I am worried that my boyfriend won't understand my situation. My sister just left me leaving her baby with me. Which means i need to take care of the baby by myself. I might spend some money and time for the baby. I am worried that my boyfriend might be jealous and leave me too. I am too scared to lose him.

Tess_quinain, I would tell you like this! relationship is more responsibility to carry on. When you got this situation then he want to leave you alone.. well, want you gonna feel for this love? That's it, he leave you! I would be happy if I am in your situation than my bf leave me because I have too much thing to take care... So, I know what is he look like for my future if I am marry with him. I will so much happy to know him before I marry with him in the future! Be happy friend, a baby need you!

see if doesn't understands your problem than what type of boyfriend he is . i think so he will understand your problem if he really loves you only ? if he want to ignore you he will start fighting with you and i think if he does this thing you must leave him because it may cause problem in your future .

Are you saying your sister abandonded you and her child? You bf if he is worth having should be understanding of your situation. He should put himselve in your position.

I don't think that is a big deal to jealous. I hope he understand you with that responsibility because that is really good things. Do not be scared because if your boyfriend really loves you. He should understand you and being jealous about it

talk him. let him understand your situation. if he really loves you and could understand what you're going through then you are lucky and blessed to have such a partner. but if he leaves you knowing that you have a responsibility and a life to take care of, then he's not worth it...

if your from a give and take relationship then this questions wouldn't matter because your love is rooted from understanding and committing ones trust to each other. so no worries talk to him and let him understand your situation eventually he will learn what's the main effect would be it for you and for him.. think of this (having a kid) as an early practice of having a family of your own.

Much as you love him, this is a real test for him. If he really loves you, then this situation should not matter to him. You can both sit down together and talk over it. My prayers are there for you that all goes well. Trust in God, ask Him and he will definitely show you the right way.

hi tess if he does not understand your feelings about this situation a nd your need to have your sister with you, and your concern about your baby niece then he is not the man for you. I am sure he loves you and sees the strain you have been under and will understand.He will understand if he cares enough about you and your happiness.Why should he be jealous of a tiny baby girl for God's sakes. that wakes me up, take it to God and pray that the boy you love will have that much love back for you.

I am very sorry your sister did that to you and to her baby. I can not imagine a man who is mature leaving you over something like this or being jealous of a baby. If leaves you over this then he is not the right man for you after all. If he loves you he will stand by you and help you through this. If he leaves you then you will know he is not the man for you and you should move on to a more mature man who will be compassionate and loving. If he leaves he is a selfish and immature man and does not love you enough to stick with you through the wors times. This is not a man you should want to be with.

If he gets jealous and leaves you maybe he isn't the one for you. And if he doesn't understand then that is just too bad. Maybe you should have discussed it all with him before taking on this added responsibility. But you will learn how he would be as a father and just how self involved he is and needy.

It depends on the type of person your boyfriend is. If his love to you is unconditional then he'll stay with and ease the burden a little. Another factor is his maturity, even if he's understanding but is not matured enough to handle the situation you are in then he could lose his patience. There would no problem if it's just a matter of weeks or maybe a month but if it's for good then you'd better start praying that what you have is a good man.

You sound like you're a lot braver than you give yourself credit for. You're trying to take care of a child that isn't yours because you're unselfish and responsible. If your boyfriend isn't willing to support you and help out, I say good riddance to him. You don't need someone that selfish in your life. In my opinion, you need someone who is as unselfish and understanding as you are.

If he really loves and cares for you he will understand. You can even take care of the bay together, it can be fun. And also, you have your responsibilities not only as a girlfriend, but also as a sister and an aunt. Good luck, and don't worry everything will end well.

You should talk to your boyfriend about this issues. If he leaves because of jealousy, he is not worthy of you. If he stays, please do not neglect him. DO spend time with him, I mean just the TWO of you. No matter how good is a person, a relationship will drift apart if you do not have good quality time just for the two of you. Get your relative or nanny to look after the baby and both of you go out and enjoy occasionally. Good luck!

This may not be what you want to hear, but if he leaves you because of this, he isn't worthy of you. But if you explain that you have more on your plate now than you can handle, maybe he'll understand. You could reassure him that you still want to be with him, but you now have a greater responsibility.

You need to be honest with your boyfriend and explained to him your present circumstances to make him understand your problems. If he loves you, I don't see why he should chicken out. But you have your future to lead, why should you burden yourself to babysit for your sister.

If he wouldn't understand, do you think you should still consider him in your future? First, it could mean that he does not love you enough to accept all of you - your niece is a part of you, a part of your life. Second, it could also mean that he does not have compassion enough for your niece. Don't be scared to lose him. There may be some other guy there who will be more understanding. Your niece is the only one in the world. And, can you bear giving her up just because of some guy?

He should understand if he's serious and loves you. Even he would help you with any kind of efforts. If he didn't understand, you'd better leave him not he leaves you

If he dosen't understand you and your situation, he just not worth it. And I think the best way to tell him is face to face. And I also think that family comes first and I think that your boyfriend will understand that. You and your boyfriend could also take care of the baby together, that would also be fun. So you can learn how to take care of a baby, and you can see how your boyfriend behaving in front of a baby.
