I’m one of those women who would have loved for my unexpected pregnancy to have been looked at as a “happy accident”. When I got pregnant at age 41 after knowing this great guy for only 3 months,I got encouraged to have an abortion, but he still pretty much maintained the status quo of our friendship for 4 1/2 more months before he dumped me cold turkey after I pressed him for a commitment (he had been up and down emotionally and I wanted him to stabilize for both of our sakes–bad move, I know). So, I didn’t lay eyes on him for the last half of my pregnancy and spoke with him very little. We had a happy outcome. He fell in love with his daughter and we have a good co-parenting relationship, which I am thankful for–although I’d really like MORE. I really felt cared for by him before the pregnancy (he gave me lots of time and attention and took me on great dates and we had great conversation and “fun” and he even told me he cared a lot for me), though he didn’t see me as having wife potential for him (wasn’t ready to marry a divorced, older woman with kids), but if the pregnancy had inspired him to “make an honest woman out of me”, I would have been grateful. Maybe the same thoughts as you have would have crossed my mind, but I don’t think I would have dwelled on them.

The reason should be so easy, He is a great guy and your a great woman. People are so hung up on looks, money, education when it comes to marriage. But what happen to the reason “I just Love you enough to ask”! I have great times with you! I love you just because! You have a great personaility, smile, laugh, and you are in my thoughts everyday! What happen to the way we love one another, is it gone?

Today, unlike in bygone days, just because you’ve either gotten pregnant or made someone thus doesn’t mean you should marry that person. Couples who marry for that reason tend not to think about compatibility regarding money, religion, child-rearing, etc, & thus tend to get divorced sooner or later.
