Yes, much better to compel a shotgun marriage when someone is pregnant those always turn out well, or abort if not married.

As someone who is not married and has a kid who I take care of better than my father took care of me, and have a better relationship with the child’s mother than my father ever had with my mother, I would give some of the judgmental folks here some advice to just shut-up.

Since marriage is nothing but a contractual business arrangement (I know folks like to put the “love” spin or religious underpinnings on to things), the fact that they are married or not married is really nobody’s business.

As a divorce attorney though, I would highly recommend that those of you who are into that sort of thing continue to get married so the 50%+ of you who get divorced provide me with regular work. Thank you.

He comes from a stable, intact family and my guess is that he wants to be 100% available as a husband and father. While he’s playing baseball, he’s devoted 100% to the game and maybe to him that conflicts with family obligations. He’ll settle down closer to retirement with Miss America, some very beautiful woman who wants to help end world hunger or whatever the beauty contestants usually say.
