I typically would never advise anyone to get married simply because you got the girl pregnant. That in itself is not a good reason. But given the fact that you two have been best friends for three years, dating for 6 months and love one another, I'd say you have the perfect foundation to take it a step further and consider marriage. You've decribed everything a person could want in a spouse...best friend, love, and respect. It's a huge step, but so is parenthood, and if you love one another and are truly friends, you owe it to your child to provide him/her with a loving household that consists of a full time mommy and daddy.
One thing you can anticipate, having a child will change things, however, if you truly love one another then you will face those challenges together as a team and love your child unconditionally as most parents do. Based on what you've shared, I'd say go for it!
I think it's better to never impregnate someone you couldn't stand to touch with a ten-foot pole for the next 20 years.
It's better to only get a girl you could see marrying pregnant and then it's not such an issue. I suppose the Maury Povich show need not worry about finding subjects for the paternity shows.
It's one thing for a baby to be conceived a little early ahead of the wedding day and someone using a woman simply for sexual release and she and the child are to be discarded.
Don't propose! Jeesh- that is a bad idea. I would never want to be that girl who the guy only propsed because I was pregnant with his kid. Continue to date, monogamously, talk about moving in and keep things on track. But damn, just because she is carrying your child doesn't mean you need to get on your knee so fast.
My girlfriend just told me that she's 6 weeks pregnant.
Should i propose to her ?
I have doubts because marriage is a huge step and divorce isn't something i want
We've been best friends for 3 years and started dating about 6 months ago
I love her and it's been really amazing but marriage is a huge step
If you were me ,what would you do ?
no, you shouldn't. I did that very thing, got pregnant, got married had two more kids, and then got divorced. We fought and were miserable the entire time. marriage isn't a solution to all your problems, you should marry cause you want to not have to.
Out of curiosity was the pregnancy on the heels of you guys taking a break? Did she claim she couldn't get pregnant, or perhaps said she was on the pill?
Regardless, make it clear that you'll have to get a paternity test. If the above holds true then there's a good chance in a few weeks she'll claim she had a miscarriage or was mistaken. If she's for real and it's a genuine pregnancy with no ulterior motives then good luck. Do NOT just get married out of some warped sense of obligation.
This really aggrivates me...how, does a person get pregnant in this day and age???????
I realize there are cases where people do...but you hear this so much and I just cannot believe people take this kind of a chance...unless of couse, they do it on purpose, cuz they want to be taken care of?
well, it's like this
there's a man, and a woman........................................
