my bf and I have been dating for 6 months. He is 25 and lives with his parents. Hi parents are thinking of going back to bangaladesh in the summer and he will be living here permanantly to start his life. He asked me last night if I would like to live with him when his parents leave.

My bf has talked about marriage and having kids with me. He is really great with kids and I get the sense that he is definatly a fmaily man.

We are both in college. I ahve a year and a half before I graduate and so does he. He told me he would be able to get a job right away after he graduates.

I've met both of his parents and his mother and I seem to get along great. She respects me and thinks that I am perfect for her son.

I seem to be feeling hot and cold and I'm not sure if this is normal. One moment I'm totally in love with him, and the next I get cold feet. When he mentionned htat we live together when his parents leave...I completely dismissed the topic. I told him I don't beleive in living with someone before getting married or living together at all. He understood and quickly changed the topic and that if I was uncomfortable with it...then he wouldn't force me to do something against my will.

He says he is impatient and his mom told him to be patient. She told him not to distract me from school and just to let things progress...

he wants to see me almost everyday. I like the attention and I'm flattered that someone would take so much interest in me...yet I'm 21 and I feel like I'm being smothered.

he is a great guy and he helped me get over an abusive relaitonship...if it weren't for him I don't know where I would be...

I have insecurities about relationships and I've had abusive parents so I'm a little ancy about someone talking about marriage with me, because I'm afraid that if I believe in that...it amy never happen, and I'll get very dissapointed and upset.

can someone give me someone input on my situation??...has anyone else experienced the same thing??

I'm not very open with my mom so I feel I need a woman's advice...or someone who is a mom who can give guidance...
