Town girl meets farmer boy. Gets pregnant. Help?!
I live in town and started seeing a guy who lives on a farm about an hour out. It's been working really well because we're both such independent people with a lot going on (he's taking over the family station and I'm launching a business and buying a house), so the occasional trip to see each other is a welcome break without being overbearing right now.
We've just found out I'm pregnant and are struggling to see how this works going forward..
It's not expected I move out there because that puts my business at risk and he only has a one bedroom cottage, but obviously it doesn't work with him moving into town either.
Am I suppose to suck it up, drop my business and move out there to bring up this child with him or can it be fair to have the child in town with both of us making effort to commute so he can see his child?
He works such long days on the farm that I know visits would be limited especially on top of the commute and I feel so horrible because I know he's the type of father that wants to be there in the middle of the night for feeding and wants to make sure I'm doing ok actively rather than just asking.
We're just so confused 😟 if we had just one more year, we could be so set for this.
**Edit**
I know an hour out isn't that far in the grand scheme of things, but today for instance, he didn't get back in until nearly 9pm. He's so dedicated to his farm life and I absolutely adore and admire him for it. I'd never expect him to give it up nor would I ever make him choose. It just makes the cons of one option that much worse.
My business is in Events Marketing so I'm meeting with clients and attending events right up until I can't. We launch next month straight into the busy season so it's an estimated 12 months before I can run everything remotely, so I could work on moving out then.
The more I think about it, the more I feel like it could be fine by the time I'm due, I'm probably just still stuck mentally on how busy I am right now, as well as how busy the OH is due to calving and lambing season still going.
All my life I've always said I would be the one to go to work and my child's father would stay at home with them. Lol, I clearly never expected to fall for a farmer.
