Girl, Take it Easy! 9 Impulsive Moves That Could Ruin a Relationship

9. Having a Baby

Sometimes people put their need for a family before their judgment, especially if they think their biological clock is ticking. This goes for men too. Some people want to be parents so bad that they settle down with the next person they meet so that they can get married – or not – and have a baby. Some women may even think they love a man because they can see him being a great father without even stopping to think that he might not make a good partner.

The other mistake men and women may make might not have anything to do with wanting a baby, but simply being lazy or irresponsible when it comes to birth control. If he doesn’t want children and you get pregnant anyway because you both failed to protect yourselves, it could ruin your relationship because it forces you both to deal with a pregnancy before the relationship is built on a solid foundation. Getting pregnant or having a baby with someone you barely know can spell disaster for a new relationship, so make sure you strap up or use some form of contraception in the early stages of a relationship until you’re sure that parenthood is something you both want to embark on…together.
