moped replied: When you know you know.....?

luvbug00 replied: i can't say much. me and lars moved in after 3 months of dating. but knew each other 3 months before that.

gr33n3y3z replied: I guess you can say she is old enough to make her own mistakes just as long as it doesnt effect anyone

moped replied:
Tom and I did too

Met Halloween - pretty much living together by Christmas!

boyohboyohboy replied: guilty, we got married 4 months after meeting and are on our way to the third wedding anniversary...
if that helps?

MommyToAshley replied: I guess I am with you and a bit more on the cautious side. Of course, we dated 7 years before getting married. rolling_smile.gif

gr33n3y3z replied: Ed and I dated for 3 and got married on the 4th year

momtoMegan&Alyxandria replied: I am sure it is hard seeing her do this, you don't want her to get hurt or scr*wed in the process. Something you have to remember though is your mom is from a different age than we are. They tend to be more trusting and are ok moving faster than we do. My parents met on a blind date and three months later were married. They have been married for 36 years. There must be more to their relationship then what you though. If nothing else remember it is her life, so long as it doesn't hurt you try to be happy for her.

Mommy2Isabella replied: Can't say much ... Sal and I met in July of 05 and were married by December 05 ... and had a baby in August of 06 ....

I can offer hug.gif hug.gif though

Mommy2BAK replied: haha I'm guessing this post isn't exactly unfolding the way you expected? Well I can see your concern for your mom, however Larry and I met in March and we're married by November. If ya know ya know... and I guess we just knew! wub.gif

Our Lil' Family replied: I can understand moving in but it sounds like they bought a home TOGETHER....that's a HUGE deal and wouldn't be fun to work out if something happened.

Sorry Rocky...I'd feel the same way!

Mommy2Isabella replied: I understand your dismay ...

Buying a house is a big deal especially TOGETHER, not just moving in. But like many others have said, if you know you know ...

Kaitlin'smom replied: well I kinda agree Rocky seems way to fast for me, my sister met her current DH they I think were dating mayeb 2 weeks before he practically lived with her wacko.gif I wont go into the rest but everything is rush rush with them drives me batty. Heck DH and I have been together 15 years, married 12 of thoes and you can do the math on how ong it was before we had a child.

Cece00 replied: Ok, so I would NEVER tell someone they were moving along too quickly, as I got married to my DH less than 4 months after we started dating BUT

I would never, ever ever ever ever ever buy a house with someone I wasnt married to. Not smart.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Seems very fast to me....but DH and I were engaged 5 months after we started dating.

But our engagement lasted 2 years.

Calimama replied: Wow that seems so quick. DH and I dated for 3 plus years before getting married and buying a house! Guess we were the slow ones. happy.gif

msoulz replied:
Oh don't feel too slow - we dated over 5 years before getting engaged and the wedding came a year and a half later. The upside is that we worked out a lot of problems in the relationship before getting married, but a couple of those 5 years were rocky! wacko.gif We just had our 15 year anniversary!

Anthony275 replied: I was watching tlc sometime this week on a baby story and this guy proposed after 2 weeks of meeting her blink.gif

Calimama replied:
Wow, 15 years!! Congratulations. thumb.gif thumb.gif

HuskerMom replied:
Wow that is quick. I don't know the whole situation but by the sound of it you don't sound happy about it.
It kind of sounds like my mom. Her and my dad got divorced in the spring of 2004, then she remarried in the spring of 2005, then divorced my "stepdad" in the spring of 2006. The whole thing made me furious. growl.gif I think it must've been her midlife crisis.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
I thought you'd said you knew each other from early childhood? I'm confused.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I should maybe clarify....

I don't care that they're going to be living together... they were pretty much already living together like 1 week after meeting.... he'd separated from his wife, and was living in his mom's house... and it was more convenient for him to just...stay at my mom/s, considering he was always there anyways...so they've already been living together 3 months

no I don't care that they're going to be "officially" living together in a new house.

