Um as a child from a home where parents probably should have gotten a divorce I think the key is to just have as many loving people in your life as possible. two parents doesn't necessarily mean a loving happy home.
Lol I love the poor ladies that come in and post without reading at least the last couple posts. Hon she already told him. Btw to the OP I really hope things work out between you two. No child deserves to grow up with one parent. Or going between two homes.
Some children grow up very happily "with one parent or going between two homes." In many instances, it's far healthier than a two parent home filled with resentment and tension. I hope the best for soap, too, but I'm not about to declare what that is. As a child of divorced parents, this comment really rubbed me wrong though I'm sure it wasn't intended. I never felt like I was denied a childhood that I deserved.
Some kids are better off without either of their biological parents. Having a baby =/= good parent and staying together =/= happy family. Two separated happy parents is way better than two miserable ones. I understand that divorce hurts and can be made worse when the parents don't grow up and move past it. But really, faking a relationship "for the kids" is a terrible idea.

Ok...I know I missed the boat of alternative names for genetalia.....I wasn't able to sign on a lot the last few days.... But my mom has been known to talk about a man's "rosy red reproductive rod" which is gross and hilarious all at once! OP- you made the right decision. I haven't read through your newer post, but am hoping you guys can get closure about the paternity before they baby is born. It's a tough situation but I'm glad you told him.
