[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She is not immature. I do understand how she may be feeling. [b]She watched friends stay in relationships for years with the intentions of getting married and it never happened. I do think she is worried that it may never happen. [/b]I also think the fact that everyone is getting engaged and married is making her feel like she needs a timeline in order to have kids. She has always said she wants two kids and wants to have kids by 40. [/quote]

I can see that.  All these plans about waiting until her family can be involved in engagement and going to Hawaii etc. before getting engaged, when you know these are delayed due to the pandemic, could be perceived as finding reasons to put it off unless she has been saying those things are more important to her than being engaged sooner.  If she isn’t saying it, why are you using things she doesn’t find important as an excuse to delay proposing?

If meeting your family in person is important and this is something that is realistic to accomplish soon, I would expect concrete plans to make it happen.  If it’s in driving distance but not close, stay at an air B&B versus a hotel.  Also if your parents have a backyard and it’s not a snowy tundra, plan to see them outside and get food to bring id everyone is being cautious. We haven’t seen in-laws much since the pandemic but we did see them twice in the fall - they drove up and back in a day (2 hours away) for my dd birthday, we took tables outside to eat in backyard and were at different tabes, stayed six feet apart, used hand sanitizer and didn’t cross paths in the house and didn’t see any other relatives at that gathering.  Did not see them at Thanksgiving or Christmas.[/quote]
