i was thinking the baby would be fine as long as we both stay in his or her life but would they be happier if we were married?

You don't have to be married in order to provide the best for your child, marriage is only a ring and a piece of paper. You don't wanna jump into something you're unsure of and if you aren't positive that you wanna marry him, then you shouldn't.

But really hun it doesn't sound like you have much to worry about. I mean the fact that he actually wants to be there for the child is awesome enough, and you both sound like you'd be great parents. It'll all work out I'm sure. Congratulations btw!!!

If both parents can make it work, it's healthier for the child. But single parents can do just as good a job raising a child on his/her own.

It really boils down to the safety, comfort and stability of the household, not necessarily whether the child has both parents.

A single parent who provides the best for his/her child > 2 parents who provide an uncomfortable situation for the child, always.

i mean we're best friends and we both work he goes to school and im going to become a nurse until the baby is old enough then we will both go into the airforce

I think it's better to stay friends than get together and break up (possibly not being as good friends), but if you think there's a good chance for a relationship why not try it?

I do hate it when parents split up and the father has no interest. I come from this and it wasn't nice. So i do think its good to have involvement from both sides, but please, please, please do not stay together because you think it will make your child happier because it won't.

It rarely works to "stay together for the kids" and it's a bad idea. You two need and deserve to be happy as well. If you're not, your child will pick up on that very quickly. You can't fake a family.
