I don't approve of premarital sex, but I don't make judgments. That woman is just rude. The OP may be married and as some said, not wear rings, maybe she lost her ring, maybe she put it in her purse or bag to make sure it was ok.

Why is everyone on her case? For all we know she MAY have been having safe sex but a condom broke or perhaps this guy was going to marry her and backed off last minute or whatever. The important thing is that this child is being born. Would everyone "saying she deserved it because she isn't married" have preferred the baby NOT be born at all? You guys need to chill. We are at a time when as long as the child is loved ad raised properly (which can be done in a single parent home) everything is fine. also, please don't insult the religious community by saying these judgemental people have to be crazy Christians. It insults those who are religious.

actually, YDI. if your not married and pregnat, you should get used to people giving you shit for that.

It's not about morality. It's about providing for the child you're bringing into the world. It is harder for a single mother to give a child the things it needs than it is for someone in a stable, committed relationship. That said, the bitch on the plane should have kept her thoughts to herself.

Well, by technicality, social norms do say that you should be married first. That said, I'm still personally undecided on the prospect, though as an anthropologist I can't help but point out that although it's not WRONG to have a child out of wedlock, it is a cultural disadvantage. All that aside, though, I'm sure the b!tch on the airplane wasn't thinking of the cultural disadvantage when she acted like a total worthless dark smudge on the face of humanity.

Not being married doesn't mean she's not with someone she loves and they are happy together. A stupid piece of paper and some rings don't mean anything. I mean, op could just as well be a carrying mom (you know, a girl who has the foetus of the couple and gives birth because mother is sterile or something). And wtf people saying the op is a ****, or that marriage is a sacred institution ? come on, marriage is about MONEY, marriage is not about love. Marriage is planed by the families to bond together, not for two people being in love together. Marriage fails 50% of the time, and people keep cheating on each other, just face it ! The real tradition is to be married with someone you don't know, and having lovers outside. Besides, now that we actually know how life works, we know who is the father. Before we couldn't, therefore there was the whole bastard stuff, but now.. Not only children living with one single parent or with gay parents, or even neither parents live as happy ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBK22-5ihk8 ), but they are more well educated. And WHY in the world do not approuve premarital sex ? I mean, before buying into something ("spending the rest of my life with this guy") i prefer trying it. This is why in the us, marriage is sooo a failure, there is so much divorce rate and stuff. Because some assholes telling other people how to live their lives have so much power, you HAVE to get married to "be something" in your stupid country. It's also mandatory to say it on your resume ! but who the **** cares if you are or are not married ? (except the military, since if you are married, you earn more money, and then you don"t understand why there is so much fake marriages)

YDI *****.

Yeah, I would roll my eyes at you also... you should be married if you are having a child.

It appears that I have travelled back to the 1800s.. Why does she have to be married to have a child? She could be living with the child's father, be in love and have two incomes to support that child. She could also just not want to get married pregnant and be waiting for after the child's birth to get married. I have nothing against people who think you should be married to have children, but not when they start judging people who choose to have children without getting married. Most of these comments make me facepalm.

damn, so many people are so friggin closed-minded these days. no wonder this country is going to shit. people judging others, therefore thinking they're better than the person the've "judged"? stupid ****** people. keep your eyerolls to yourself, and i hope this incident doesn't get to you too much. **** that stewardess...she'll get hers.
