…Until you knew that the person you were with was ‘the one you wanted to settle down with’?
If you entered a new relationship in your late 20’s / early 30’s, were you quicker to ‘settle down’ with that person?
I ask as in the last couple of months, a few people I know have gotten engaged to their partners, all of these are relatively new relationships, one of them being together 6 months, the other 12 months and the other about 2 years.
They are all in their late 20’s / early 30’s and are great couples and seem very much in love, I am guessing that by the time you’re in your mid 30’s, you’ve probably had experience of crappy relationships or relationships that just weren’t right and so are able to realise if something is ‘really right’
How long, at that sort of age, would you hang around for someone to ask you to move in together, make a proposal etc? Would you let years flit by in a relaxed fashion and go with the flow like you would tend to in your teens/ early 20’s, or are/have you been more firm re a timeline for these things/ what you want?
