My fiancé and I have been together on and off for 5 years. During one of our breaks, I briefly got with another girl. During that time period, my fiancé and I discovered we missed each other, so I dumped that other girl. A few weeks later, that girl called me and told me she was pregnant. I got an in utero DNA test, and the child was mine. I told that girl that if she decides to keep it, all I'm going to be is a co-parent. My fiancé understood, and said she still wanted to marry me. Well, things got sour lately. My fiancé and I spent months planning a wedding. And by bad luck on our wedding day, my baby mama went into labor. When I heard the news, I left and attended my baby's birth. My fiancé was angry because her parents had paid all this money for our wedding and I left. I told her I felt bad, but I needed to be there for my son. She didn't even ask how the baby was doing. She even added that our wedding was more important than the baby because it cost more. I then got upset and told her she was being selfish herself. Now, she's demanding that we reschedule another lavish wedding. I think we should just go to the courthouse. I told her I don't have the money for that since I have a son to support. She said if I loved her, i would sacrifice my son's needs for her. Should I just pay her parents back and dump her? I'm starting to believe my son's birth falling on our wedding day was a sign we shouldn't get married. Am I right? what should I do now? Is she worth it?

I'm in a wedding party for my friend whose getting married 10/2. The mohhas been planning the bachelorette and bridal showers, both of which are fairly costly. We had a very hard time picking a day for the shower since I will be on a cruise and have other things happening when she wants me to attend. I've already talked to the bride and I'm taking her out for lunch. But moh is still expecting me to pay for the shower. What r the rules on this??

My gf of 11 months brought up that she wants to join the army or marines. When we first started dating she had mentions that she wanted to and i told her 'ok cool, if that is your dream go for it i dont want to stand in your way. But i cant be with you because i dont want to be with someone that is going to be gone for so long" She gave it time and she decided to stay and she ended up starting school and is now going into her second semester. She now brings up that after her second semester she wants to join the army or marines. In my opinion its her dad throwing out ideas to her since he was in the navy and he is all about that. she doesnt really know what she wants to do with her life, she says she doesnt want to do a 9-5 and wants to joing the military then after become a flight attendant. When i brings up other careers that you can do after getting a degree she listens to be and say "yeah that sounds like something i want to do". So im asking how do i make her see that she will have better options and opportunities if she stays in school and finishes instead of dropping everything and joining the military. Forgot to mention, a yeah before we meet she had enlisted for the army and was going through basic. She was kicked out because she hurt her hip or something so she wasnt able to fully join. Thank you for your response i truly appreciate it. To add i am 24 and she is 20. Shes trying to figure out what she wants and i understand that and i will support her. But ive gotten to know her and her family and it seems like shes easily manipulated by peoples suggestions and decisions. She even said to me once she never wanted to join its was her dads choice. but now she says its something she wants.
