Seriously though. I know this is going to sound like hate but I’m much older and want to see love grow. You say you’re a baby or his baby? Aren’t you about to be a mom? Just TRY to think before you react.
It can’t be rules for each other; must apply to both. Mary? You can’t let him look at a female yet you admitted to unplugging and lying to him while you are out with male friends. I think it’s great to have opposite sex friends. He deserves the same.
How you laugh when he says you can be toxic! That’s not funny in any way shape or form. Not even as a joke.
I realize both of you have to learn to deal with cultural differences; however, again, rules work both ways. From day one, every child you bring into this world is going to look at everything and every behavior on both of you. The fact you are financially strapped yet intentionally got pregnant is nothing but selfish. You think just because you’re the parent, that you get unconditional love. Not how it works. In your culture, Mary, you have strong family ethics. Sadly he comes from a dysfunctional family situation. You are an asset in that regard. But Branden, you playing video games and living a hundred years ago where the woman does all the work? You are setting back 100 years.
You both have a lot of growing up to do. Odds are against you making it. I’m praying you do but you both have to listen to each other, compromise, and grow together. Shock the world! You can do it.
Wait. What? They had their child ad expecting another one? Omg!
