[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say year 2 is when women expect a ring.

I really don't think living together helps you know the person much more than anything else. [/quote]

OP here. This is more my timeline. I would like to live together in the next 6 months and be engaged by 2 years. Then a year of engagement. Maybe 1 year of marriage and then kids. [/quote]

Perhaps share this timeline with your girlfriend to see if she’s on the same page.[/quote]

OP said the girlfriend just turned 28. So he's not even going to propose until she's 30. Then she'll be 31 before they marry. Then she'll be 32 before they even start trying to have a baby. So 33, at best. Second baby at 35, at best, so she's advanced maternal age. If she wants a third kid, it might be dicey.

And the big risk here is that the girlfriend is putting her prime childbearing years at risk for a man who is avoidant and may or may not ever propose and may or may not be willing to have a baby when the time comes.

What's your philosophical belief on IVF, by the way, OP? Since you're headed for fertility trouble at the rate you're going.[/quote]

More importantly what’s your budget for it? It costs anywhere from $1-300k[/quote]
