There is no rule on what a good time is, because every relationship is different, as are your individual goals for that relationship. If it feels right, do it

She’s not who I thought she was

I am a 32-year old and have been married for three years. My wife and I dated for a year before we married, and I sometimes wonder if I should have spent more time getting to know her first. She has a sense of entitlement that makes it seem as if the world owes her something all the time. She takes a lot of things for granted, treats people well only if she thinks they can be of use to her, and is not the person I thought she was. It’s possible that these signs were always present, but I just didn’t notice because I had no opportunity to get to know her that well based on the dates we had every other weekend. I’m not blaming her because I chose to accept her, but I worry because I don’t want to get older and regret this decision. Should I talk to her about how I feel?
You should always speak about what you feel because that is the first step towards understanding and empathy. You have both committed to spending a lifetime together and while that commitment doesn’t need to be binding, you owe it to yourselves to try and be better partners to each other. People evolve, but they need to learn about themselves to be able to do that. This may be a difficult conversation for you both to have, but it feels as if neither of you has had it yet. The sooner you do, the higher your chances of growing into better versions of yourselves as you get older. It will also bring you closer together, if done in the right spirit.

Is it too soon to suggest moving in with someone after a year of dating?
That depends entirely upon how you feel about each other and why you want this to happen. There is no rule on what a good time is, because every relationship is different, as are your individual goals for that relationship. If it feels right, do it.
