Should I go and live with my boyfriend?

Dear Pastor,

I am 22. I have two major problems. I have a two-year-old son and his dad seems to have lost interest in maintaining him. We are not together anymore. He gave me money to start a small business but things are slow so I have stopped for a while. I am planning on restarting next year. Lately he isn't playing any part in his son life. I asked him the other day if he doesn't know that his child needs things and his reply was, "Yes, I am coming to visit and give you money to go shopping". I haven't seen him up until this day. He called and said he was in town and he was going to stop by and he didn't. I am in a relationship with this other guy for the past six months. Everything seems to be ok but he used to complain that I am not giving him any sex. I explained things to him and he understands. I told him that I don't want any baby until we are married. He said that was ok. I am taking contraceptives. I am going to evening classes and he is helping me. I really appreciate that but he asked me to come and live with him. I told him I am not ready. I am still living with my parents. He said he is not forcing me. I want to know if I am making the right choice. I need you to pray for me.

Dear Unnamed,

Your child's father should be forced to support his child and that means you might have to take him to the Family Court.

Concerning your new boyfriend who wants you to come and shack up with him, I would not encourage you to do so. Stay with your parents. Get to know him very well. Pursue an education. As I have said on numerous occasions, you can lose on a man but you cannot lose on education.

Pastor
