It has been non-stop reality and chaos, and the only thing that has gotten us through is each other.

That's horrible. If you guys got through that still in love and liking each other, you are good for the long haul.

Ours isn't as bad, but put a strain on us. During the 4 years married, he had a pelvis injury that kept him on super high doses of morphine for 2 years. He got better and rolled an ATV last November and has had to have shoulder surgery twice (his dominant side). He still can barely do anything because he got an infection.

Of course it is! You don't even know this person, hardly! People can be full of surprises. That's why you take your time to get to know them. They may have a variety of negative characteristics that would cause you to fall out of love 6 months down the road.

What you are experiencing is infatuation, not love. Love is based on knowing someone more profoundly than just 2 weeks, and accepting them with whatever flaws they may have.
Are you talking about unconditional love?
Do you believe in unconditional love?

Each person is different. If you feel like you love her, tell her. I told my wife when we were dating that I loved her about a week after our first date. She told me she was leaning that way but wasn't ready to say it yet. She said it 2 weeks later.

Ugh, sorry to hear it. These are the curve balls life throws our way and it's the hard times that really show if two people are a good fit for each other. It's easy when life is grand and nothing is going wrong, but hardships or even simple disagreements can bring out a different side of a person. There are exceptions, but on the whole, I don't believe you can love someone in a week or two. Maybe you see it heading that way but two weeks is still a stranger you're just getting to know, imo.

My boyfriend said I love you after like a week and a half and it kind of surprised me... when its that soon sometimes you feel pressured to say it back even though it may be true sometime in the future

I think it's possible to love someone instantly. Love is limitless. I've always told people I love them very quickly and it's no big deal to me.

It seems too soon to me.........you have to know the person better IMO. If someone said that to me after 2 weeks......I'd feel he wasn't sincere....or just being impulsive, like he was just trying to get me to sleep with him. (or worse.....that he was really needy & falls in love really fast all the time).....

Yep. I know it's an old thread but I'm glad you're not (or didn't announce after 2 weeks) yes it's possible though, for sure.
