I became pregnant with a family friend by accident and i had a crush on him since forever so i have to say i am happy to be carrying his child. My baby's daddy lets call him Jake ( not his real name). Jake is really smart and nice. He had so many dreams and i feel like i recked that. Anyway he says he wants to get married when i turn 18. He is 17 at the moment and i am 15. He wrote this promise on a piece of paper and gave it to me. (its now pinned on my bedroom wall lol) He is very romantic and understanding and i think he really cares about the unborn baby. He says my decision is what counts. I have loved Jake since as long as i can remember. We grew up together but i not sure that his love towards me and the unborn baby is true or not. I think it might be but i dont know if im only saying that because im in love or if its really true. Based on what i just said what do you think?:kiss:

Oh, and what does your gut feeling tell you?

Oh honey I agree with the pp. You are both still so young I'd say just focus on the baby and enjoy each day as it comes up.

Yep... just wait and see what happens. The baby seems to be a much more important thing to focus on that a marriage which may or may not occur in 3 years time.

:hugs: sounds lovely :hugs: it would be lovely if the two of you can work your way through the challenges ahead and be a family.

:hugs: have you got your family as well to help you out, support you (like emotionally) and girlfriends?

Only he can know if it's true or not if he loves you and time will tell - so maybe focus on yourself and what you need with the pregnancy and baby.

Congratulations. I hope everything works out for you. :hugs:

I hope it all works out for you both :goodvibes:

I just want to add (just so you know), you are under age and what's he's done is called Carnal Knowledge (he's had consentual sex with a minor).

Just so i'm clear on this, I thought that was only the case if there was more than 2 years between them? I don't know for sure, but thought it was for some reason. There's 2 years between the OP and the FOB.

Anyway, I agree you need to focus on now, and I wish you both all the best with everything that happens in the future!

Nope, my hubby had a relationship before me and this is what happened. She was 15 he was 17 and she got preg. Long story but yes...he could easily have been charged with Carnel Knowledge.

That does sound good.

But if there is one thing I've learnt, its that time changes people so much. They grow, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Life is so full of different paths, two unique people coming together in it is a huge thing.

Concentrate on the now, revell in your pregnancy, in the life growing inside of you.
Learn all you can, there is just so much to know.

You will be great. :hugs:

There you go then, I thought the other person had to be more than 2 years older for that to be the case.

She is most likely more than aware of the laws.

I had my first baby at 16.

Some of us just don't follow rules, for one reason or another. :cool:

This is true, but HE needs to be aware incase things go sour.

I doubt he would read the thread. He is probably aware though, I find it hard to believe that any teenager would not know the legal age of sexual consent.
But given his age, the consequences are pretty likely to be minor.
