I AM a 32-year-old divorcee with two children. I have been alone for seven years and have now fallen in love with my foreign worker. He is from Myanmar and is a younger single man.

We have met three times. Our relationship is real and I can’t break it off although people are gossiping about us.

I got pregnant and am very confused. My heart wants the baby but all I am hearing is “No!”

I know there will be a lot of problems if I keep my baby. But I love children, especially since this baby is already in my body.

What should I do? Everyone looks down on my man just because he is a different race and we come from different countries. We just want to be together.

Real Love

ARE you sure love is for real after only three meetings? You are already pregnant with his child. So is sex the reason for your intensity and confusion?

You must have been sad and lonely since your divorce seven years ago. With two kids to care for, it is all too easy to be vulnerable to affection and love.

He may be a foreign worker but your feelings would not be constrained. You must have been easily flattered, charmed and excited by his interest in you. Who can blame you when you needed to be loved so badly?

But how will this end? Are you prepared to marry this young, single man from Myanmar?

It does not really matter what everyone else says. We live in a multiracial, multi-religious country. We should be more tolerant than bigots who do not understand.

So it’s your choice, your call. It is good that you love your unborn baby. If your guy truly loves you and would take care of you and the kids, then what is there to worry about?

There is no right or wrong. You simply live with the consequences of your actions.

But think carefully. Marriage should be a life long commitment. You have been divorced once. Act rationally, do not rush as too many mistakes are made in the heat of the moment. -The Star/ANN
