In many ways, I wish I had asked my lover to marry me sooner. I think see would have said yes and we would still be together. I decided to wait a bit. Perhaps too much. We dated 9 months and there were some red flags. So I stepped back a bit. She left and fell in love with someone only after dating him 1 month. I miss her so much I can't stand it yet the red flags perhaps were right. If she really loved me as she claimed, she would not have left. That's a bitter pill to swallow for me. Now time will tell if I did the right thing or not. keep an open dialog about your feelings with your partner and express your fears and concerns. I did not and regret it.
Best of luck and wish you well.
