There is absolutely no way to "trap" a man into having a baby. Unless he was drugged or raped. He willingly had sex. And sex causes babies periods. 100% if he is a real man he will step up to the plate and be there for the woman he got pregnant. If not hes plain scum. Period.

I'm asking because a very good friend of mine had this very thing happen and now he's saying he's going to stay with her for the baby's sake, which I think is insane. They weren't even together when she got pregnant. He had moved out of state and she went to visit him with a few friends. So now he's moving back to be with her, when he's clearly said he doesn't love her, he's just doing it for the baby. I just think he can still take care of the baby, but not "be" with her. What are your opinions??
You play, you pay.

It's like I tell my sons: Don't ever have sex with a woman that you don't really, really like. Because if you knock her up, you might be having a 20-year relationship whether you want to or not.

I believe that if a man gets a woman pregnant he needs to assume the responsibility for his actions, if you were having sex then obviously there were feelings there for the girl and the guy knew it. Whether the guy loved her or not, being a guy myself, he should 100% marry the girl and man up! Men who don't are pathetic and are boys. We all take the risk -- why should a woman have to endure suffering and hardship as a single mother while we are living our lives unaffected! Call me old school but my father raised me right. I got my girlfriend pregnant while in college and we found out after I gd broken up with her because I didn't feel in love. I manned up but regret how immature I was about it and feel ashamed how much I made her suffer. I know two years later am completely in love with this strong woman who never gave up on me and has been nothing but a wonderful woman. Sure my life plans changed and I was a selfish idiot at first but now I cannot imagine my life any different. Bottom line: man up and if anyone tells you different then they are selfish *******s not thinking about your child or the woman who trusted you

Glad things worked out for you and you fell in love with the mother of your child.

Experts say the best thing any man can ever do for his child is to love its mother

Stop having sex with people you don't love. With that said, I think it's responsible to try to build a life with the woman carrying their child in her womb, if even out of respect and honor for the woman who's going to be his child's mother. It's a selfless and honorable thing for a man to do. Many men are just neither and won't meet the expectation.

I think you should ask your friend why did he have unprotected sex with a woman he had no intention in having a relationship with. Its not just the fact that now she is pregnant but did he even considered sexually transmitted diseases. Calling the situation "trapped" says you believe this situation is all her doing where I come from it
takes two to tango. That is unless she lied to him about taking birth control pills, he trapped himself. I think its very sad that people don't think about what they are doing such as bringing a new life into the world.

Takes two to tango. B/C is the responsibility of BOTH, not just the female.
