This idea that unless you are prepared to have a child don't have sex is utterly ridiculous and sounds like something the religious right in US love to preach. Are you one of these religious nuts MMM? (Oh sorry not allowed to discuss religion...gee wonder why?  ).
So according to you there's a mutual responsibility even though he was being completely responsible right along with the expectation that no child would be created. And she has decided to have the baby regardless of what his feelings about it are? Where's the mutual decision to start a family? There is none, but it's ok then for her to go ahead with it and expect him to be there? Nothing mutual about that at all... |
First of all, no I am not a religious person, and my statements have no moral or religious reasoning behind them.
I guess you haven't been reading what I am saying. Contraceptives are not 100%. Everyone knows that.
How can you say "there's no expectation that the child would be created"?
They did the ONE thing it takes to have a child!! Maybe there was a VERY LOW expectation, but you cannot say NO expectation.
