Baby, mama, daddy drama!
I can't believe I'm about to share this but I really really need some help!
I'm a Christian, my boyfriend doesn't identify as a Christian but he believes in God. We got pregnant, I repented and we've both been working on fashioning our lives so that we can raise our child the way God intended. We had plans to get married and move in together before baby was born.
Now, 30 days before baby's due date we still aren't married and my BF is saying he feels forced and rushed to get married but he still wants to move in together. I don't want to do anything else that is against God's word but I feel bad breaking up my family too. I feel like I owe it to my daughter to give her a whole family. My BF and I have been together for years and we've talked about marriage before all of this happened. He still wants to marry me but he thinks we need to get to know eachother more and not rush it just for the baby bc that would be getting married for the wrong reason. I think if we want to get married anyways in a few years y not step up be responsible and do it now to create a more stable life for our child.
On top of that, if we don't move in together me and baby don't have anywhere to go. I currently live with my mom, sister, and brother in a small 2 BR apt and my mom was willing to move to a bigger place but I assured her it wouldn't be necessary. And now it's too late and there is literally no room to move the baby in.
My pastor hadn't seen my BF in years and he asked to meet him again when I told him that I was pregnant. My BF was hesitant but he told me he would do it for me. Every time I bring it up he makes an excuse as to why this isn't a good time for him.
I don't mean to make my boyfriend sound like a bad guy so I should tell his side of the story too. He has always been transparent with me about his views on religion. We got together in HS seperated after the first year of college and recently reconnected. He reached out to me curious about Christianity and That's how we got back together. Since we got pregnant only 1 month after reconnecting he was still figuring out where he stood with Christianity but my family being very religious has hounded him with rules and regulations and sorta scared him off. He tells me all the time he wants to do the right thing but there's so much pressure on him to do what other people think is right & its clouding his judgement.
I have no idea what to do. Two scriptures run through my mind everyday. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" and "for the unbelieving husband is made righteous bc of his wife"
