I need some suggestions. A friend of mine is in a newer relationship, I think under 2 months. Her boyfriend recently moved across country back home (an internship ended locally) and they've decided to continue the relationship. They are attempting to visit each other alternating once a month. I know this is hard as I've done it before (though with less distance). What I'm writing for is she's already talking marriage. Even though they are both great people, I'm concerned what they are setting themselves up for in discussing marriage so early and over long distance. I want to support my friend, but still give her a reality check now and then.
They are tentatively discussing a possible marriage (though there's no current engagement) for 5 months from now. I've already warned her of the stresses that could happen from planning a quick wedding when you know each other very well, but what can I warn her about trying to plan all this when she's still learning about him/them?
I want to set her up for success, support her, and make sure she's got her eyes open all together. I want to make sure she sees both sides without being a downer on the situation, especially if this magically all pans out...
