She most likely isn't entitled to 10 years of alimony if you were only married for 1.5 years. The 7 years you were together before your marriage doesn't count since CT does not recognize common law marriages.

I can't tell you if the $3500 is reasonable or not because I don't know what either one of you earn nor do I have any information regarding your assets.
