[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather have the struggles of being a single parent then be stuck co-parenting with an a****** for the next 18 years.....[/quote]

OP this is just not an option for me. I lack the finances, organizational ability, or emotional resources and support to have a baby on my own. It’s marriage or childlessness for me.[/quote]

OP - so you are planning on being 100% reliant on the marriage in order to have kids?  SAHM?  Is your fiancee really bringing emotional support to the table?  ready to be the breadwinner?  Do you have the ability, desire, emotional wherewithal to be a parent, SAHM/W?  It is hard to understand this when you are not in the midst of it - but being married and being a parent means EVERY DAY.  This is not just one decision - it means that this is the person you have to DEAL with every day.  And then with a kid (or more) - you have to tend to them and manage parenting ON TOP of communicating with your DH / co-parent.  Please do not underestimate the stress of this especially is you are feeling stresses right now.

OP I don’t really get this comment. Wanting to be married to raise children does not = 100% reliant on spouse for every need. I work and would keep working and would bring about 30% of HHI to the table, and yes he earns about to support the family alone. But he also doesn’t want a SAHW/M anyway.[/quote]
