Whats going on? Why do you have to choose? I was in a situation where I waited on a guy (my soon to be ex-husband) while he was in school, I supported him and waited for better times. Those times never came, he walked out on me after he got his degree. Sometimes waiting is a bad idea. But I can't comment on your problem unless I know some details.

well the situation goes like this...we are going steady for 4years now and then we've planned the house,family and the much waited wedding.we have finally agreed on the year that is after his elder sisters wedding. the twist came when i got pregnant, my family is very conservative though they have accepted my fiance' they wont accept our decision to wait after the wedding of his elder sister that is 1year to date of the wedding. and then after a few months his mom got diagnosed cervical cancer stage3 which makes matters worse. my parents insists on the first wedding since im pregnant...we have come up with the aggreement of a civil wedding to make my family settle..and then his family wont settle for the civil wedding which we both agreed upon.(they wanted a church wedding) but that is after her elder sister wedding. to make it much shorter we got into lot of pressure since we want a both family support on our union and not the other way around. we fought and broken up...and then he came back but he asked me to wait for him now the waiting part is no more promises just pure wait on him...no fixed things like before.

The first I would say, is don't let your families pressure you into anything. My family was like that and they pressured me into getting married and the result of that is now I am getting a divorce. Your families don't have to live with either of you or raise your child. You do what is best for you. It also seems to me he has abandoned you, so I wouldn't wait for him. If he was a responsible man he wouldn't have left you like that. But on the other hand, if you two want to get married, go get married. Get the civil wedding now, and have the big wedding later. That would make everyone happy, no one says you can't say your vows twice. But if you aren't happy with him and don't want to marry him then don't. Good Luck and I hope everything turns out well for you.

Does he love you, too? If so then the decision is an easy one...you choose to be with the father of your child and to raise that child together. I'm sure it's not as simple as that but the best thing for any child is to have both parents there.

I think in your situation, it is very hard to wait. I been there waiting for the right person, and it did take time to complete my waiting. I think if it was meant really for you it will make a way, but sometimes waiting also is wasted time. Have a nice day to you!

if what you feel for him is true then fight for it..i don't know the exact situation but i strongly feel you are on the same situation i had been...all i can say is do what your heart and mind tells you, after all, do what makes it better for the baby..
