I got together with my DP 15 months ago, he moved in pretty quickly along with his two daughters from a previous relationship.

I’ve found out recently that he is planning to ask me to marry him but his decree Absolute only came through last week from his divorce - is it all too quick?

From the fact you are asking the question then yes it's too soon, if not for him then for you. Slow it down and wait another year before making that kind of commitment.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If you think it's too soon, then it's too soon. Listen to your gut.

Oh op @ToothlessIsMyPet my late DH proposed after 7months, we married 13 weeks later. It was such a happy time. I say if it feels right go for it ❤️

Why on earth are you doing school picks ups? No no no. How old are the children? He's got himself a ready made wife, home, and mother for his kids. Listen to your gut because it's your gut that's making you question things. Guts are always right.

What @DeathStare said.

It's a bit worrying you are asking for approval when it comes to length of time - there's no right or wrong period of time really as it varies for everyone but if you feel it's moving too fast then it is!

You're allowed to have a say in this, surely you don't want to go along with someone else's timeline if it's not sitting right with you.

If he's right for you then if you say it's too fast and you want to take things slower he will understand and be on board. If he isn't happy to move at your pace then you aren't compatible.

Please don't just go along with something for fear of upsetting the other person if it isn't right for you.

Youve already taken on his children.

That should of been the biggest most important "slower" step to take...

Not the fact to marry him or not

When did his last relationship end and when did yours ?
