Help! 😫

I need opinions here. I’m really stuck and don’t know how to approach this. I have been dating the current guy I’m with for 3.5 months. I know that’s not very long, but the connection we’ve had since day one has been indescribable. After about a month of us dating he unfortunately got involved with a custody battle with his ex and things have been a bit stressful but fingers crossed that will be over in the next couple of weeks. My issue is that i know i am in love with this man. I know people say love at first sight is a bunch of baloney but that’s exactly what i experiences with him. Obviously i wanted to wait a little while before saying i love you as to not be that crazy girl but I’m getting to a point where I’m like bursting to tell him how i feel. I’m just unsure as to whether or not, with what he has going on, if it’s a good time to do it. Not only that i have never told someone “i love you” first. I’ve always been afraid so i just stuck it out. With him it’s different because the love i have for him is like exploding inside of me. I’m not sure if i should wait longer, if i should just tell him, if i should just let it come out when it comes out and hope for the best. I’m really stuck here and don’t know what to do. The last relationship i was in i was in for 7 years, it was very toxic and unhealthy. What I’ve felt in the last 3.5 months with this guy i didn’t feel in 7 years in my last relationship. Any advice would be more than apprecjust aged!
