I admire your concern for your friend but please don't feel so stressed about it. Getting married isn't a sure way to happiness. Domestic partnership is the best choice in her situation. It's expensive to get married, so does getting a divorce. Not only a financial burden but also more on an emotional strain. They should live together and raise their own family, face whatever issues they have. Time can only tell if their relationship will work or not. We can only pray that everything will be for the good of the baby.
I agree with the above comments. Though some might find the idea of domestic partnership a little taboo, I still believe that it does help in testing the waters first before jumping something huge like a marriage itself.
Marriage isn't something that your friend could easily dump if something turns out not right. But if she and her guy feel that they could face whatever challenges that would come along their way with strength and patience, then I guess they are on the right path. As for me, give it a year or two before tying the knot. Very expensive to get married and the same goes in filing for a divorce!

Exactly! Unless of course you're a type of couple who has the funds and all, then it wouldn't be an issue. But the financial hassle isn't only the issue. It's how the kid/s get affected by the separation and the effects of it that'll manifest later on in their lives that concerns me.

I second. It's also the same reason as to why I've chosen to give my beau a chance to live with me despite his heroin addiction. Like giving it a last shot if it works. All for the baby.

And you've got the right attitude and judgement in doing so Halia. Good job!

That's a very big risk you have taken. But I respect you for that. I wish all will turn out well for you and your baby.
