Two quick warnings to leave you with. Seeking "fault" is not good but seeking understanding is great. Resisting or avoiding counseling is a bad sign that I hope doesn't happen in your case. You seem to be on a good path. Good luck to both of you.

Missing context on Reddit is unavoidable lol. I highly recommend couples counseling just to make sure there isn't anything bad, intended or unintended, going on on either side. Your communication already sounds like it's starting well and having a professional involved should only make things better.

I highly recommend couples counseling from what you are describing. There are some potential red flags here but without knowing the two of you in person, there's no way to really tell what is a red flag and what is just normal for you two. In my opinion, based on extremely limited information, it's a bit odd that a 23 year old woman in nursing school, (heard that story a thousand times) is saying she is unsure of your future when you clearly have your shit together as far as a degree, your own place, six fuckin' figures, etc. Giving you ultimatums and guilt trips six months in, especially when she hasn't done anything with her life yet, seems like a sign of bad things to come but I hope my assumptions are wrong. Couples counseling helps and it helps even more with couples that deal with mental health stuff. Good luck.

Making marriage plans or calling it quits at 6 months? After the mistakes I've made, I would say you should live with someone for at least a year before you start shopping for rings. It helps to know someone before you sign life changing paperwork. I just went to a wedding for people who spent a few years making sure they wanted marriage before they did it. It's not the 1950s anymore.

I'd rather listen to the licenced marriage counselors I have experience with than some random contrarian using Facebook opinion posts for their "numbers".
