I know that everybody and every situation is different, but come on, 3 weeks? I've seen couples together for more than 2 years and then get married and that lasts less than a year before the divorce. Good luck and may the Force be with you.
I'll say this. My first REAL relationship when I was 14 lasted for well over a year. My next relationship lasted for 6 years, and then the relationship with my soon to be ex-wife lasted over 10 years. I don't get into a relationship unless I know that it is going to last a long time. I can easily see myself eventually getting married to Michele.
I will certainly listen to what other people say and take their words and thoughts into deep consideration towards my decisions.
Yes, I have just gotten out of my marriage so to many other people they would feel that this is just too soon, but trust me that if you all saw just how compatible and perfect we are together I think everyone here would be rooting for us.
I never felt that my ex-wife was really my soul mate or the perfect person for me, even at the beginning. I only married her because I unexpectedly got her pregnant and it was the right thing to do. I am now making choices of things that I WANT to do. Maybe we should slow things down a little bit and relax.
We have been talking about moving in together, although that would take a few months before it could happen because she would need to get a job transfer since she currently lives in another state and works about 2 hours away from my house.
I had a great day with her and her children yesterday. I was able to bond quite a bit with her daughter who turns 9 next week, and my daughter just turned 9 two days ago. Her children's father is a complete loser and not in their life at all unless Michele pays him to babysit. Just from the few times that I have been around her children, I have done more for them and with them than their father EVER has. I certainly don't want to replace their father, but I think even a pile of dog crap could easily replace him, honestly. Her children need a good father figure in their lives. My children need a good mother figure in their lives.
For the short time that we have known each other, we have covered lots of ground. And the great thing is, we aren't just thinking about ourselves and our relationship, we are both thinking with our children as the top priority. We are going to do things right. You all must please trust my judgement on this, especially being that I am not a fucking idiot and I over analyse everything. I would not ever do something if I could ever see it turning out in a bad way or if it just didn't feel perfect, especially with so many other lives that depend on the stability.
