long engagement

hi there, i think it depends on the couple on how they handle their relationship and how they can make it exciting despite the length of time they are together. when we are inlove sometimes we didn't notice that we have been engaged for that long but yes its true that there comes a time that you will get bored specially if things are being redundant already and nothing interesting happens. but that is also one test in the relationship that we have to pass to know if the relationship will survive till the end. huh! but sometimes some are just not meant to be that no matter how long they are engaged to each other they still ends up breaking up...maybe because they just fall out of love due to long time waiting. lol! just like a friend of mine that they are engaged for 10 years and still they didn't make it to marriage and the guy marry someone that he just know less than a year. haha but in my personal experience, my husband and i are engaged for 5 years before we get married, yeah there are ups and downs in our relationship but i guess we are just meant to be and destined to be together and so we survived.

I think I can relate with the topic. k I can relate on your topic. I had a long engagement with my boyfriend of 5 years. Let us say, we are engaged and supposed to get marry this October. But we broke up last February. The reason for the break up was a third-party and lack of communication. I don't want to go in the detail of the break up because it is still fresh.

Hi1 I'm definitely suit in this topic. I my self attached in a very long engagement and while in this process i sometimes got bored of waiting ,planning and preparing for our future. As we go along with this very long preparation i encountered several issues(within my self)and sometimes wanted to quit or call the engagement. For those years I've committed my self to my partner i realized that there are lots of things that i wished to do but thinking of letting her go is much painful. I guess when you are in a commitment you have to surrender those things that makes you feel better and start building a new life with your future partner.

I think it will get quite boring though. Knowing that you have to wait so long before the actual marriage take place. But i don't think any break up should happen in this, because what they will be going in after that will be eternity love. So why in engagement you will break up? I know your mate will be looking forward for the marriage and after a while will start to be disappointed but that should still not cause any break up.

In my place there no such thing as long engagement, in general. Most of the marriages are arranged ones, and cases of break up are rare. They live happily ever after.... Things are changing a bit now as a result of globalisation and greater emancipation of women.New jobs, new economic security and new ideas have started disturbing the otherwise peaceful married lives.
