I feel like I can’t trust my judgment anymore. I went through a horribly traumatic break-up in March (decade-long relationship ended when I found out he was having an affair just a couple days before we were going to get married). I started dating someone new back in July and he’s been nothing short of amazing. But it’s only been two months and he’s already bringing up how he wants to marry me one day, moving in together next year, etc. Is this all too much, too soon? He also sent me this photo
