“I would pay more attention to your unease than to the calendar. A year can be plenty, or it can be a fantasy, depending on whether you two can already sit with disappointment and come back.”
“I wouldn't measure readiness by the calendar. I'd look at whether you two can repair after conflict, stay curious instead of reactive, and talk about what happens when you're not both calm. A year is plenty if those skills are there, and not enough if they aren't.”

“A year can be plenty or nowhere near enough; the real question is whether you feel safe enough to say you are unsure without him making you feel difficult for it. I would slow the conversation down and watch what he does with that.”
