I am 41 my wife and I have been a couple since we were 17 and 15 respectively, we didn't get married until we were almost thirty. There is no rush, you have time, and you may very well be a different person by the time you are ready for marriage.

While I understand your point of view, the chores I do are typically nothing to do with me. For example, I often have to water my mother's plants while she decides to go on four-day-long 'vacations' (in quotes because she doesn't have a job anyway). I also have to clean up for my sister very often because she makes HUGE messes, and doesn't understand the concept of cleaning up after herself. I have no problem cleaning things up, but my parents bought a huge house (since it was the cheapest one on the market since the seller's went bankrupt), and make my sister and I clean the floors for it very often. This creates a heavy tension now that I am working part-time, being a student full-time, and having to do homework on top of that. My parents also don't treat me with a lot of respect (ie- my dad likes to pat me on the head like I'm a little kid, etc.). If I lived sharing an apartment with nwlinkvxd, we could share chores and plus, everything would be easier in a small apartment because we are very much alike when it comes to our space.
There should definitely be no rush, but nwlinkvxd is the love of my life. As this goes, I will most likely be waiting another two years anyway, so by then we'll have been dating three years and some odd months. We knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives after four months. You may have waited a long time, but that was probably what you wanted to do.
