Dating a marine for 3 months. He's talking marriage/Kids in 2 yrs. Any advice?

I ended a long term relationship 4mo ago. I have a 2yr old from that relationship. The Marine has a 6 yr old that lives states away. I Like him but don't know about Love yet. we only see each other about once or twice a week bc we live 45 mile apart. (both of us are moving soon and it will be only baout 15 miles apart) We text or talk on the phone a lil in between. I think I'm more into him than he is me right now but he says stuff like I miss you and he cuddles and is attentive to me when we are together but doesn't really keep me informed about what he is doing or where he is at when we are apart. I haven't told him this bothers me bc i don't want to seem nosey. I'm trying to deal with it but It drives me crazy to not hear from him for over a day. My phone is my life, he never has his on or the battery always dies. He also drink w/ his buddies %26amp; parties pretty hard a few times a month. I don't really do any of that. It hurts me to think we need to stop seeing each other but if it's not ment to be I would rather decide now that later. Should I just stop trying to be with him and find someone else or tough it out bc things will change when we can see each other more?Dating a marine for 3 months. He's talking marriage/Kids in 2 yrs.

I was personally through a divorce and have two kids from it. I am now very happily married again and my wife just had a beautiful daughter.





When I started dating after the divorce I attempted to have a relationship only 4 months after we separated. I told myself that I was OK and that it was not a rebound thing, but looking back on it now, it was exactly that.





We all need companionship, caring, and affection, especially when we have broken off a long term relationship. That does not mean that it is bound for marriage and it also does not mean that you need to make a decision on it right now. You are allowed to enjoy what you currently have without thinking of where it will lead.





When I look back on my situation I think that the best thing for me would have been to stay out of a long term relationship for a while and regain my sense of independence and self, that is sometimes diluted in a long term relationship.





My current relationship started very lightly and SLOWLY became deeper and more intimate.





In summary... take it one step at a time. You are in a difficult emotionally charged place...its time to think short term.Dating a marine for 3 months. He's talking marriage/Kids in 2 yrs. Any advice?
you need to talk to him and tell him how you feel if your not ready you need to tell him because he might think your leading him on if you keep this going and when the time comes and you say your not ready it could really hurt him that's if he is true and sincere about marriage.
Personally, I would try talking to him about how you feel about everything. Make sure you explain it to him also.





Best wishes.





SEMPER FI!
If he is this way now- when dating, its very possible that he remains that way if you guys were to be together long term or get married. Then again- its also possible that he might change once he really starts to like you more. The thing is with us women is, we tend to think that the men we are with will change someday, and most times they do not. So you go with what your heart is telling you, and you'll eventually make the right decision. If he is not the one for you, Mr. Right will come along someday, hopefully sooner than later. Good luck!
