Seven months, wow! That is pretty quick! I hope you'll be very happy together.
I guess what I try to remind myself is that if our relationship is really going to last for a very long time anyway, there's no harm in waiting to get engaged. We don't need to prove anything to anyone really. I do try to live in the moment and focus on our life together right now, but there's so much outside influence trying to nudge its way in!
Thank you for your thoughts :)
