Long story short my bf lives in Ohio and he wants to come out here to WA. No problem except for the most part Ill be supporting him till he gets a job and paying for the plane ticket. I want another child and he said okay. Well I brought up the whole plan when he gets here because I dont want unexpected expectations. After I ask about work he says "I want to find anything possible to support myself". To me it sounded a little selfish, so I ask "what if I get pregnant?" Then he states then well get married. I lol at him because I'm not getting married because I'm pregnant, Marriage shouldnt be because a woman gets pregnant. Marriage should be because you love that person, work well in a family together, and care deeply about each other. Am I wrong for this. I have a few other reasons to why I dont want immediately but there minor. He hasnt said anything since and its been 15 minutes.

Some ladies have asked if I'm willing to have a child with him why am I not willing to marry him. I want to marry him But it would be nice not to be pregnant during the wedding. Also since I'm not paying for it my parents are we should be able to take the time to plan the wedding and not make more stress to an already stressful pregnancy.

Ah.  Got it.  Sorry you're dealing with that.  :(  

Sounds like this is something you and your BF really need to talk about - and not over a quick phone call.  ;)  I really hope you find peace in whatever decision you make.

I know Ive thought about that too. But I have PCOS and my mom took 5 years to get pregnant. I dont want to wait 5 yrs to get married but I figure two years from now. I'm also looking at a hystroectomy between 28 and 30.


Quoting 081499:

Seems to me the simple solution would be to marry him (since you want to and love him), get settled in with your new life with him, and then have a baby together.  I totally agree - pregnancy AND a wedding is too much!  :)  Just a thought, though...


Quoting Bookoholic:

I want to marry him but I dont want to marry him based on a pregnancy. Pregnancy's are already stressful for me why add a wedding.





Quoting 081499:

Not judging here  - but why do you want to have a child with him, but not marry him?

DH and I werent married when we had DS! I got pregnant 3 months into the relationship. Believe me we heard the "will you get married" question from everyone. We were unmarried and happy for 5 years. We discussed marriage last year and made it official this past March :)

I would be wary of the whole situation. Youre just asking to be a sugar momma.

If your a Christian, you won't have a child out of wedlock.

I think if your plan is to TTC it would be smart to get married first.
