to ask what is a reasonable timeline for moving in together and marriage? we are 32 and 30

[bluesymphony]

Before I get my head bitten off - yes I realise that these things are very subjective.

For context, we have only been together for a few months so anything could happen. He is 30 and I am 32. I would like to try for two children and I am trying to be mindful of my fertility.

Does moving in together at around the 1.5 year mark sound sensible or rushed? And does marriage at 2.5-3 years sound reasonable?

We both want marriage and this has already been discussed. I am cautious as I was badly hurt in my last relationship which ended four years ago, and he had a similar experience too.

TIA

I completely agree. I think having kids without thinking about how you could live as a single mum is important for every woman. Marriage offers some protection but many avoid paying if the marriage fails so it's not the guarantee it could be.

I haven't phrased that well. It's important for every woman to consider how she'd manage alone.
