Short update because I’m supposed to be working. And I don’t expect this to get attention because my original post didn’t but I don’t know who else to tell. The day after I posted originally, I told her I’m in love with her, and asked her on a “real date”. It went well.
Really well, so easily and just good. And she slept next to me again that night.. I got to kiss her in public! She said it felt like our little family was right, and it really does, it feels like everything just sort of snapped into focus.
I am going to take everyone’s advice and not just spring a marriage proposal on her out of nowhere, but I want to marry this girl and have more babies with her. Because everything just makes sense now. And yes, she said she loves me too!!!!!!
EDIT- because people keep asking, we’ve done paternity testing and this is absolutely my baby.
Here’s the comments of Reddit users:
[Reddit User] − This is the s**t I like to read
[Reddit User] − Congrats dude. Keep it up. It’s only the beginning. I hope it gets better and better for the both of you.
[Reddit User] − You used the wrong formula and somehow got the right answer lol good for you boyo
Yangoose − This world is so strange.. You two: * have spent nearly every day together for over a decade. * are living together. * are sleeping together. * have a kid together The fact that it took you guys this long to figure out you like each other is kind of astounding.
tinyhermione − Ofc she loves you too. She slept with you, kept your baby and moved in with you. I wish you a happy marriage and I think it will be.
drobthrowaway − Ay mozel tov OP! You shot your shot and found out that she likes you back. Looks like you should change your occupation to a movie director because that can be an award winner.
hilfnafl − Congratulations. When’s the baby due?
AlferSilas − Take it easy on the marriage proposal. Don’t want to spook her. Congrats!
biggiesmalltits − My husband and I didn’t have that fairy tale start either. We were just casually dating, hooking up, and bam.. a baby. We also said “it could be with someone worse”. Our son is now 2 and we’re expecting another in a few months. Sometimes it’s not about the journey, there’s not always they date-marriage-baby.
Sometimes it’s ass backwards, and that’s ok. I’m so thankful that it happened the way it did. We learned to love eachother, rather than falling in love and it really really worked out for us.
I wish the same happiness for you and your family!!! Also something I’m grateful for is he didn’t purpose right away, he waited until he WANTED to, not because he had to. I highly recommend waiting! Congrats on YOUR fairy tale start 🙂
[Reddit User] − D**p her. Hit the gym. Get a lawyer. …oh wait, wholesome content on this sub?
