I met a wonderful man just two months ago, and we've been dating seriously since. He's fantastic and I think we both see a future together - but I got some big news yesterday that could change everything:
I will be moving halfway around the world, to Kenya, for work in about eight weeks.
The boyfriend, "Tim", has a successful career in the United States, but one he isn't terribly happy with. Since I got the news we've been making jokes about moving to Kenya together, and I can't tell if he's serious - we have even been looking for apartments online together! I get the feeling he is actually considering coming with me.
I know we've only been seeing each other for a short time, but I am falling for Tim and I don't want to lose him. I am considering asking him to marry me and come to Kenya. (One important factor he has mentioned is that he has a chronic illness and cannot be without health insurance ... a marriage would mean that he could share mine.)
Is this a crazy idea? Will he laugh at me? Will I regret proposing to a man? I need advice!

If you haven't spend much time together, it is easier to hide the real you and keep up a false persona which you will eventually discover. You have heard those who say, he isn't the same guy i married a few months ago. Happened to me.
Or if you have spent a tremendous amount of quality time getting to know each other, lots of communication rather than going to movies or on bike rides, he really could be the perfect guy for you. Also happened to me the 2nd time around. Only you can be that sure of him. If you believe he is the right one and you have already talked about Kenya together. I would say to go ahead and ask. You don't have much time to debate back and forth. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
