Okay, as far as the marriage thing goes? They'd only been together for 6 months. A marriage ultimatum seems a bit irrational after 6 months of dating. Acting out of anger to do something to hurt the guy after being denied a marriage proposal is childish and pointless. This entire situation is loaded with immature tools acting like immature tools.

stay away from raggedy bitches. seriously, the way the current system works, a guy should think before he has sex with any female: am I willing to support a kid with this person for 18 years? if the answer is anything other than "yes". keep it in your pants or enter through the backdoor

I've done this all my life. It's why I'm the oldest person I know with no children.

You read a little more into my theoretcial than was there.

In that case, "yes" will suffice.

"Acting out of anger to do something to hurt the guy?" Where did you get that?? She wouldn't even tell him how the pregnancy ended. I was in these exact shoes when I got pregnant with my daughter. Her - the impregnator was an immature little git. I only found out at court that I lied to him. Told him he wasn't the father. That's how serious I was about "If you can't propose before I make the big announcement, then ffs do NOT do so after." (I was in a blackout. Yes. I was pickled the entire first trimester while I ran scared from the thought that I was pregnant, again, without benefit of wedlock. Coming out of a pentecostal background has that effect.)

He told the judge at the child support hearing (that the county insisted on) that I told him he wasn't the father. The judge said "Be that as it may, Mr. G., the test results indicate to a degree of 99.989% that you are, in fact, the father." He refused to look at a picture of his daughter, who has his height, blue eyes, nose, chin, and build.

All that is to say - I didn't decide to stay pregnant because of him, or in spite of him. I did what was right for me, when I was ready.

P.S.: Calling her immature when she's only 18 seems rather harsh.

That's a petty move on her part. She got pregnant, wanted a proposal. Leaves for a week or so. All of a sudden the pregnancy has ended. She refuses to explain what happened because she's butt hurt that the guy didn't propose after 6 months of dating.

Not to put this girl into question (and believe me, I already think the guy's a douche), but was the pregnancy ever proven? Or was she trying to get a proposal and thought that was the best way to get one? Either way, both of these people are idiots, they bothed behaved immaturely, and both reacted out of spite. I respect neither of them and victimize neither of them.
