Congratulations!! Time is irrelevant.. when you meet the right person you know!! As corny as it sounds, I believe it's true!!
Although I knew Dee for about a year before we started seeing each other, we'd only been together for 5 months before I proposed... we both knew it was what we wanted. We were married 7 months later.. on the anniversary of our first date coincidentally!! I think age has a lot to do with it... we are both in our early 30's, and we've both been and done the long relationship thing previously, realised it wasn't with the right person, came out of the relationship and spent time alone. When we finally started seeing each other, we both knew what we did and didn't want from a relationship.. both of us wanting open communication, honesty etc etc. There was no need to play games as everyone tends to when they are 21 and looking for a 'bed' partner!! So we started off on the right foot.. Due to certain circumstances, we didn't jump into bed with each other immediately (made it all worth while when we did though!! ;^), and we were very hoest with each other when discussing any subject. One of the things that destroyed both of our previous relationships was the lack of communication, and immaturity. I wanted kids, my ex-partner didn't... that played a part in the breakdown of the relationship... so Dee and I discussed just about everything that could try our relationship down the track... kids, circumcision (of a potential son), death, houses, hopes, desires, fantasies!!!... everything!! What we have now is not only a very strong relationship, but also a very strong friendship!! I say timing is irrelevant, just communicate with each other, and find out if you are right together!
