[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a SMBC, I empathize with your situation and I wish you the best. But kindly, consider that the judgment and misogyny that you fear facing are as internal as they are external. Calling being a single mom “humiliating“ is pretty rich coming from someone knocked up by a boyfriend. As a PP upthread pointed out, if this kind of thinking is your Northstar in life, you’ve got some work to do. And being blunt, I suggest you get on it.

Marrying your guy would be a catastrophic mistake based on what you’ve said, and doing so to keep the neighbors happy is a glaring indictment of your judgment. So being a single mom by choice is your best bet, and while it’s not for the faint of heart, humiliating is the last word that I would use to describe it. I wish you luck. [/quote]

I dont think there's anything wrong with OP recognizing the stigma that single moms often *do* face in our society, nor venting about her own fears as she realizes, one way or another, she's going to become one. There seem to be a number of very reactionary, somewhat triggered single moms in this thread, who, instead of offering empathy and support, seem to be personally offended by the OP's dilemma, rather than finding solidarity. It's very bizarre behavior. [/quote]
