Quote From: judeelynnWow,
This is as bad as “trying to do the right thing” and marry someone because they become pregnant, which I guess is honorable thinking but logically how can you base a relationship on an unborn child or that being the foundation of the relationship.
Example; OMG your pregnant…..ok well let’s get married….. I feel for the men and women on this show regarding this matter but mostly I feel for the children, and the price they are paying in the long run for their parents choices.
But being married already and being deceitful, trying to keep someone through a baby, I don’t really understand this,your married already!
I am not trying to be cold about it just trying to think of the logic, trying to understand this.
How does a person think they can hold another person through a child? You are the Childs parent married or not…Being a real parent has noting to do with a marriage license…they can still carry your last name too…if that would be a worry, one thing you can never change is biology….married or not…if you’re a parent be a parent to your child and be a great parent…!
And please tell me why would a woman want a man to marry her because she is pregnant? I am not judging; this has happened in my family and to friends many times through the years and I still fail to understand the logic in this and none of the relationships to date have lasted and the children have paid the price of their bitterness, and that breaks my heart!
I personally would not want to be wondering my whole life or married life it that person married me because they were truly in love with me or if they married me because I was pregnant and trying to make it work, would they not constantly have that in the back of their mind, how could they not, I certainly would.
What are the statistics on a pregnancy being the foundation of the marriage taking place to begin with and it lasting?

I think they suck either way something like half of all marriages end in divorce.
When I was in college we looked at birth and marriage records and found that 50% of all first babies born in the 1950s were born less then 8 months after the marriage.
Back then it was not a choice as it is now. It would be interesting to see how that stat has changed.
