Girlfriend pregnant, everyone pressuring me to get married!!! (by Sparky)
Girlfriend pregnant, everyone pressuring me to get married!!!
Just found out I [24] got my girlfriend [23] pregnant. Luckily I graduated college recently and have a decent job and she has about a year to finish up. Bad timing but I love her more than anything and always planned on marrying/having a kid together so we are rolling with it.
That being said, now that we have found out my family, gfs family, and gf are all pressuring me super hard to get married. Like every hour I?m getting told who I can and can?t have as my groomsmen or that we NEED to get married during fall or winter break before the baby comes.
Maybe it?s my anxiety or something but I feel like all this pressure and rush is impulsive. My main focus is things like getting our vehicles serviced and maintained so we get enough life out of them and looking for high paying jobs to prepare for the baby and everyone is so focused on this superficial nonsense. I feel like it won?t even be special because everyone is hammering down my throat when and where we are getting married before I have even proposed.
TLDR: got my girlfriend pregnant and I?m extremely excited but everyone in my family and her and her family are pressuring me to get married asap. Am I wrong for wanting to take a step back and focus on preparing for the baby? They are planning it as if I have already proposed and it makes me feel weird. Would really appreciate the advice, thanks.
EDIT: Just to clarify my girlfriend is also hounding me not just the families. Her biggest deal is that she ?doesn?t want to be pregnant walking down the aisle? or have the baby born before the wedding. I honesty understand where she is coming from and it isn?t that I don?t want to marry her. It?s more of the fact it is constantly all everyone talks about for example buying dresses for engagement announcements and her parents texting mine about us getting married in France (where my mom is from).
It?s just annoying I feel like I have little control over this whole marriage thing and if I bring it up my girlfriend immediately starts saying ?oh fine well I?ll just not bring it up anymore? and getting really butthurt (maybe it?s the pregnancy hormones?). Like I just want to have a talk about it without it being so emotionally charged. Like it?s so impulsive I?m just focused on being prepared for this kid so I don?t have to rely on our parents and family. Maybe I?m wrong I don?t know.
