no i didnt. the man who got me pregnant is already married to someone else and have his own family. the situation was too complicated so i bailed out of the relationship even if i was already pregnant. its much easier that way coz i realized he would never meet the responsibilities of being a father to my baby. i dont want him disappearing then appearing as my baby is growing up.

I did marry the man that got me pregnant. no second thoughts about it. Although you might think that I just agreed to marry him because of the baby., But it isn't. We already had plans of getting married but not right the moment we found out that I'm pregnant. We just don't know what hit us but on a holiday, we just decided to get married anyway. So we had our parents as our testifiers.

it is not a great start for a marriage..i did this too and had another child 13 months later but the marriage tourned sour..i had a step daughter..and i was so poor and worked two jobs..but there is life after divorce...it takes a lot of living to make a marriage..with baby's it is ok..but when they start growing up then the trouble starts..a lot of responsiblilities on everybody...good luck..men sometimes change their feelings after they become a father..so do moms..so don't take anything for granted..people change and its not always for the good

If he is worth marrying, why not? but if he isn't why should I? There are choices, decisions to make and have all the options spread out. Weighing the situation could help out.

Why not if he is the one that you love and intend to get married to? Never get married to the wrong person even when you get pregnant for him if later you find he is not a caring one to you. Mr. Right is the source of happy marriage.

Ofcourse just if I love him. Marrying a man that you don't love is a hard decision or you might regret someday especially when you got pregnant. Being pregnant doesn't mean that you must marry the man who brought you to that situation. But if you both love each other, why not since the father of the child will be the one that you love.

For me i dont want to get married just because i got pregnant. Its not the reason for me to get married. I must love the guy so much to be ready to get married.

I did that a very long time. We were both 19 and it lasted about 10 years before we split up. I think getting married that young was the problem. We both in different directions.

Do you have any other choice, unless of course you want to label your child with an unpleasant name for the rest of his life.

I think it would depend on circumstances. The father of my first was an acid-head. He told me if I got rid of the baby, he'd marry me. If I got rid of the baby, why would I WANT to marry him? Don't get married for the sake of the baby. There are other ways to raise a child than getting stuck in a relationship that doesn't start from love.

Not for only the mere reason of "He got me pregnant".... I can't tell someone what I think they should do in that situation though... Only the hearts of the people involved will truly know..

It would depend on the circumstances in which i got pregnant. if it was wihout my consent, if it was without there being genuine love between the two, then the answer is obviously a big NO. Otherwise the sooner I married the man the better.

I've encountered this question a lot of times already. Most of my friends ended up marrying the guy who got them pregnant. Since it has been happening an awful lot, I thought of how I would handle this kind of situation. And honestly, I would never know until it happens. I would marry the guy if the pregnancy was part of our plans. If getting married and raising a family would be a reality in a few years, then I guess, I won't hesitate to marry him. The baby just came before the marriage, and that's where we're headed anyway. But if the pregnancy was just an accident, and getting married was never talked about, then I won't be marrying him. I wouldn't want to commit anymore mistakes other than an unwanted pregnancy. If I force the situation and end up marrying the guy, there's a big possibility that things won't work out. We'd end up divorcing each other. So until this happens to me, my answer would never be final.
