You need to live in the UK in accordance with the regulations for five years before attaining PR in your own right.

thank you

so ...,that's it ?

Yes, your path to PR (EEA4) will still take five years (starting from the date of marriage or the date that you entered the UK on an EEA Family Permit, whichever is the later).

There is, however, a small advantage as your EEA family member is now no longer required to exercise treaty rights or hold CSI, as long as he does not lose PR by leaving the UK for more than two years.

I would suggest keep evidence that you are living in the UK to make your future application smooth - eg council tax bills.