They BOUGHT the house together. That's what's getting to me - my mom should know better. She's a divorce lawyer for crying out loud..... she's infatuated and making rash decisions. This one just might be an expensive one.

Miranda1127 replied: wow. thats all i've got just WOW. unbelievable

mummy2girls replied:
ditto on the confusion!

gr33n3y3z replied:
I thought the samething

Calimama replied:
You guys aren't alone, I thought the same. I remember thinking that it's so romantic is marrying a boy from your childhood. wub.gif wub.gif

moped replied:
???

Me too

Kaitlin'smom replied:
unsure.gif

grapfruit replied: I think I'm in the semi-stupid category. My boyfriend and I just bought a house together...but we've dated (and lived together) for 5 years. blink.gif Don't get me wrong, I know I'm bad and should be married first, but he's kinda gotta ask first dry.gif

That being said, I can see your concern, but you never know maybe it's "love at first site".dunno.gif

That ALSO being said, I'd be mad as H-E-double hockey sticks too. And I'd be b_ _ ching up a storm. happy.gif

lovemykiddies replied: I definitely see the concern here. Admittedly, I'm not married, so I'm not as knowledgable as you all on these things. BUT, my grandmother just had a heartbreaking experience with a man she married. This was her second husband as her first (my grandfather) died when I was 9.

Anyways, her second husband turned out to be scum. She recently divorced him. When they married, he moved in with her and started covering her finances. Previously he had been living in a trailer.

She is now in debt because of him. I feel so bad for my sweet grandma who raised 5 kids and deserves to enjoy the rest of her life (she's nearly 80).

I hope this is not the case, I really really do!! hug.gif Because I know each situation is different. But I can see why you would be upset.

punkeemunkee'smom replied:
I am in on that confusion....

I would be concerned that my mom bought a house with this man if they just met too. Is there something else about him you don't trust or is it just that you feel like they are moving too fast? How old is your mother? Is it possible she is feeling like she is older and maybe just misses the feeling of having someone there to be with?

luvbug00 replied: sorry stopped reading this post.. to clarify

1883-1989 our families were very close

1989 fall his family moved away

families loose contact not even a christmas card passes between ..

sept 2006 find lars on myspace (wedding called off and such)

start "offical" bf and gf relationship in december

move in together in march.

SOOOO 3 months from sept to december of knowing

december to march , 3 months of dating and we moved in smile.gif sorry for all the confusion but with the time between '89 and '06 we were litterly like strangers. so that's why i said it's not impossible to fall in love in such a short time. love2.gif

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Ah ok, glad you weren't offended by that Nadia. blush.gif

I just don't "like" him. I liked her ex boyfriend.

I think it's because he's just "in my face" all the time. From meeting him, they've been inseparable. He's always there. Always. my mom was supposed to watch my kids when they'd only been dating 2 weeks or so... and I asked her not to bring him, because 1 - my kids hadn't met her ex boyfriend of 3 years until 2 years into their relationship (it was on and off though), and 2 - i'd only just met him, he didn't need to see my house in it's messy glory. tongue.gif But she brought him anyways - so I think the fact that she disrespected me in my home over him just put that "blah" in my thoughts about him... kind of like, well she chose to bring him into my home and expose my kids to him even though I had requested her not to, and with reasons that I thought were valid...

I dunno.

Could be that my dad was very abusive and I kinda look out for her. dunno.gif

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Rocky I am the first one to defend the right of a parent to say who comes around my child and when they do so...personally I don't care if it is because I don't like your hairstyle-if I say no I expect that to be respected! In that case I totally understand your dislike for him...Your wishes should have been followed to the letter!

I think if you are unesy about him you should go with those feelings unless/until he proves them wrong.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Thanks Abbie.

luvbug00 replied: ITA with Abbie. your kids your rules no matter who's house they were in. I wonder if HE knew that you wanted to hold off on meting the kids or if she never told him..just a thought.
