s/o engagement...how long until you were engaged>?

[starryfish]

How long were you all together before you were engaged?

[starryfish]

I was with him for 4 months before we were engaged...this was the second time we had dated though...should have learned my lesson!

[starburst604]

My first time, almost 2 years. This time, 20 months.

[Deleted]

Together for 4 years when we got engaged, engagement was a little over a year.

[baa1981]

We were together about 4 years. We moved in together after 6 month.

[spindle92]

1st one (we never got married, broke it off) was I think almost 2 years.
XH was a year.


and then we were engaged for 10 years before we decided to get married. 

[kaneen]

3 years.

[bowies]

With XH, 4 years (plus an almost 2 year engagement).

This time, 1.5 years (plus a year engagement).

[imalwaysme79]

Together 4 years. Engaged for 18 months before we married.

[naeljun]

5 years on and off.

[sweetchix]

6 months.
Granted, we had dated for about 1 year, then split for about a year, got back together, and were engaged 6 months later. So many signs yet I didn't listen.

[cabbage10]

5 years dating, engaged after being long distance for a year. (why did I not listen to people!?) engaged for 2 years but never married...yay for wasting 7 years of time on him!

[Deleted]

6 months. It was wrong for us on so many levels.

[Deleted]

With ex-FI, a year and a half. WIth DH, two and a half years with a year of engagement.

[udscoobychick]

19 months first time around before he proposed (together another together another 18 months after that)

22 months this time...we'll have been together 3.25 years by the time we get married.

[winecat]

Not long enough. A few months? We were engaged for 2 years.

[Deleted]

8 months

[Deleted]

Over 6 years

[dakotadangerdog]

I don't get the point of long engagements. Like why get engaged after a couple months and then wait 2 years to get married?

[findingme02]

Got engaged 5 months in and was engaged 1.5 years. I think we had a longer engagement because I knew the marriage didn't feel quite right, but yet I went through with it.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

3.5 years of FWB. 9 months of actual dating.

Should've stayed fuck buddies. Live it, learn it.

[macmars45]

 1 year and two weeks. Then engaged for 8.5 months.

[starburst604]

Around here people usually wait a year or more. Places book up fast and can be pretty expensive. When I tell people we plan to have ours this October or November, it's almost unheard of. But we're not getting any younger and want to have kids right away. My last wedding was booked for over 2 years away. Thank GAWD I wised up during that time. We cancelled it with 8 months to go.
