i don't see what it'll hurt to be her friend. especially since she told me she loves me and needs me during this hard time in her life
Key word, FRIEND. She may be tossing the "L" word around very casually and make sure you treat it as such. She may claim she needs you around, but, it's not your child, and therefore not your responsibility to help her, and this has the potential to be a major emotional drain on you. If you can help her out of the kindness of your heart, and that's awesome, todo respecto, but make sure you focus on making you happy first. I think all of us don't want to see you get burned.
side note: i'm posting all this with my cell phone while i'm treaveling through arkansas in my work truck. y'all are helping this trip not suck. illinois here i come
Glad we can help.
also, erica is not near as bad as brittany. erica has a good job, great personality, christian, ambition, she's intelligent and is not a crack whore
One may appear nicer than the other, but it could be one is better at hiding her psychoness(made up word) than the other. Being Christian has nothing to do with being a good person (I've known many a "christian" person who paid little more than lip service to actually acting like a Christian). She may not have the most noble of intentions in being around you at this point. Lets face it, you've got a good job, good money, plenty of cool toys, you're not a flaming [butthead], and you're a lot kinder than most guys out there. IF you're looking for love, get the Ferrari and not a fixer-upper (please dont take offense
)
I dont know the status of y'alls relationship when she slept with her "ex" but I would take it as a sign that she doesnt take things very seriously. and furthermore, if she is still talking to this "ex" I would be very leery of her and her intentions, and now that she is pregnant with his child, she may have to deal with him even more frequently. I know a lot of this is not what you want to hear, but more than a few of us wear scars from those battles. I would step back and clear my head if I were you. If you're gonna be in Illinois take the distance as a period to step out of the situation and analyze it a little more rationally. I dont want to sound like a jerk, but, I've seen what happens and all its gonna do it hurt, alot. It seems that you deserve a lot better than what you've been getting.
I wish I could have some more positive words to provide, but this is just setting off all sorts of warning bells and whistles to me.
