Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend and I have been together for more than 5 years and now we are talking about getting married, but he is also talking about having children but I’m not ready for that and maybe I never will be. When I tried to tell him that he got mad and threatened to leave me.
I’ve been thinking about getting pregnant just to keep him happy because I do love him, and after all, we’ve been together for so long and I don‘t want to think all those years were wasted time.
Queenie, what do you think?—Confused girlfriend
Dear Girlfriend,
I think bringing a child you do not want into the world just to please someone else is a bad idea. I also think marrying someone who would ask you to do this is a bad idea.
Pre-marital counselling for both of you might help you resolve your differences, but if it does not, do not waste any more time with this man.
