me and my b/f have been together 2 weeks and i know im in love with him he treats me like im the best thing in the world, and loves my 2 yr old to death. im ready to make that next commitment, is it too soon? in my last relationship we were engaged for 3 yrs had a child and ended it very bitterly to the point he wont even see his daughter but harrasses me. i was young and stupid then am i doomed to make the same mistake this time? even though this guy treats me a lot better? hes quite a bit older than me but i feel like we are both very mature and responsible adults.

There have been couples who have known each other two weeks, or two months that have gotten married and have lived a very happy life together. So if you and him are happy and you see a bright future with him, why not, marry him.

Ok. I don't want you to take this the wrong way but I have been with my wife for a long time. It probably took about a two years to really know her. Two weeks is not enough when you have a daughter in the scene. This guy could be anyone you just don't know until you know. DON'T be in a rush to make "that next commitment." You might regret it forever.

How much do you know about this man's past?
Do you know anything about his past relationships?
What are his views on money, raising children, having more children?
Is he religious or not? Does he believe in God or not? (If you're an atheist and he's a Christian or vice-versa, that would make things difficult)
How much do you know about his upbringing or his family?
What kind of family dynamic is he from? Any siblings?
How is his relationship with his parents if they're living?
Is he a neat freak or a slob?
Does he believe in equal sharing of household chores?
Can he cook or does he expect you to do all of the cooking?
Is he ready to deal with your ex and your ex's harrassment of you?
What happens if your ex decides he does want regular visitation with his daughter?
How does your new boyfriend feel abour raising another man's child?
If he's asking you to marry him after two weeks, what is his hurry and what is he looking for in a wife?
Do you REALLY think you know all there is to know about this man in just TWO weeks?

2 weeks is way to soon..Getting married is a life long commitment or at least its suppose to be... don't go jumping in to things.. I know its rough having a kid you want them to have a father figure and a man to look up to..but ask yourself how well can you really know this person in a 2 week period..Lots of people put up a good front at first until they get comfortable then their true colors start to shine through..I'm a firm believer in not looking for love , but letting love find you..It will...When you least expect it..So, just roll with it for now ..Good Luck I hope this helps..

If it's magic, then what's the hurry? If he's the right guy, he'll be there a week from now and also a year from now. I would just enjoy what you have for now and get to know him better and better over the next six months to a year before making that lifelong commitment.

2 weeks is waaaaayyyyy too soon. You can't know someone in two weeks. Right now everything is fresh and new. You have to wait until you get used to the person. You may not feel the same way. Give it time. If you really love him and he loves you, then it won't hurt to wait for marraige.

If you think you can trust him, You love him, and you feel like you want him to be with you the rest of your life then let it be. It's your life you can make decisions with others help or some you just have to pick yourself and this one we cant pick for you but as long as you think hes the right guy thats all you need to know.

Yes 2 weeks is too soon, you don't really know him at all yet. See how you feel in another 3 months, and if you're both still as happy, then consider it.

My mom and stepdad moved in together the day after their first date and married two months later. It has been eight years now and they are very happily married. It just depends on the people involved, all relationships are different.
