Babies on the Brain

Brother's "baby"...

My brother just told me his girlfriend of 2 months is pregnant with another guy's baby (she had sex with him before she met my brother). My brother told her he'd stick around and help raise the baby, but they've only been dating for 2 months (if that). I'm just worried that he's going to get emotionally invested and then she'll just forget about him, plus, I think it's too soon for him to be getting involved like this. She hasn't told the actual father, and my brother said she isn't going to.

They got together before she knew she was pregnant (or so she says), so I don't think she wanted him just for money (my brother says she's loaded anyway).

Any thoughts? Any advice on what I should say? I'm not happy for him; he hardly knows this girl.

  • I see red flags everywhere here.  This relationship is waaay to new for him to be already thinking about raising another mans baby.  And why wont she be telling the father?  I hope it works out ok for him.....

  • I totally understand your concerns, but assuming all parties involved are adults, I would stay out of it unless your bro specifically asks you for advice.

  • How old is your brother? 

    If he is an adult, makes his own money, and is emotionally mature, then just trust his judgement. Sure, it could get messy. It could also be a great choice for him. 2 Months seems very short to me seeing as I lived

  • That EXACT situation happened to my cousin, except she was the pregnant one. She had broken up with the dad, and got with her BF then found out she was 3 months pregnant after about 2 months of dating. Rough.

    It's been a year and a half, and he
