text: is there a reason why my boyfriend is in such a hurry to get married? we have been dating for a year but both of us have been married twice before. could be that he doesn't like to be alone and the only way for him to not feel that way is to get married. have you talked to him about his other two marriages? find out why he thinks the marriages failed. how long was each marriage? how long before divorcing one wife did he marry the second one?  if he lays all of the blame on his ex wives, i would be very leery about marrying him. remember it takes two to make and break a marriage.  thanks for the additional information.  so, he doesn't think he was at fault for either of the other two marriages breaking up? hmm, i would worry about that one. also you say you have different ideas on other things, sounds like you may not be compatible. since you have been married twice before you should know where those went wrong and hopefully learned something. don't be in such a hurry to get married and if your boyfriend continues to rush you, let him know that you want to take it slow. if he truly loves you he will respect your wishes. i also would suggest that if you do decide to marry him to go to some type of counseling before hand. good luck to you.
