Worried about the pace of DSs relationship - should spend some time apart?

[Carzoe]

DS is 22, 23 next week, he has just finished uni and is now taking a gap year (well his 2nd gap year as he didn't get to travel much the first one thanks to Covid!). Over the summer he went to Europe backpacking alone, 5 days in he met a girl, travelled with her and her friends for a couple of weeks then they split off together and have been together non stop since. Turns out they went to the same uni and just never met and they seem really close.
They both graduate on Tuesday (no idea why they are so late this year) and have birthdays within the next two weeks so they have come home for 2 weeks. Originally after this DS was going to go to SE Asia (flights booked) but now he has decided he is going back to Europe with her and then they will head to SE Asia together in late October.
As they went to uni in London and both graduate on Tuesday we came to meet him in London today and we met her and her dad over dinner. She seems lovely, very attractive girl and smart too. I'm happy DS is happy however they met 9 weeks ago and haven't actually been apart in 7 weeks!
DS told me tonight that on Wednesday they will both come home with us to Hampshire stay until the Monday then head up to Cumbria where she is from for the last week as it is over her birthday and then leave from there for Italy.
I want to be okay with this but I actually think 2 weeks apart would be for the best, he hasn't been away from her in 7 weeks and is about to travel with her again.

AIBU to think this is way too much and they should each spend 2 weeks with there family after graduation then meet back up to travel if that is what they really want?

It seems so intense I'm worried it will end badly!

I met my DH at 24 so not much older and we’d have spent all our time together had geography not got in the way. We said I love you within months, got married 5 years later and have now been married 13 years.

She might be his “one” or might be the one for right now. Either way it’s not up to you who he spends time with or how much of it he spends with them.

It’ll either be the love of his life and they will still be together 20 years later or it will run its course. Like all relationships really. Having 2 weeks off is neither here nor there! Also, lovely to do this whilst you’re young, with no complications or ties. It’s never as easy or as fun when you’re older in a new relationship with a load of baggage.

Heartily agree! I have DD27 similar to your DS and wish she was living this life.

Come on, OP, kindly you are being really ridiculous.

You’re being over protective and interfering. He’s 23 not 13. Leave him to live his own life and make his own mistakes.

Keep your nose out is my advice

They've been together more than two months! It's not too fast to say boyfriend and girlfriend.

I think your view of this is kinda weird!

"It's been 9 weeks and they have already adopted the "boyfriend/girlfriend" titles and said they love each other. "

You'd hate my brother in law op. He said he loved his now wife on the night they met. Engaged 2 weeks after meeting! That was over ten years ago now. Happily married with 3 kids.
