okay so let me explain this and then i want to see your thoughts on if i did the right thing or not.

two months ago a guy that i know raped me and he got me pregnant.. i choose to keep it and not charge him. now were together he's 23 and i'm 15, he has a full time job, and i have a job, still going to school with all honors classes. and the only reason i didn't charge him or report it is because i wanted my child to know it's real dad and know that he's not a terrible person that is in jail because it would be too young to understand what happened.

so what do you think? did i do the right thing by getting with him, not charging him/turning him in, and keeping the child?

umm... im not completely sure if your thinking was logical, but it was very thouhtful of you to think of your child. Good luck with your baby and your new life- and if partner ever tries and hurt you again, don't wait to tell someone. always think of you and your baby. good luck! your in my prayers.

I agree with anon and lets stop this WV. I just have to say if this was really "rape" you would be scarred and not able to post this on here. I don't want to sound rude or anything and im not quite sure when this happened but if it truly was a rape then he has the attitude to turn around and do something again. maybe not to you.

Hey, don't be so negative about it. There are plenty of successful rape to marriage relationships that work out... on soap operas.

I'm not trying to offend you but are you sure that this was actually rape? I mean you say you knew him and now ur with him? that just doesn't sound right to me. I would think if u were raped that you wouldn't go anywhere near the dude even if u wanted the baby to know the father. I agree with anon9 too that this seems like a dangerous situation if he really did rape you. i know you think you made a good decision and yes, it does seem logical but honestly in this case you shoulda pressed charges and hoped for the best.

hey
do you like the guy? if he raped you , i dont see how you can
and do you really want your child to be brought up by a rapist anyway? would he/she be better off with one parent who loves it?
an think in the future , when your baby is your age, will he rape him or her too?
even if you dont want to press charges, is going out with someone that dangerous really a sensible thing to do?
just take into account whats best for you aswell as your baby. loads of kids live happily in one parent families, and you are sure to meet a nice guy in the future, one who would respect and care for you and your child.
its up to you, but you shouldnt feel bound to the guy just because youre carrying his child.
maybe he should take responsibility for his actions, or you should make him.
im sorry for all you went through
and good luck with your child.
