Me and my boyfriend are expecting our first baby and the way my parents have reacted makes me feel like I’m having a teen pregnancy (I’m 33, been with partner for 5 years who they love)
since telling them at Christmas they have been really weird about it, they say their excited but I’ve had multiple conversations with my mother who keeps asking me how “committed” my partner is and “why hasn’t he proposed to you yet” - I’m finding out their quite traditional and even though I say we have plans to get engaged / married quite soon, it’s left a very bitter feeling between us.
Its pretty common to have a baby before marriage but she says she “feels” for me which made me feel horrendous and upset.
has anyone else experienced people being dicks about having a baby before marriage?
so disappointed and I think they seem miffed too
