We decided that it would be best to keep the house because of our furbabies. I couldn't imagine giving them away to someone and neither could he. It's not like he was home all that often anyways. Fast forward a bit. We started dating other people. I was dating a guy and I ended up pregnant. The guy told me he wanted nothing to do with another child and offered me money to 'get rid of it'. I told him to eff off and that was the end of that. I was well prepared to have a little person all on my own. My parents were awesome about the whole situation and told me they would be there for me no matter what. (they've been divorced since I was nine) Since I no longer went out, I spent a lot of time at home. My husband (we were legally separated at the time but you cannot legally get a divorce in Texas while the wife is pregnant. Even if it's not the husband's) and I started spending a lot of time together too. We always got along... just grew apart. He started going to wellness check ups with me. He was there for me when I sobbed when I found out I had to fight for my unborn child because I have an adrenal gland disorder. He was so excited when he found out he was a boy. We fell in love all over again. This little boy changed our lives - For the better. My husband is white. I am white. Our child is biracial. I'm sure we get looks and we have a lot of explaining to do later on in life... but for right now, we're good. Sorry for the long post.

I've always wondered but thought it would be rude to ask glad I found this thread and I'm glad everything worked out for you

The marriage and the relationship needed SO much work and we gave up too fast and regretted it. And strangely enough, our relationship still has many many obstacles but it's so much stronger this time around. Proof positive that if you love each other enough and want it badly enough, you can overcome nearly anything.

This happened to us. We weren't married though. I love him today more than ever. Right now we don't live together cause when we left eachother he went to Ohio for work. But we will be moving back in together when the school year is over. We are planning our wedding too.

A lot of people are afraid to ask. Lol. I can understand why but I'm always more than happy to explain if someone wants to listen.
