Originally I wanted to be married by 23. Now that my relationship is failing, I’m thinking 26.

I want to like, meet someone in my 40s or 50s to retire with after we’re both already stable. Maybe have it be an open thing idk. That’s just me, and it’s not like I’m looking to convince someone who doesn’t also want that, so like. Don’t come at me lol.

If I was in a happy stable long term relationship obviously the sooner the better but ideally ill be with my partner for 7-10 years before a proposal

If I got married at 30 and lived till 70 id be with them for 40 years, I think 10 is barely sufficient to see if we're long term compatible to be sharing a space and life and responsibilities, people rush way too much these days imo

3 years is sufficient (statistically at least) but waiting too long before deciding if you could spend forever with a person is just keeping a foot out the door rather than committing and agreeing that whatever may come up that you will work through it together. If you don’t know by year 5??? You will never be ready.

Not applying to people who dated during developmental years obviously as they change as people so much

Saying this as someone who has watched my cousin date a girl and not commit to her for 8 years and she’s going to leave him because of this exact reason. Genuinely you have to decide sooner than 10 years (unless your partner also believes 10 years is a great amount of time)

You can be committed without being married, marriage is a social statement and legal binding, you can be fully committed to a person and relationship without doing that

Then why get married at all?

But also the way you described it is specifically not fully committed
