I already made it final, I'm not gonna leave her and cut her off from my life. I want to be with her still and I'll make sure that her child will not be my responsibility. Heck she's telling me she wants to do this alone anyway. But I still want to see her and work things out and be there for her. I'm keeping my options open, but she's still my priority and in my mind.MaddenBowler10That's pretty noble of you. I think it's great that you want to be there for her, but I think it's in both your and her best interest if you leave it as just a friendship, starting immediately. Think about it. If you spend the next six months as her boyfriend, your feelings for each other are only going to get stronger and things are only going to get more complicated (if she doesn't decide to push you away first, which it sounds like she very well might). Then what happens when she delivers? How will your feelings for her then affect your decision? Are you really 100% positive you can keep dating her now and just walk away when the baby comes? And believe me, the last thing she needs right now is a relationship. Her life is about to get a thousand times more difficult. Everything she knows and all of her plans for the future about to change. Hell, I would say that about any 18-year-old, but being pregnant at that age? I'm sorry to say it, but you are absolutely the last thing on her mind right now. Don't try to carry on a relationship with her, she has no room for that responsibility right now. I'd also like to make a point about something you said in your original post; you said that you loved her. Again, I'm sorry to say this, but no you don't. You've only been together for 3 months. You can't really love somebody after only 3 months. I'm not saying that your feelings for her aren't real, but what you're feeling right now is just the excitement of being with somebody new, compounded by enormous compassion for a girl who is facing a tremendously difficult situation. See what I mean about complicated? For the record, I'm 24. I'm definitely not the oldest cat in the neighborhood, but I've been around a lot of places and made acquaintances with a lot of people from all walks of life. I've seen this kind of thing happen many times before, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the story ends the same way every time. Keep being the good guy that you are, keep being there for her as a friend, but don't let the situation build any more weight than it already has.
