Imagine dating someone for just three months, and then BOOM! She’s pregnant. You both discussed being pro-choice, but when faced with the reality, she changes her mind and wants to keep the baby. To make matters worse, her traditional parents are pushing for a shotgun wedding to avoid the embarrassment of having a grandchild out of wedlock. But what if you’re not really in love and don’t believe in marriage? That’s the dilemma our hero faces today. Let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster of a story!

Pregnant and Pressured to Marry
Our hero (27M) got his girlfriend (25F) pregnant just three months into dating, even though she was on birth control . They both initially agreed on being pro-choice, but she changed her mind after getting pregnant. Now, her traditional parents are pushing for a wedding before the baby is born to avoid the ‘shame’ of having a grandchild out of wedlock. Our hero, however, isn’t in love and doesn’t believe in marriage due to his family’s history of failed marriages. The girlfriend’s father even offered to buy the ring, pay for the wedding, and give them 100k to get married before the baby arrives – not out of kindness, but to save face. Despite the pressure, our hero stands firm in his decision not to marry his girlfriend just because she’s pregnant. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
