Why won't your boyfriend tell his parents you're expecting a baby if he's 28 and are you wrong to be mad about this because he says he doesn't want his reputation ruined since you're not married?

Answer 1

You have every right to be angry over this. Unfortunately, in these modern times younger people seem to do things backasswards. They buy a house together, have their kids and then consider marriage instead of the reverse. So, it's odd your boyfriend can't summon up the courage to tell his parents. In fact, at 28 years of age he should be responsible as a person, and he doesn't have to tell anyone if he doesn't want too. If you are a minor then it could be a problem, and this could be the reason he is having a rough time telling his parents, but again, he's an adult and he should be able to stand on his own two feet and face the responsibility of looking after you and his own child. As much as I hate to tell you this it sounds like this guy isn't responsible in many aspects of his life. It also sounds like he doesn't want to get married. It's time for you to sit down with him and get some explanation out of him. If he doesn't want to get married then you be darn sure he provides for you and the baby. I truly hope this works out for you. Have that talk with him soon as this is the only way you are going to know what he is thinking about. Good luck Marcy
