From what I understand, you're young and a pizza delivery driver....

I would assume your parents are going to be helping you through this difficult time. If this is the case, then you do what they want...especially when its something small (relatively) like getting married.

I figure they're going to be taking care of some of the bills, and they dont want to introduce you to people as "my son and his girlfriend with their baby"

fuck that, it's embarassing. Get married and start worrying about bigger things.

And on top of that, the longer you wait to get married, the sooner your child is going to find out he was born out of wedlock.

As it stands now, he might not find out until he's in his teens unless she's obviously prego in the wedding pics.

The kid will find out at somepoint that he/she was born outside of marriage, its how he/she finds out and what Bob decides to do with this information thats important and how he presents it.

I wouldn't marry because of a child, the child won't care either way if you guys tough it out and hold off marrying for a few more years. As long as the kid is raised by both of you in a pleasant environment that's all that matters.

Seriously dude, that's a warped way of looking at your responsibilities and life.

im sure personal experiences have shaped our views on this matter and while i commend you for being a "man" and owning up to your responsibilities....... im sure you acknowledge the fact there are many unhappily married couples out there that got married in the first place for the children and not because they are in love and soul mates etc etc.

if it was an unplanned pregnancy and the couple is not sure about wanting to be together..... abortion is a good option if early enough in the pregnancy, if she is having it, then be there for the child and the mother. but being there doesnt necasarily include marriage thats all im saying.

i personally would not want to ever be in a the position to have to man up, and if i was i would man up but that is why i am careful with women and sex so i never have to make that decision....again

...... i was dating/living with a woman who i figured out i couldnt stand after three months and right at that time she got pregnant, she aborted, now a year later we laugh at how miserable we would have been and how miserable we were. she is now happily married and pregnant and having it living her dreams we are great friends now.

You don't think its kinda weak to terminate a life you created through the life you lead and your actions?

"kinda weak" is your logic? not against god or something with any value, just "kinda weak"


it think its kinda stupid to use kinda weak as an argument to bring a child into the world that will be raised by two people who have no business being together much less raising a child.


its amazing to me it takes a license to drive get a handgun catch a fish even yet any two morons with functioning equipment can make people

no to answer your question, apologize in advance for sarcasm

Well I have much stronger terms for what I think of the actions in question, but I didn't think it necessary to use them here and it would take away from the subject at hand.

At least your conscience is clear, that is all that matters nowadays.

Don't get married because of a kid. Only get married to her if you are really in love.

I grew up in a broken home and I've been around lots of people who either got married because of kids or were afraid to divorce because of kids. I think it screws up the kids even more when their parents don't get along and are forced to live with eachother. There's nothing wrong with not getting married as long as you man up and be a good father.
