Imagine feeling torn between your health and your relationship. That’s the tough spot one woman finds herself in.
She’s three months pregnant by her pastor boyfriend after dating for eight months. But instead of focusing on her well-being, he’s all about getting married ASAP to avoid shame.
Meanwhile, she’s not feeling well at all. Dizziness, frequent hospital visits, you name it. But her guy’s more worried about his reputation than her health.
Even her parents, while supportive, are pushing for a quick wedding, saying it’s just one day. But she’s not convinced.
When she tries to speak up, her partner accuses her of embarrassing him. Feeling trapped and stressed, she doesn’t know where to turn.
It’s a tough situation, highlighting the struggle many face between societal expectations and personal well-being.
See post below:
“I’m currently 3 months pregnant for a pastor. We were together for 8 months before the pregnancy came in. He said we should marry right now to cover the shame so since we got to know the pregnancy we have been rushing with the preparations. I’ve also not been well at all. Doctors have told me to rest and take things slow. I am always dizzy and taken to the hospital many times and he knows it very well but is more concerned about his reputation and standing. I’m stressed over this. My parents are saying it’s just one day so I should take my medicine and I’ll be fine. I also don’t feel okay within me. I told him I can’t go on with it. He said I have been sent to disgrace him. I don’t feel okay and he is thinking more about himself… I don’t know what to do about it.”
