writes:My wife and I had talked about waiting to have kids for at least one more year. Well, on the day of love feb 14th she dropped the bomb on me that she was pregnant and that she went off birth control without telling me. She says she didn't think she would get pregnant and she was going to go back on birth control a month later. It crushed me, she lied to me and deceived me. Now we are going to have a kid but I am so angry and have a hard time forgiving her. Any comments are fine just would like to hear your opinion. thanks.

 Being pregnant does not mean you will have a kid. It takes nine months and anything can happen from now till then.
If it is her first time , she carries more risk of miscarriage.
Pray for her and the baby .The Lord has brought forward your baby plans. It is not easy to get pregnant.

You may have a hard time forgiving her but when the baby comes into this world, you will forget all about it.
Babies are a blessings...
Whatever happens, you cannot change the course of history.If you cannot fight against it , better join her and be happy that you are blessed with a baby.

 I agree with the others, you should forgive her and enjoy fatherhood. Would it help to know why she came off birth control? Perhaps she was getting some unwanted side effects and didn't feel the need to tell you. After all, getting pregnant is not that easy!
Could it be you're so angry that you haven't heard the full story? Give her a chance to explain.
Anyway, even if she hadn't stopped birth control, no method is 100% effective! Share your views and let her know she upset you, but forgive and move on with life.
God bless you all and good luck!

You have been deceived and I can tell you this...she has no remorse, but will feel resentful because you are angry and should forgive her for her treachery. I feel sorry for you man! That is the reason why I haven't gotten married again and I'm against women living with me.

Why don't you feel blessed that you have a child on the way?!!! This is more about the fact she didn't tell you so you feel hurt about the lack of honesty but a piece of advice - these things very often don't happen for a while for a woman and she had probably read about all this or taken advice. The pill can take a long time for some women to get out their system before everything is back to normal. So she could have felt that the pressure would be less if she started the ball rolling now. You are married. You had planned to have a child after one more year. Everyone I know who has children has said to me "there is never a 'right' time and you just have to get on with it". I hope when you see the scans and you start to engage in this wonderful time the shock will be replaced with the deep desire and thrill to be a father. Your child will want to know they were truly wanted and not an inconvenience - and lets face it... you can rarely make an appointment for these things or put it in your diary. Please dig deep and change your mindset.

Please dont hold it against her. I know how she must of felt, to discover that your pregnant can be quite a shock especially if she just came off the pill. She was probably dreading telling you, so come on, put it behind you and enjoy the pregnancy and the lovely child you will have in the future, besides it is only one year earlier. You are lucky, my niece cant have kids due to a medical problem, so embrace the whole thing with love. She told you on the day of love, so let it be. No more pain, only love.
take care

If she really wanted a child, I think she should have told you and you could have talked about it, and made love in a romantic way, knowing that a child was being concieved. I'm sorry to hear you're in a situation like this, it wasn't fair on you. But I'm sure in time you can forgive her for her mistakes, everyone makes them, just some feel much bigger than others. But whatever happens between you two, I hope you have an amazing life with your child and a great future with your wife :] good luck with everything.
