Hi Stephanie,

Please post this on your blog so your readers can give me advice on my situation.

I have been dating my boyfriend for about six months now. He is based in London but comes to Nigeria very often. He asked me to marry him. I have a good feeling about it and I want to say yes, but the problem is I feel like we don’t really know each other and that we need more time. He is abroad most of the time and has promised to take me there with him when we are about to start having children. He also assured me that he doesn’t have a wife or children in London.

I’m so confused. He wants us to get married this year but I don’t understand his rush. What do you advice? Should I go ahead and marry him?
