  • If I was in a relationship, to me a year wouldn't be too soon. But if you feel it's too soon, then it's too soon for you.

    But I would consider whether you really think it's too soon or whether you just don't want to take that step with him.

  • Do you see a future with him? I would say there is nothing wrong with a long engagement!

  • It would depend on how the kids in the relationship feel. For me, a year is long enough without kids involved. But with kids, I think things should be taken so much slower and a year may definitely not be long enough.

  • Since you aren't ready, tell him this. You should give yourself a good chance to heal after your divorce.

  • Length of engagement is an individual thing. You aren't ready. So don't get engaged till you ARE ready.

  • My husband and I were engaged after a year, and married about two weeks after that. There were no kids involved though and neither of us had been divorced. If you feel it's too soon, then it's too soon for you.
