.
If you’re not ready for it you need to talk to him about it, not him and his mom, just him. I don’t know why the mom is trying to be so involved.
Do you’ll live together yet? If not, I personally feel that’s an important step before marriage, live together for at least a year if not longer because you need to know if you can cohabitate with each other. Does he live at home and mom is trying to to pawn him off on you cause she’s tired of doing everything for him?
But most importantly how do YOU feel about it? Be honest with yourself. A lot of people are not even in love at 6 months, in the honey moon stage, sure, but not love but it doesn’t mean they won’t be eventually. If YOU don’t want to get engaged at the year mark or married at the 2 year mark YOU need to tell him and put your foot down.
This is your life to and you’re allowed to say no.
I was with someone 4 months then got married then a year and 5 months later we split and now going through a divorce
We started dating in may 2018married by October 2018. And getting ready to celebrate year 6. I do have to mention we knew about each other for 22 years lol. But there was no questions

Together 9-2016
Engaged 11-2017

Still together 2024
If you still have mixed emotions at 11 months then I would suggest waiting on the proposal.
Let me get this straight, “him and his mom are talking about him proposing” ? you dont even need to be in the loop in this relationship, cant wait to read later on what him and mom have cooked up for your childbearing schedule and living arrangements. Grab your own steering wheel before its too late
We started dating in Nov 2012, but 20 and 21 and both in college we didn’t engaged until May 2018 and got married August 2019
When you know you know, like for real. 6 months, 1 year, 2 weeks. So if you’re questioning, he’s not your person.
There is no set timeframe. You - and your partner - are the only ones who can determine if the time is right for you.
I met my husband March 29th 2019, through mutual friends. We talked off and on and started dating May 5th 2019. We were married July 2nd 2019.
Him and his mom planning together seems like a red flag how much is she planning? Are you marrying her too? Like alot of boys come with their mama attached
We had 2 children and a stillborn before we got married. I dont think theres a right or a wrong though. My first husband we got married after 6 months because i was pregnant. Ive never even been proposed to it was just a discussion i think we should because of this and that then off to the courthouse for paperwork. 1st husband turned out to be extremely abusive and controling and i was stuck with him for some time even stalked after i told him i didnt want to be with him and he assumed i had someone but i was just done with him and he was sooo mad at the friend (brothers gf at the time) that opened my eyes to his abuse i was just accostomed to. Hubby now is a 360. And i wasnt ready myself to marry just because we had kids. I think both of us needed time before we jumped that gun since we had similiar early relationships.
