Has anyone "jumped the gun"?

[poookie]

FYI: jump the gun: "to do something too soon, especially without thinking carefully about it"

I'd love to hear from anyone that knew their S/O less than 6 months before deciding to get married.

Or from those that knew less than 6 months into the relationship that he was the ONE.

Did you feel you made a mistake?
Were you happy with your decision?
If you could go back, would you do it all again? What would you change?

Please share your experiences!!!

My SO asked my mother for my hand in marriage about a couple of months into our relationship. We've been together 6 months and are currently engaged.

Although, I wouldn't say we jumped the gun though.

My ex told me about a week after initially coming to be that i would be his wife. I told him a month later i loved him first. but i guess i knew he loved me too.

I do regret the way that I came on to him and how I chose to word what I was trying to say. And the timing was all wrong
I'm okay with my decision, but I really do miss him and I really liked where we were at and where I thought we were headed. I just wish I would have waited to have that convo later on....
If I could go back, I would just have told him that I loved him rather than getting scared and basically just coming at him in the wrong way...surprisingly, I don't think about him or the situation that much these days even though it happened maybe like 2 weeks ago or so.

I just think it's crazy how it took me 3 or so months to really fall for him and in one message, I lost him. Might just be one of thee saddest days of my life as an adult. I had big plans for me and him, just didn't time them right.

And my situation surrounds an ultimatum type of situation and being a little too aggressive with my choice of words.

Thanks people for sharing your experiences. I think i'm about to jump the gun myself...

& it seems like the general consensus is that there always seems to be negative consequences. :scratchch

uh oh...

Ok, I'll bite.

I knew my DH about 6 months before we got married. He told me that he loved me first around 2 months, told me that he wanted to marry me around 4 months (I kinda knew that he was serious, but boy, I didn't KNOW!).

He surprised me with a marriage proposal while on a dinner cruise at 6 months and 4 weeks later we went to the Justice of the Peace 'cause I was buying a house and I did not want to live together without being married.

We had a big wedding one year later on the same date. It was nice as there was no stress 'cause we were already married so it was a big party!

We didn't have children for several years as we were working on our careers.

Regrets? Nah! I have a fantastic DH and he is a very loving father! We will have been married for almost 10 years and it is getting better. We have had our ups and downs of course, but I would do it again.

You know what is interesting is that he was not someone that I would usually date.
