Girlfriend is Pregnant and I feel My Life is Ruined

<p>Hey, if you're like the rest of us poor college students, this is a website you want to remember: Buy</a> Condoms from Condom Man, Best Condoms for Safe Sex - Durex, Trojan Condoms The 100 packs for $20 devastates the price you'll find in a local supermarket or drug store. I've bought from them a few times now, and never had a problem with anything from there.</p>

<p>I'm am so glad that she ended up not being pregnant. I admire you for taking the painful step of ending the relationship, even though you really care about her. I'm sure this will be a stepping stone in your life to think before you act.</p>

<p>"she isn't military wife material" um, you said she is manipulaitve, you think she was trapping you into marriage, you don't trust her and the reason you are breaking up with her is that she isn't military wife material?</p>

<p>If you don't want to be in this postion again, you need to think about what you think is good gf types and you need to trust your gut more and think</p>

<p>Be sure to still take the pregnancy test, my friend got her period for three months after she found out she was pregnant.</p>

<p>Durex FTW.</p>

<p>For future reference.</p>

<p>Quite frankly, the OP doesn't seem like military officer material. I am appalled at his whiny, snively attitude. It takes two to tango and no girl is physically able to get herself in the family way without a male donation, so to speak. He says he is a practicing Catholic yet he is engaging in premarital sex? If he is going to commit the sin of fornication, then compund the sin by using barrier method birth control.</p>

<p>I really am shocked at the OP's initial and subsequent posts. They are extremely self-serving and unbefitting someone who will be commanding troops. I say this as the gf/fiancee of a federal service academy cadet and then as a 2 decade and counting wife of a career military officer. I also am a practicing Roman Catholic.</p>

<p>^ He is a freshman at the Academy. I don't think we should expect him to be a Caesar reincarnated. He actually stood up and took responsibility, unlike many of the older deadbeat dads out there. No 20 year old should be expected to be cool and collective over an issue like this. I know some 30s something who Freaked Out when they got pregnant. I think he is as calm as can be expected from some one his age.</p>

<p>P.S. To Op
Your story has scared me off sex until graduation. LOL. Thanks for the public service.</p>

<p>OP that really sucks... don't get discouraged, though, keep trying and you'll have a kid soon enough.</p>

<p>Yes. True.</p>

<p>Reddune-
I just read your post to my 18 year old D and her only comment was "wow, someone has amazingly low standards."</p>

<p>I just read your comment to my 64 year old dad, and his only comment was, "Wow! That's incredibly ambiguous. I thought my kids have pretty high standard when it come to dating. Protection is always important."</p>

<p>Lesson learned. And you can't expect a freshman, no matter their standards/how they were raised to be calm and collective about a pregnancy!</p>

<p>Something I have said many times...Before you have sex ask yourself "Is this the man/woman I want raising my kid?" If the answer is no, zip up and get out of there or make darn sure you are double protected. You owe it to yourself and to your future child not to repeat a mistake like this ever again.</p>

<p>But, that said, I know the elation you must be feeling and I am happy for you.</p>

That's great news! This should be a good enough reminder to use condoms and birth control every time.

<p>Screw that. Abstinence FTW. After all that NeedsHelp08 has been through, I think it wouldn't be very bright of him at all to even consider having sex again with someone he's not married to.</p>

<p>Or he could wear a condom and nail as many young girls as possible before marriage. Sigh.</p>

<p>Your life isn't over, her's is.</p>

<p>Feel free to continue spreading your seed elsewhere!</p>

<p>Lmao, funny, but that would be so messed up. ^</p>

<p>My sympathies to your situation. From what you have said, you seem to be an extremely responsible individual who is being @#@#@! over for a mistake that someone else made. I guess in your situation, you have to plan everything out financially. It would be a pity to give up your education over this but then if she does have your kid (1. She is actually pregnant 2. The child is actually yours), you will have live up to your responsibility as a father. Make sure she isn't the manipulative type. If she is, I don't think a marriage is beneficial to you. If she isn't, I wish you the best. Hope everything works out in the end. Relax, take a deep breath, and you will always find light at the end of the darkest tunnel.</p>
