Exactly. It takes time for the rose colored glasses of infatuation to come off and for people to show their true colors. That kinda IS what you're waiting for. I think your timeline above sounds reasonable.
Im right at about 2 years dating. And also, weve now been living together around a year and a half. In my opinion, this seems like a reasonable amount of time to date before getting engaged. I imagine that your post suggesting it was too early was about a time stamped post from 6-12 months ago?

I will definitely need to at least get some legal consult before entering a marriage agreement again. Alimony is far less of an issue to me than just division of pre-marital assets. Not that I think anything will happen, but I want to make sure I am protected somewhat.
