I sometimes think about how other people have less happy relationships than mine, and that makes me sad for them

I also had a rule that I would live with them for at least 1 year before committing to a proposal. I had to know in advance that I could live with this person, at their best AND worst every single day, before I would even consider marriage.

Blows me away people get married before living with them. I never experienced that in reality, but the dating shows drive me crazy.

My wife and I moved in during the dating stages, and we drove each other crazy. After a few years, we chilled out and learned better habits from each other, then after a long time... We popped the question.
