Help please!!! =/

Ok well my best friend just got his girlfriend pregnant. He's 19 and she's 17 and they're both against abortion. He panicked at first but they've been going out for 4 and a half years now, so he said he wouldn't leave her when she needed him most. I'm proud of him for staying loyal to her, but I kinda think he might be throwing away the rest of his life to be with someone who will leave him later on. I don't know, I'm just worried about him. He just graduated high school got accepted to an Ivy league school but now he's dropping out to work so he can pay for the child. He even gave her a promise ring to say that as soon as they were stable, he would marry her. He seems to think what he's doing is right, but I'm not so sure. I know he thinks he's in love, and she really is a nice girl but honestly what are the chances of their relationship lasting? I don't know what to do. Should I support his decision and take the risk of watching him make the biggest mistake of his life, or speak up. And even if I were to speak up what would I say? "I think you should leave your pregnant girlfriend because it'll ruin your life?!" NO I can't do that. PLEASE HELP!!!!

It's his choice. He's being a stand up guy by staying with her and supporting her and even if he decided to leave her, at least he's supporting her. This is his choice and his life.

You should tell him that he should go to college...finish his schooling and get a better job to help out more.......shcool should be a top on his list but i think he is doing the right thing by standing by her....he is just not doing it in the right way.

just make sure to give him some support cuz he will need it. i wish him all the luck in the world.

I think you are being over dramatic, they have been together for 4 & 1/2 years, so it is not like it was a fly by night relationship. It is his life and his decision to make, obviously he believes he is doing what is right for not only himself but the child they are expecting. Just because he doesn't go to an Ivy league school doesn't mean he won't go to school at all or find a career that makes him happy.

Thank you all for your help. I appreciate it

OPiNiON;; honestly who are you to say it's a mistake in his life. He's CHOOSiNG to stay with this girl and not go to college. No one's holding a knife to his head telling him he has to. So its good hes choosing to help support his future kid. That's what a good man does. Now how can you say that he won't be with her much longer? your not physcic... and he loves this girl, other wise they wouldn't have been together this long.

honestly;; their lives aren't ruined their just dedicateing their to support another.

if you see a baby as a mistake....than you seriously need to think things through agian.
