But to say that I'm dicking around and wasting everyone's time, that's beyond offensive. Maybe you believe in rushing into things; I don't. I'm 21 years old, which to me is too young to be married. That doesn't mean it's too young to make a commitment, or to live with someone. We're waiting 3 years for him to be out of school, so we can move back to Canada. If we get married now, I wouldn't be able to get a student visa, which means I also wouldn't have my medical expenses paid for while I'm at school. As an epileptic, I wouldn't be able to afford my treatment and be a foreign student.
I understand I asked for opinions and views, and for those of you responded, thank you so much.
However, I don't appreciate being attacked by someone who obviously feels my relationship is a waste of their time.

I did have a previous engagement when I was about 20, engagement plan like yours, wait until after finishing school putting it at about 25, not too young to make the commitment etc.
After that did not work out, I'm glad that we didn't rush it because well, I'd be on my second marriage now.
At the same time, I don't know why I didn't get married to Skogafoss sooner.
Of course the major difference between my two scenarios is that we weren't in school and our careers were very established. Maybe it's more of a function of being older and more mature, experienced?
