none of us thought that. I was on the pill and it still happened which perplexes me.
Alissa,
Several things.
1. Not sure about the laws in NC, but in TX, you cannot get a divorce if the woman is pregnant. It is the law. So, it appears you will have some time to think about things with John.
2. I know it hurts now, but honestly, from what you tell us, you are better off without hubby. He is a boy in man's clothing, emotionally and mentally. He asked for something thinking he wanted it. When he found out it wasn't exactly what he expected, he "tried to take his ball and go home" like a baby (he stopped sleeping with his wife of 1 year. NO man stops sleeping with their wife after 1 year, unless they lived together for the previous 25.).
3. DO NOT jump into a marriage "because of the baby"! That is one of the absolute worst mistakes you can make. Yes, it is VERY important that a baby have both the mom and *******. But the baby is the one who truly ends up losing when you get married just because of the baby or you have a baby to try and save a marriage. The break up is far more painful AFTER the baby is born (legally, financially, mentally, and emotionally) if the marriage does not have a rock solid foundation in mutual love, respect, honesty, trust, and communication. And I guarantee, without those things, a divorce is where the marriage would quickly head.
3. Based on number 1 (and I would check with a lawyer in your state about it to know for sure or look up the divorce laws in your state online), I would enjoy your time with John and get to truly know him better. Take your time (you have it). Yes, the sex is great, but go through a financial crisis together or something like that and you will know how he truly reacts and whether you want to live with this man for the rest of your life.
4. Not trying to be moral here or anything, but John slept with you knowing that you were already married. Yes, you had hubby's permission and encouragement. But he already slept with a married woman, what is to stop him from doing it again, given the opportunity, after you marry him?
5. "The Pill" is not 100% foolproof. Any doctor will tell you that. The only 100% way is abstinence. My ******* became pregnant twice while taking the pill.
I think, for some more unsolicited advice (lol), you need to take some time for yourself and untangle your emotions and your thinking. I think maybe a counselor or a good friend would help you talk things out and straighten things out in your own mind. I think you are doing the right thing by thinking about the baby first. But i think you need to figure out where you want your life to go first and where you see your life with the baby heading.
No matter what happens, I wish you, the baby, and John the best of luck. I will be around if you want to ask me questions and you think I can help. I am sure many others will be too.
