I have a friend (no, really, it's a friend) who has the following predicament:

Friend fell in love with Girl A.

Girl A moved away.

Girl B came along. Friend got Girl B pregnant.

Friend married Girl B because he felt it was the right thing to do.

Friend is still in love with Girl A. Friend has lukewarm feelings for Girl B.

Is he better off following his heart and getting back with Girl A? Or should he stick out his duties as a father and husband with Girl B?

Both girls A and B should run like hell. He is nothing but drama.

He should stick it out. If he didn't want to get married and just did it because it was what he was suppose to do then that marriage is going to fail. There are plenty of couples out there, or I guess people who aren't in a relationship but are still able to to raise a kid together. Was Girl A in love with him too or was this just a one sided thing? And how would she feel now that he has a kid, and an ex-wife. That's baggage.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Right now your friend is in the thick of things, new marriage, new baby(?). He has made a commitment and a family with Girl B. Should he break his marriage vows, break up his family and desert his child for someone he was so smitten with that he went out with the next girl that came along? IMHO, not unless he's a louse. He owes it to both his child and his WIFE to give his new life a fair chance at success.

They're still in love with each other. Aren't they cheating each other (and his wife) by not being together?

Should not have married Girl B, should not chase after Girl A.
Encourage Girl B to give the baby up for adoption. If she won't, he needs to provide support for the baby.

Get over seeking out girls. Someday if/when he's worthy he'll maybe have a woman to share his life with.

If they thought it was meant to be, she shouldn't have moved away, and he shouldn't have gotten married and impregnated Girl B. IDK, to me marriage is serious, you're either all in or you're not. He went in half way and that's a recipe for disaster.

I don't think it's that simple. Sh*t happens. It's like that movie "The Notebook." If Noah had gotten his sidechick preggers, would he have been a jerk for getting back with Ally?

What do you mean **** happens? You just said he got married because he felt it was the right thing to do, which to me tells me he got married just because.
