I would keep the baby. I'm not financially ready but I don't think I could deal with the guilt of having an abortion. I'm afraid if I was pregnant, I wouldn't be able to afford the materials to raise said child.
I looked in the dictionary and..
Single means unmarried or not involved in a stable sexual relationship...
So if I live with my partner (boyfriend), we have a stable and sexual relationship but we are not married; we are still not single..
But to answer the question if I would get pregnant unplanned now there would be no problem because we are in a stable relationship, share finances and have the room for it in our lives and our house.
But if I got pregnant from someone I just started out with I would have a serious conversation of how to proceed and maybe even consider abortion.
That is pretty much what I was thinking, you wouldn't be Single if you had a girlfriend -_-
The confusion coms from this: legaly you are a single person household if your boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't live with you and/or you are not married; therefore you are not financialy tied to eachother wich is a form of being single but only in leagal/financial terms. But in social terms you are single if you do not have romantic relationship with someone. And since most of us work with social terms and not legal terms there is a confusion.
The long standing meaning of "single" is not married. Young people who are in relationships want to say that they are not single, so they have changed the meaning of the word (just as they have perverted the word "random") but the established definition is "not married." My update explains that I am using the word in that sense, as should be obvious from the options I provided.
The longstanding meaning of single depends on social connotations, upbringing and place of residence. My grandparents where not considered single when they where boyfriend/girlfriend. They where what they then called "betrothed". Wich is not single but also not married.
The thing is that a betrothal doesn't happen often because it is to formal and marriage is also in decline. But people still have lifelong romantic relationships, so we now have the word single for people that dont have those relationships (be it married, betrothed or in any other form of relationship where you actively try to stay together).
The case is that we just don't have a word for people in a relationship without marriage besides that they are boyfriend and girlfriend. But the absence of a word to express that relationship doesn't make the word single the default for those people.
Also:
The word single in essence means one (1) of the subject.
So 2 people who are spending their lives together are not single, they are duo (2).
Oh and, language is fluctuating because society is. So obviously the meaning of words change. We don't speak of THOU (you) anymore either. 🤷🏼♀️
I love how well you add all your information into your replies and answers :) not only because it gives more credibility but also because the way you wrote it, the moment I started reading I just wanted to keep reading the rest to see what else you had to say on the subject, it was really well made! ^_^
First of all, we are very careful to not get her pregnant. But, if she did get pregnant I would marry her and be the father the child deserves. One of the biggest problems in society today is fatherless children, and both men and women are equally to blame for that. There is no way I would contribute to that problem. My childr4en, and society, deserve better than that.
I'm saving for marriage so I have no idea how that is even possible. But in case shit happens we'll just marry.
I'm honest upfront when dating that I don't want kids ever. I was even sterilized to avoid any accidents. There's no scenario where I would be willing to become a parent
I'd keep the child and discuss the future with the baby's father. I wouldn't force marriage, and wouldn't force him to stay either.
I would be very confused...
Same here.
Why would you be confused?
1. Don’t have a girlfriend
2. I’m a Christian dude so when I get a girlfriend she will know that.
What are you doing don't move you might get none confused
@yofuknutz now I’m more confused
^^^hahahahahaha at least you're honest I give you credit for that.
@yofuknutz that was code for what did that mean.
You have to break the code then just like table manners for a replicator how do you do that how does it work in your country and how would it work in my country these are the questions I compoundaily so forget me like I don't have time for your silly cold breaking exercises

@yofuknutz I’m writing this off as crazy talk because it make 0 sense.
@yofuknutz 1. I’m not a feminist
2. I don’t worship idols
3. I was just trying to figure out what you were saying so could you please explain it to me.
You're still here I'm going back to sleep
Don't want a child, so i'd strongly advise she gets an abortion, if she doesn't want it. As harsh as it would sound i'd seriously contemplate just leaving. I don't want a kid and i take every action i can (Barring a vasectomy) to reduce the risk of pregnancy
Why not have the vasectomy if you don't want a child?
Because last I checked there's 20% chance that there will be post-operative post genital pain especially ejaculation Department hey that's not so good
@yofuknutz Thanks, but the question was not directed to you.
He'd marry me.
Fortunately, I was already married when I got pregnant. But it could have happened.
I haven't seen you on here recently. Have I just been unlucky or did you disappear for awhile?
Definitely have the baby and raise it together, that’s something precious that is yours now, a blessing.
I would abort it.
In the beginning of every relationship that I make with any man I make it clear that if they leave me pregnant I will most likely abort it.
And to be honest if anyone proposed to me because I'm pregnant I would turn them down.
If that happened, I would be 100% certain that it's not mine. So good luck to her going forward I guess.
I would want to live with him and raise the child, but marriage seems unnecessary. Maybe I would get married, but it depends
Well, there would be a conversation and we'd go from there. The marriage thing seems to be cultural and aside from the symbolics and a bit of jewellery I don't see the point, but I'm not meant to understand everything..
I would look to get married with her and raise a family
I think you're the coolest guy on here.
Wow thank you so much what an honor I’m very appreciative here and humble about what you just said. 😊

👍🏻
I have two kids already and don’t want any more so 😬 my body cannot handle another pregnancy
I'd suggest that we move in together, but not get married.
have babby, commit and work together. would be my only child, they'd get my all.
I would want to go to the doctors and make sure it's all in great shape, good health
I would be happy, but not even a fraction of it how happy she would be. A girl who had ovarian cancer with 13 has very low chances to get pregnant with one damaged ovary.
