My life is crazy

Okay, so I am 21 and 4 months pregnant by a man that loves me more than anything (and I love him very much also). Since i got pregnant our families want us to get married, and so does he. I'm not ready to get married and the thought of it makes me nauseated. I don't want to get hitched just because I'm pregnant, I want to do it when I know for a fact that we will last together until death do us part. Am I crazy for not wanting to get married now instead of a few years down the road?

Is It Normal?

  • Nothing can break a marriage faster than a crying baby, so don't get married until you get through the rocky patch that on it's way! You will be hormonal and feel trapped in the house with the baby. You won't want to go out for meals or go socialising coz you'll be so tired.......

    Oh, it's awful, that's why I only had the one. He's now 14 and I'm only getting my life back now. He was always crying, so none of our families wanted to babysit.

    You are very young to get saddled with a baby, and a husband. Wait until you can make a rational decision about marriage. It's not your parents that are gona be stuck with your husband for the next 50 years!!!!

    Don't do it love!!!

  • This is totally normal. I'm worried about getting married to because alot of the marriages I've been around have always failed. My best advice is to tell ur boyfriend how you feel and tell him you want to wait. Maybe move in together (if you already are, great!) and have this baby. If you feel that your relationship is still strong and you are confident enough then go for it. Best of luck!

  • I think you just want marriage and your pregnancy/new family to be separate matters and to be respected as such. Let the rest of the family & your special guy know that, but be kind because they sound well intentioned.

  • You're not crazy at all! The worst thing you can do is rush into something when you're not ready, especially a marriage. Take it from me. You need to live YOUR life, not your family's. And tell them you wanna wait until after you have the baby, so you can fit int a nice dress :) Don't worry, I'm not saying you're fat or anything (pregnancy is BEAUTIFUL and I love baby bellies), but like most girls you probably have something in mind, and you want it to be perfect. Plus it's not easy for fittings when your belly is growing every day! Good luck to you :)

  • Absolutely not crazy. You have a right to your own opinion, and if you are not ready, you need to tell those trying to convince you otherwise. If your boyfriend really does love you, he will respect your decision. It doesn't matter what other people try to convince you of, in the end, if you are not ready, then you will not be happy.

    Good luck with your life :)

  • um no! I don't think your crazy. It's quite normal. The thought of marriage just freaks me out too.
