I have lots of questions:
Supposing you have already thought about if he is "the ONE" and you both have the same plans for sure and will keep up with your part of the plan. Then:
Are you planning on living together at some point and if so when?
Will OH earn enough as to be able to not only be paying for rent but also be paying for food/doctors if necessary?
Are you aware that in the worst case you might have to bring your child up on your own?
Do you have help (family/friends).
Considering family and friends are closer to you than us, what do they think?
I am a single child, I would have liked to have my father but unfortuately he died when I was 3 months old. That led to my mum bringing me up on her own and she did a fantastic job! I learnt to be responsible and outgoing, values that make the person I am now and I wouldn't have been the same without that. With this I am trying to say that both parents is the ideal, but a child brought up by a single parent can be just as successfull in life as any other child and just as loved too. Also we have no family whatsoever here in Tenerife, but she still made it to work and have me in control and well at all times.
I will be working half time when pg, just like now, because that's the contract I was offered and I will enjoy it as I will get lot's of time with LO and will only have to find someone to take care while at work. Hopefully my mum. We don't get much income but we will make sure we can pay for all the basics when TTC.
Here in Spain, I think your situation counts as single parent as a friend of mine just had a baby and is getting state money for her baby while living together with OH. They're not married and that's why it's coming through.
Will look forward to your answers,
