love is the greatest thing and if he don't have any of it for you then don't do it.

Married couples should also be the very best of friends. Even if it only lasts 10 years, that's great for the kid.
Time to stop being selfish and do what's right for the kid. Thank goodness my dad married my mom when she got knocked up.
They had 45 good years together.
Thanks. Great minds and all....

So...lemme understand the jist of this thread's responses...

Ok to hang out with and sleep with and travel with and be best friends with a guy...until she pregnant...and then they shouldn't do everything they can to provide a stable, loving home?

Huh?

I wouldn't do it, but I don't knock anyone who does it. It's a hard decision.

No wonder kids come from so many fatherless homes and are screwed up. Our grandparents were right that when they made a kid, they did the right thing and tried to take care of the kid

An open marriage is a decent compromise.

^^^^ This.

You two have the foundations for a good marriage: compatability, friendship, respect, and you like each other. These things are more important than gushy, butterflies-in-the-stomach feelings associated with falling in love. That doesn't last for long anyway.

Make a life for yourselves together and give the child a stable, loving home. Don't enter this new chapter of your lives with baby mama/baby daddy complications.
