Do quick relationships always end in disaster?

Long time poster. Recent name change.

I have recently started seeing someone, we will call him Bob.

I have known Bob for many years, not really a friend, but an acquaintance .

My relationship with DC father ended 2 years ago. Bob has been single for a year.

We started messaging, which became frequent and lots of phone calls for hours. Everything felt relaxed and natural.

We met up for a drink a few weeks ago and have been in constant contact ever since.

Everything feels just right and just click and fit. Very similar interests/ morals/ life wants.

It is moving quickly, but it feel so right.

I don't think I am being 'love bombed'. I hear that expression a lot on here, but how does anyone actually know?

My question. Can quick relationships ever work ? Or is it just lust ?

I had a seasonal job at McDonald’s when I came home from university so Christmas summer etc. Was home one summer and started talking to a guy also working there. Went out one night in July he came along ended up kissing and sleeping together that night. He then went to magaluf the next day on a lads holiday so really bad timing and didn’t expect anything really especially as I was then going back to university in the September (away from home). Turns out he kept in touch all through the holiday and when he came back we were pretty inseparable. We became official in the September just before I went back to university and then he ended up coming over to live with me a few weeks after I went. Found out I was pregnant in the November and was about 10 weeks. Obviously young and scared but so in love! All happened very very quick but here we are 9 years later, married 3 years with an amazing 8 year old little boy and our second due next month! Sometimes it works out no matter how quick sometimes people are together years and years then have kids or get married and split up soon after!
