Yup. My girlfriend of only 3 months is 2 months pregnant… and I take full responsibility for it. She and my family have pressured me to marry her, so I proposed and she said yes. She is 26, I am 23. She has a 5yr old daughter from a previous relationship (he has a lot of money). And, after I did the math, she got pregnant 2 weeks after meeting my parents (she found out my family has a lot of money).
I also think marriage is the best thing for me to do since she is pregnant, but I feel like I’m still in the honeymoon phase and I don’t feel like I know her true self yet or that I love her for who she really is.
She’s had a bad history of cheating, which I just found out, and I think she’s having alcohol withdrawals since her pregnancy… but I’ve still caught her drinking wine while pregnant. She loves attention and sometimes I think she loves drama… I don’t think she can live without drama! She’s my complete opposite… I moved in with her after a month of dating and apparently she’s had her ex’s move in that quick as well.
I’m not that big on partying, unlike her, I’ve only had one other long term, serious relationship, and I have never cheated… Plus, she’s always causing drama with her exboyfriend and his new girlfriend.
If I go through with the marriage, do you think it will last and that it will work? Even if I didn’t marry her, I would still take care of my child. But, I really want to marry her because of the pregnancy. I do love her, but I think it’s too soon to know if I’m in-love with her. I don’t want my child to grow up in a broken home and I would really like this marriage to succeed.
I have only recently been informed about her alcoholism, her cheating history, and her love for drama and attention. But I still think she’s a wonderful girl. Is this only because I’ve known her for 3 months and I’m still in the honeymoon stage? Will everything work out? Am I doing the best thing by asking her to marry me???
