[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I was engaged at 25 to my college boyfriend after dating about 5 years.[/b] I would have left if he did not propose within a year or so of that time frame.

I don't understand all the posters advising their kids to wait until they're in their late 20's or 30s to get married.

In this forum, there's plenty of stories of the long lasting happy marriages where people met early (in college or early 20s) and married before they turned 30.

You can save money by living together being DINKs working on your future together. With combined household income, you can get on the property ladder faster. You bring less baggage. You have a better chance of being true equals (whereas that's harder with a financially established man in his mid-30s marrying a 25-year old woman who is just beginning her career).

I guess OP needs to understand WHY her son isn't ready to commit. Whether it's a general fear of marriage, or something about this GF in particular.[/quote]

I was also engaged at 25 to my college boyfriend. We were together for 6 years. I ended it. It was too young to get married. I have never regretted that decision.
