Baby Daddy Trouble
My boyfriend and I just broke up yesterday because of his childish ways and him following in his dumb brothers foot steps! We were suppose to move in together and get married right after I turned eighteen! At this point he still wants to move in together but I'm not sure if he wants to work it out! He knows about the baby and knows that I'm serious about this, but he just can't seem to grow up! I'm really scared that I might have to go through this alone!

Now this boyfriend wants to move in together, after never living on his own before, and get married shortly after. While I do love him, and definitely am considering spending the rest of my life with him, I am just not ready to do so, and know for a fact he is not either. It causes fights that end with us not speaking to each other days and sometimes a week or more at a time. This baby was obviously not planned but a surprise, and sometimes I hope it makes him grow up fast enough to learn what he needs to learn so we can move out and get married. But I realize that it wont necessarily, and until then luckily have the support of my parents and a place to raise the baby.
I guess what I'm saying is first give him a CHANCE to grow up. Yes a baby is a huge life change and you will both change a lot through it. But you aren't even 18 yet, there is no reason to rush into doing such things yet. You don't have to get married just for a baby, regardless of how long you've been together, you are both still VERY young and BOTH have a lot of growing up and learning to do. We have age limits for reasons, at 18 you may legally be an adult, but trust me (and every other parent who says it to you!) you are not grown up fully yet.
A baby will do a lot to mature the two of you, maybe that's what you need before you make the decision to spend the rest of your lives together.
So stressful. And sometimes I wonder what did I get myself into but im staying strong.
