    I got a girl pregnant, but I'm in a long-distance relationship
    The girl is keeping the baby. Her family is asking me to marry her and take full responsibility. What should I do with my current relationaship?

    What do you want to do. You marry someone if you want to marry them. As to the baby of course she will file for custody, you can have visits. You will be ordered to pay child support, so expect to write a check every month for the next 18 plus years.

    Marry her?? NAWWWWW!!

    Do make arrangements for child support though, and custody. And tell your long distance girl you cheated and got a girl pregnant, ASAP!!

    In past times, taking full responsibility when you got a girl pregnant did mean marriage. That's no longer the case. But it does mean that you support the child financially and be there when the child needs a father.

    And yes, you need to tell your other girl friend about it.

    Take responsibility of the kid. Do not marry her if you are not wanting to spend the rest of your life with her. You can be a father from afar, there is no need to marry her if you do not love her, and what her parents think does not matter, this is your life.
