No, no, no, and in case you're wondering, no, you should not propose. Nobody should get engaged after being together only nine months; IMO more than a year is the absolute minimum. And these days almost nobody should get engaged at 24 years old. And you're getting ready to probably go out-of-state for three years, meaning either an extended long-distance relationship or dragging her with you. This is a terrible idea.

[ETA]
That you've posted your question at the font of wisdom known as the OT on TigerDroppings instead of having this conversation with one or two of your closest, wisest, most trusted friends / relatives is also strong evidence that you're far from ready to proposed to anyone.

If serious, this is hands down the dumbest advice I have ever seen on this board, and that is a highly competitive sport.



How so? We sell it together and split it if it doesn't work out. I don't think that will be the case, but it's an option.

We bought the house this year, got the dog this year, and I cashed in my bonds for the ring. They aren't going to appreciate anymore and if the dollar fails then I got transferrable value in them.

It's worked for us.

Holy shite indeed at the responses. It's a great test. If you can't get through that or the financials are shite then the game is up. We passed the test and are doing just fine.

Law school is a bad time to get engaged/married. VERY few folks who entered law school in a relationship left law school in that same relationship, myself included.

1. Don’t go to law school. Terrible ROI. Lawyers don’t make much more than school teachers do right out of school, and lawyering sucks. It’s nothing like what you’re told it will be. It’s WAY more hours, more stress, and more isolation for very little additional pay.

2. If you absolutely must go to law school, don’t get engaged or married until after. Law school will change you in ways you cannot imagine. It will strain your relationships in ways you cannot predict. Be patient and see if she is the kind of person who can roll with that.

Law school tends to stress relationships by taking away your time, money, and attention while also surrounding you with similar people who are nearly all alcoholics and going through the same things. Your SO will be tempted to cheat because you’re not around, and when you are, you’re miserable from all the stress. You’ll be tempted to cheat (if you’re at least decent looking) because you’re surrounded by frustrated sluts who want to use you for stress relief.

If your relationship can survive 3 years of that, she’s a keeper. But, even really great relationships rarely make it through that crucible.
