I really don't agree with all of these threads that state people should get married after being together two years...I think it depends a great deal on the logistics of the relationship...
My bf and I have been together 4 years...the first 2 were pretty bad...we didn't get along, argued CONSTANTLY, and even took a couple of breaks in between (5 months, then 3 months)...all in all, the 3rd year was a vast improvement and now we've learned to communicate better and talk our arguments out...I'll admit, I was a little childish and unsure in the beginning and so was he....(I'm 25, he's 24)....so it's like we've really been in the rship 2 years instead of 4...we've just been DEALING with each other for 4 years...that's a better way to put it...so....I'm just going to stop comparing myself to what others do and let us do what works for us... BUT, I did let him know I wasn't waiting on him....I'm not getting any younger!!!
