| Topic | How soon is too soon to get engaged? |

We got married and didnt have any kids for 5 years and it just seemed like a glorified boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with each of us getting tired of the other so we ended in divorce. Pretty sure had we started a family we would've road it out. If you'd had kids, you might have stuck with it for their sake, but you still would have lost interest in each other (and, in fact, trying to ride it out for the kids' sake may have resulted in that apathy growing into antipathy). Ultimately, you can't expect relationships to be a steady stream of new and exciting experiences with a clear sense of progress. No matter what you do, eventually, you'll hit a point where you're just living your lives together and there are no more big milestones to look forward to. If simply being together doesn't make you happy, it's not a relationship you should be trying to make work long-term. --- This is my signature.
