That's a great guy.
If you're not ready for a little third wheel, then it's not fair to you or for it to come into this world. I don't think you want to feel like your child was holding you back from enjoying your life in some major way. You want to be ready to have that child, and have it be a choice, not an accident. I'm a big believer in family planning. Your boyfriend sounds like a great guy, but like vashti said, it's recent and you apparently just got divorced. I think it's more important for him and his needs, to just spend some more time with one another alone for some more time before having a child. At least you know he would make a great father, because even if it's nothing, he's the type of guy who is willing to put his needs aside to be supportive and there for you. Hope it all works out well bluesummer.
