What do you think of women who get pregnant to try and keep their boyfriend or husband in the relationship? Does it ever work? (My sister has done it twice and both relationships have failed.)

No, I'm not planning on getting pregnant to keep my man...I have no need to. He's actually begging me to have a baby now!! (We've lived together for 8 years, but just got married in April.) Maybe he's trying to get me pregnant to trap me....hmmmm... Just kidding...we love each other, I'm just not ready for a baby!

It doesn't work my sister also did it twice and they both left her and what did she end up with? 2 kids, no man, stretch marks and 65 pounds heavier. Don't you watch Maury!

If a man or a woman wants to end a relationship a child is not going to stop them. You can ask the millions of single parents out there. The only way you should start a family is if you're confident that no matter what happens you will love and take care of that baby whether its alone or with your husband. Even if you've been dating a long time getting married is a new adjustment, unless you're at an age that your pregnancy would be a risky one waiting a little wait and enjoying your honeymoon period would only do you good. In the mean time try finding out all you can about pregnancy and make sure there aren't any other problems so that when you are ready you can go through the process smoothly. You know the actual chances are like 25 or 30% so just trying alone could take months or maybe years.

I can't imagine how it would work. You are basing the whole relationship on a lie. If the man is leaving, why have a child? All you end up doing is having a child that is unwanted by the father, (and especially when the mother finds out that this isn't going to work) is also a burden on the mother. What happens if the man just disappears? Which is what usually happens. Then you have another child that must grow up without his or her father. You also have a mother who is going to be financially strapped just to raise this child. A child's life is nothing to play with, and that's exactly what you are doing if you use a child to try to keep a man.

Even if the baby's father stays because he feels obligated, what has the woman won?
Answer: A man who feels trapped, resents being there and doesn't love her.
Sounds more like a life sentence (for both of them) than a prize. And worse - where does that leave the poor child?
So a woman who would deliberately become pregnant in order to trap a man is not only manipulative and conniving but delusional about her ability to control her partner and her life.

Women may try but 9 times out of 10 it will ultimately fail. No man wants to be trapped by a woman and also it would not be right to stay together just for the sake of a child. There are plenty of split homes and blended families for the child to feel normal and not like an outcast.

I`m sure that it has worked, because I have seen people with rocky dating relationships work things out in a marriage after they got pregnant out of wed-lock. The only thing is morality, would you really want to be that deceptive with someone that you actually loved? Your whole relationship could last on deception, but truly what a sick relationship that would be. Things like "forgetting" to take you birth control pill, so you can say," oh, we're pregnant, marry me?" Is wrong.

If anything a baby will separate you from your guy. He will have to come to terms with he is not the center of your world anymore and some man can not handle that and then there is the added cost of raising a child that may be too much for him to handle. Some men can walk away from their child and never look back and it is easier for them to do if there is no love for the mother! Not all men are like this.

It is an utterly stupid idea that hurts everyone involved including the kids. If you think this is a good way to keep a man you are in need of serious psychological help before your man realizes what a devious and crazy psycho he is dating.

Your sister got pregnant twice to keep a man? And you're asking if it ever works? Boy, who says stupidity doesn't run in families?

very wrong!! and of course your sister's relationships failed...it wasn't about love, it was to try and trap him!! and the saddest thing is, that the women that do this, eventually move on and realize that they weren't in love, they were just being childish....but the children that come out of the childish act, are the ones that suffer and end up living without a father!!!
