Moving on to the Brightside Part 26

I'm clearly no expert on the coach and only read the book once, plus my memory has been total poop lately but I recall 8 weeks being the time frame to become exclusive in an R - NOT nessisarily for ILY. He does say to let the woman go first. Again, so much for the coach and his book but you didn't follow it.

I guess I more wonder if you're (not your) really in love J. I think you are really starting to like her a lot. In love though? Regardless I think you're (again not your) right in not regretting it. It will be interesting to see if she pulls back now and 4 months becomes her new record rather than three. It's hard to read this stuff sometimes but communication is key and that's happening so that's good! I think you've got the right attitude now though. You put it out, no regrets and what happens, happens. Good for you!

As far as timelines go, B told me the other day that her STBX (of 22 years) proposed after 2 days and they were married after 4 months. Each to their own.

OMG - 2 days? Why does that not surprise me. I've heard of stories like this - rarely if ever do they work out. As to each their own - I've yet to hear or read any mental health, life coach, minister, councilor... Anyone who should know these things to suggest this is a smart move. You simply cannot know soneone well enough in two months to get married - let alone 2 days! Marriage is hard enough with a one in two chance of lasting (the first time) it's likely the biggest decision of ones lifetime. To do it in two days is plain foolish. But maybe that's just me.
