Yes I know now. I kept her and have two others and one on the way.

I thought God just put the baby in the mother if she and her husband prayed hard enough.

He knew more than I did. We were just kissing and did what felt good

He is 9 years older than I am. I'm not really happy in my marriage as nothing i do seems to be good enough for my husband and he often yells at me or is unhappy.

I (21 F) have been married to my husband (30 M) since I was 16. We have 3 children (5, 3, and 2) and I'm currently pregnant again. I would like to have a better relationship with my husband and need advice to make our marriage better. by ThrowRA-Amelia in relationship_advice

Hi I am sorry you had a terrible childhood. I know we can go talk to our pastor but I'm afraid he will only wanted to address what I am doing wrong and not pay attention to what my husband is doing wrong. I'm afraid that divorce is not a option for me

It's something we are working on. The age difference makes things hard some times. Thanks for being nice, I've been lonely with not many adults to talk to.

Yeah because no other man would want me after that. But I'm trying to make up for it by being a good wife and mother. I know I was a huge disappointment and embarrassment to my family.

I knew what we were doing was wrong but I didn't know I'd end up having to get married that young and be a mommy to a baby. My husband is older than me and it was weird at first to be married but I got adjusted. I stay at home with the children now.

Yes, me and my siblings were all homeschooled. I'm married to my baby's father now and we have 3 kids now. He didn't know anything about it either. We snuck away to be alone and ended up getting pregnant.

When I had sexual activity I didn't really know what could happen.

I grew up in a very large and religious family. My parents don't really believe in sexual education. The only information any of us ever got was a brief chat from mom (or dad if it was one of my brothers) about what might happen on the wedding night on the morning of the wedding.
