Video Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Were having a baby and my fiance is worried about our financial situation. Its taking so much in me to keep from saying to her "This was your choice too, you knew what you were getting yourself into" She was completely aware that i dont make a ton of money when she started dating me, and when she said she wanted a baby. So now that ive gotten that out...im not sure what to do. I can only try to reassure her that everything will be okay. It really hurts to hear her say that. It makes me feel like **** about myself and my inability to provide. She makes more money than me. I am looking for a better full time job and were saving our butts off. Its not like im not trying.

turnera Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The best thing you can do at this point is start a savings account. It will help you out in emergencies and that's the best thing you can do for her until you have a better job. Even if you can only put $50/month in, do it! The next best thing you can do is start looking at improving your education - technical courses are great ways to become more hirable and valuable. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pink_sugar Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 How come you agreed to have a baby if you felt this way? It's not entirely on her you know. You're planning a wedding and for a baby, which are two major expenses now. Anyhow, now that you're in this situation you'll need to seek out other employment and look for ways to further your skills and job prospects. Also from reading your other threads, you already have some other issues with your fiance other than the pregnancy... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lst11 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 You have to tell her how you feel about all this. It's not healthy abot you and your finance to think like this. On this way you engender bad things to happen. So think positive and act Link to post Share on other sites
WhoreyBull Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Well, in theory you should be financially secure before you have a baby... But ya kinda screwed the pooch on that one. You need to tell your wife hour you feel. Financially I'd suggest not having a wedding. Get married in a courthouse with a few close friends and family. There are more important things to worry about. Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfcub Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Pregnant women tend to worry more, and if there is even a shadow of reason, then she will worry. Thats normal. Do as much as you can, work, learn, save, support her emotionally. Link to post Share on other sites
Sollenn Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Don't let her worry too much or at least see you worry too. You can't risk the time to earn and save while you have your work now by simply getting out of it and look for another one. Don't let pride eat you up. If she's paid higher than you then be it. It will be a challenge for you in the near future. But for the meantime, let her feel that you are really trying to find ways that could make things better for the both of you. Be with her not just physically but also emotionally. BTW, congratulations! Link to post Share on other sites
