If He Loved You, He Wouldn’t Ask You To….10 Things You Should Never Do For a Man

3. Having a Baby Before You’re Ready

I don’t know too many men who go around asking women to bear their seed, so if the guy you’ve been dating for only six months all of a sudden says, “Let’s have a baby,!” that should raise an eyebrow or two. Why? Because sane and responsible men just don’t do that. I’m not talking about the guy who says he wants to have children with you some day, after you get married, buy a house and travel the world first. I’m talking about the guy who is so insecure that he feels the only way he can keep you is to knock you up so you won’t go anywhere and you’ll be in his life forever. THAT dude.

Having a man’s baby doesn’t guarantee that he’ll marry you or even continue to love you after the baby is born. Next thing you know, you’re on Maury trying to get a free paternity test because the same man who asked you to have his baby is now claiming that it isn’t his and hasn’t paid child support since Little Junior was born. Don’t get me wrong, some folks have babies out of wedlock and they love and take care of their children just fine. But if you’ve never PLANNED to do so, don’t let a man persuade you to for his own selfish reasons. If he loved YOU, he’d wait until the time was right for both of you, whether that involves marriage or not, and won’t be doing it just to keep you in his life.
