Married to a U.S citizen, confused about proof of leaving the country.

Hello, When I am filing to become a citizen through marriage (I already have been in the USA for 3 years) it tells me to provide proof of all of the times I have left the united states in the past 5 years. Since Im filing through marriage, do I only fill the dates in for the three years I have been in the US? Or do I need to include the dates also for when I was living out of the USA?

You will have to do the entire 5 years or it won't take it. We had to do the same thing even though we are 3 years too. We used our Dominican address for the extra 2 years. Took it with no problem.

So you're saying that I should write I had left the country for that entire 2 year period? With no breaks? Won't that make them question why I was outside of the country for 2 years with no entry to the United States?

In our case, we were out of the US for the entire 2 year period.
