I was listening to someone as they were talking to me and realized I was being a distracted listener. I was just told that she (the speaker) was pregnant...and that she also got back with the father even though she had made it quite clear in the past few weeks that I have known her that he is a douche. So I asked the obvious question "wait...why are you back together with him?!" which made everyone at the table laugh.
While she was trying to explain to me that it wasn't for the baby but that he also has issues from being from a broken home and doesn't want that for his child, I was half listening because the others at the table were going on about how "her" (being me) it was to ask such a blunt question about relationships. So I am trying to pay attention to the person in front of me but I also want to know what is being said about me on the side. I think I did okay in terms of comprehension but I worry I looked less than rapt with what was being said to me.
Yeah, I don't get getting together with someone because you are going to have a kid by them. I know that is not what she said. But it also doesn't make sense to that they were separated and then when she told him she was carrying his biological progeny he decided it was worth a go again simply because he didn't want a kid of his raised like that. Explaining that first bit away with the impression that they "clicked" upon meeting up again just doesn't cut it for my cynical self. I do not see longevity in that relationship but then again it isn't my place to judge or care. I just think she could do it on her own just fine.
