In real-life relationships, you spend more time *doing* things together (including having sex). So, discussing these type of 'serious' topics won't come up as quickly as when you're put in a situation when all you're ever doing is *communicating* with each other.
In cultures or religions where sex before marriage is a complete no-no, many people get engaged and married sooner than what's typical in relationships where there is no waiting for sex. I'm not sure that waiting guarantees the success of the relationship, just that it speeds up those 'serious' conversations about future expectations.
Therefore, I believe it's normal the topic of marriage has already come up in your online relationship of 5 months. Just keep in mind that *some* people can be all talk and no action. ;)
Is it normal that he's talking about marriage after 5 months?
