My dad asked my boytriend if he will marry me and its only been 2 months!?

Ive been seeing this guy for two months. We met onlibe a few weeks before that. I told him i wanted to get to know him better before sex, so we waited almost a month and the first time he couldnt even get it up he was so nervous! After i told him i was jealous he was seeing other girls, he told me he got rid of them as he sees me as longer term potential and asked me to be his girlfriend.

My dad now wanted to meet him (they never met.any guy i dated as i was a late boomer. Im 25 and my guy is 26). I waited three weeks before asking my guy to meet my dad. He was super nervous, but said he would do it for me and we scheduled it.

It was so awkward bc my dad basically interrogated him (hes traditional and from another country and both parents are religious. I am somewhat and my boyfriend isnt at all though he was raised catholic). My dad asked if he was there to propose and if.not what were his intentions. He said to take time to get to know me as we havent known each other that long. I agreed n that eventually i want marriage, but i dont know if its him.

After, i asked my bf his thoughts on marriage that he really doesnt believe in the institution and feel people just do it because its time, but arent happy. He saiid he prob will get married one day since he wants kids and society expexts it of him. I told him how i think marriage is the ultimate symbol of love and commitment.he gotit.he knos i wont live w a guy unless were engaged. Does it sound like our rs is doomed!?

    A house divided against itself cannot stand. He will marry because it is expected of him, you may marry because you believe in those sacred vows. Marriage is the giving of oneself completely for the other. If he does not feel this, or cannot recognize its value, then what does he have to give to you? There is a bond deeper than just sharing space with someone. It involves a complete self giving, and the blessing of God. Get to know him more. But if he isn't joyous in giving himself completely to you, and living in the light and hope of Christ, then what kind of future will you lead in his presence?

    If it doesn't work out, do not be afraid. It wasn't meant to be. Trust in God, he gave you the life you are living. All things come in due time.
