[QUOTE="harashawn"]A child is a "chunk of cells", I am a "chunk of cells", you are a "chunk of cells", we are all "chunks of cells"; and chunks of human cells for that matter. The difference is that we have experiences and the ability to perceive the universe. It is JUST a chunk of cells and that's it. It has the same potential as the rest of us, and she has already decide to bear the child, so that's not all it will be thankfully,[QUOTE="_en1gma_"] I am actually laughing at you right now. Get off your high horse. I chunk of cells is not a child._en1gma_

Having a child while your future is "bright" does not negate ending the first baby's life FYI. In fact, what defines what's bright? Wealth? Look at the suicide rates of wealthy people. Wealth =/= happiness. If anything, having other kids down the road would ADD to the loss. What's bright? Going to college, pursuing the career and life that will make you happy, being financially stable, etc. Where the hell did wealth come into this? She should have a kid when she is ready for one. Period. If she wasn't ready for a kid, then she shouldn't have had sex. Being a hedonist is not a good replacement for being virtuous, nor does a career, degree, and being financially stable invariably lead to happiness. When she is 40 and has all those things, will she be happy never knowing how her first born will have grown up?[QUOTE="battlefront23"][QUOTE="redstorm72"] Your right, the emotional ramifications of her aborting the child and having a bright future where she can live well and take care of her future children properly will be so much worse than having the child and having to leave school and live the rest of her life in a terrible dead end job wondering what could have been._en1gma_
Indeed. I'm not saying my advice is perfect either, but other users are insisting on you being selfish. Do not listen to them. For you and her's sake, and for the baby's sake.he should be selfish for his sake, after all its in his best interest. and there is no baby yet. He should be empathetic and compassionate not self-serving and egotistical. If he truly loves her, he will stay with her through thick and thin. He's already decide to do thus, and I applaud him for that.[QUOTE="battlefront23"][QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"] The romantic involvement has always been there since the beginning, she still hasn't kicked that out of the question but she could very well be doing that by getting space between me and her in the past few weeks although she has been busy with school. I'm gonna try to talk to her one of these days and get some clearer answers on what she wants out of me instead of just assuming.Thessassin
I'm not even gonna barge in on the child even if he's not there, she already told me she wants to do this alone, I just told her I'll be there to help her when she needs it and that im in full support of her decisions. I just want her to realize that even though things will change, that it doesn't need to affect us in anyway since it isn't our child..even tho it will The fact is that it is not good for the baby to be raised by one parent...especially not by an immature one. The best way you can help her is to bring her to reality and make her realize that getting rid of the baby is the most rational course of action. I think my mother can testify to the contrary, as can many mothers and fathers who've had to raise children alone. You're advice is disgusting, and you are in no position to tell a prospective mother to kill her offspring. I'd really like to know where your experience comes from in this regard.[QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"][QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"] you are sounding like trick. Help if the "father" doesnt want to be there but if he does, you leave. You planning on staying around most likely wont end well, especially if the father wants to take care of the kid. But I guess you will have to wait and see or was this already addressed?_en1gma_
Goodness, man...you need to accept the fact that everything will change once a baby comes into her life. This kind of thought is what caused the pregnancy in the first place. Why do I have to accept that? I KNOW things will change even before the baby is born, but it doesn't mean i should completely give up on her and stuff. I know she isn't going to want a relationship while she has these things to deal with, but she might appreciate that I'm gonna be there for her when she needs the help and that's always good for the future for us. No point in telling her "well ur pregnant with another guy's baby so im gonna have to leave u"[QUOTE="_en1gma_"][QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"] She already said she will not have an abortion and I support her decision, I'm just telling her some things so things will be fine for us and that nothing has to change because of this possibility of a baby.MaddenBowler10
I want to give it a chance, I like this girl a lot and she means a lot to me and has been basically my life for a while now..no point in ditching her cuz her ex got her pregnant
I think you should just have this topic locked. Things of this nature should be kept within your circle of acquaintances, not to be put out there for thousands of people to see. In many circumstances, your family and your friends offer the best advice -- go to them.
