“NTA it’s not your problem that she has to wait for 18 years to get engaged, and you don’t need to wait with her. Not getting engaged for 18 years isn’t really an overall problem, however if she personally has a problem with it in her relationship she needs to bring that up with her partner, it has nothing to do with you. She’s getting angry at the wrong person, completely out of line. I would broach this firmly with her now, rather than just “accept her feelings” or this is going to keep happening whenever you have a big life event.”
