In need of advise
OK ladies let me explain me and my sailor relationship and then I'll ask the question i need help with. First off and my sailor have been dating for three and a half years and we've both been there for each other for all the big changes in our life. Let me explain what i mean, we started dating my junior year in high school and we went to different schools, and then in college we both went away school, basically we've always had a long distance relationship, but we always made time for visit and talked every day. So along came BC which went well i missed him but we both got through it. So then A school and of course we thought it was going to be a piece of cake. Little did I know well to make a long story short we broke up over A school. But there where I need you guys advise. We just got back together after a month break. And the first then he said i want you to come out here and marry me. Which socked me b/c one of the main reason I ended was b/c i thought we wasn't ready to settle down. What should I even do? I did tell lets just take it one day at a time but the truth is i want to marry him just as bad as he does.

Give it some time. He won't be able to marry you right away anyway, if I am correct about this he has to meet with the chaplain at his base and go through some "classes" about marriage. Most states, especially if you are NOT a resident of that state, require a waiting period for a marriage license.
You're better off waiting and having him take care of ALL the things he has to do on his end before you even really consider it. Matt and I are working on getting married, but he still has more meetings with the chaplain in Groton before we can pick an official day for him to take leave and apply for a license.
