Diva has a boyfriend
HELP ME, HARLAN: no
more talking to her
HELP ME, HARLAN: :)
idahocheerleader: harlan,
my boyfriend of 2months was in a long term relationship before
me, he got the girl pregnant because she pushed him into
it(she wanted a kid)he
is 16 and she is 18 and 6months pregnant. She still calls him
all the time, and he gets mad and depressed, than it confuses
me,
what should I do to
help him and keep her away from him??????
idahocheerleader: and
also, how do i make my first time less painful???
HELP ME, HARLAN: First
question
HELP ME, HARLAN: He
is the father of this baby
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
wasn't pushed into anything
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
pushed himself
HELP ME, HARLAN: This
is his relationship
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
his situation
HELP ME, HARLAN: Keeping
her away from him is not your responsibility
HELP ME, HARLAN: Listen,
this is his father
HELP ME, HARLAN: the
baby's father
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
that's something he needs to deal with for the rest of his life
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
you can't make it better
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
needs to make it better
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
you need to NOT get involved
HELP ME, HARLAN: You're
probably wondering... how do you NOT get involved???
HELP ME, HARLAN: You
distance yourself from this boyfriend
HELP ME, HARLAN: CLEARLY,
he's not ready to date you or anyone
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
has to deal with this current situation
HELP ME, HARLAN: if
he's constantly depressed and down, that's not something you can
fix
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
needs to sort things out
HELP ME, HARLAN: you
might suggest he see a therapist
HELP ME, HARLAN: if
he can't get out of his funk
HELP ME, HARLAN: but
you're not a health professional
HELP ME, HARLAN: you
are NOT equipped to fix this situation
HELP ME, HARLAN: it's
something HE needs to deal with
mcdonalds_girly: She
can still be there for him as a friend though, can't she?
HELP ME, HARLAN: DEFINITELY
HELP ME, HARLAN: but
I PRAY YOU DO NOT SLEEP WITH HIM
HELP ME, HARLAN: PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE
HELP ME, HARLAN: next
thing you know
HELP ME, HARLAN: you'll
be the next woman who is pregnanty harassing him...
idahocheerleader: i
want her to quite harassing him, I don't mean keep her from him,
she always calls him crying and says that she wants to marry him,
than he gets all mad
and says he wishes she would quiteharassing him and be normal
idahocheerleader: he
tells me he loves me all the time, but sometimes I feel out of
place
HELP ME, HARLAN: He
NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THIS
HELP ME, HARLAN: this
is his situation
idahocheerleader: the
reason she was pregnant is because she told him she didn't want
to use protection
HELP ME, HARLAN: well
he should have said, I DO
HELP ME, HARLAN: no
excuses
HELP ME, HARLAN: none
HELP ME, HARLAN: it's
not a healthy situation for you
HELP ME, HARLAN: this
has become your problem
HELP ME, HARLAN: it's
NOT
HELP ME, HARLAN: it
doesn't have to be
HELP ME, HARLAN: He
needs to find a way to deal with her because it's tearing you
apart
HELP ME, HARLAN: but
from everything you've said
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
doesn't seem to be the best communicator...
HELP ME, HARLAN: or
user of birth control
HELP ME, HARLAN: he's
responsible
HELP ME, HARLAN: for
him and his ex and his future baby
HELP ME, HARLAN: obviously
HELP ME, HARLAN: it's
too much of a strain of everyone here
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
please
HELP ME, HARLAN: send
in your commments
HELP ME, HARLAN: anyone
idahocheerleader: he
is just a kid, he has only slept with her, he didn't know better,
he met her when he was 13 and shewas 18
HELP ME, HARLAN: You
can make excuse s for him forever
HELP ME, HARLAN: they
are still excuses
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
the situation is still the situation
HELP ME, HARLAN: it's
upsetting you
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
he seems a long way from being able to handle the situation alone
HELP ME, HARLAN: let
alone with an intimate partner
idahocheerleader: I
love him, and I don'twant to split up with him
HELP ME, HARLAN: I don't
question your love
HELP ME, HARLAN: but
this might not be the right time to be his girlfriend
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
needs to figure things out
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
doesn't need a girlfriend... especially one who is thinking of
being intimate with him
mcdonalds_girly: He
can't just ignore her though because he's going to be a father
and he can't run away from that. It's going to be with him for
the rest
of his life now
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
HE needs to deal with this and be comfortable with this
HELP ME, HARLAN: this
is a problem HE needs to work out
HELP ME, HARLAN: it's
making you miserable
hawiiangirl81887: i
think it is ok for her to sleep with him (the new girlfriend)
as long as she understands they have to use protection and she
shouldn't
expect a commitment
out of him
HELP ME, HARLAN: and
even if they use protection.. she could get pregnant
HELP ME, HARLAN: the
good news
HELP ME, HARLAN: is
that this guy can use a lot of 2 for 1 coupons when shopping for
his new babies....
HELP ME, HARLAN: it
happens all the time!!!
HELP ME, HARLAN: not
the 2 for 1's
HELP ME, HARLAN: the
pregnant thing
mcdonalds_girly: maybe
she should go talk to someone too... a friend or something. Friends
are great to lean on in times like this
HELP ME, HARLAN: Definitely
HELP ME, HARLAN: thanks
Mcdonalds_girly
HELP ME, HARLAN: talk
to your friends and family and even a counselor at school
HELP ME, HARLAN: he
is dealing with so much
