My gf is pregnant..How to resist temptations?

I been dating my gf for 3 onlymonths and now she's pregnant. It's too late for advice now. My question now is how to resist other girls? Since HS I was always the popular guy with chicks and always getting wasted at parties. I seriously want to stop all that for my kid. Any advice on that? I heard church could help out clear my mind.

    Well, wanting to is the first step. But you need to educate yourself - about your mind and your body. I am sure you think you know everything there is to know from being the "popular guy" and listening to the code of the "brotherhood" about what it means to be a man, but trust me, you have a lot to learn. So it's good that you want to.

    I was listening to a preacher on the radio one day. He was pretty old-fashioned but he said something interesting: "Kids these days talk about 'going all the way'. What a bunch of nonsense. You haven't gone all the way until you are still pleasing the same woman in 50 years."

    It is good that you say that you want to stop all that for your kid, because what you really want will drive what you do. What you have to figure out is what to do that will get you what you want.

    Guys bodies and minds are built for great things. A strong desire to protect and serve their families, and your desire to be a better man is born of all the good things that being a man is. Unfortunately, you have grown up in a world that trains men that being the worst that men can be is what makes you a man. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Let being a good father, and someday, a good husband be what you strive for. If you want to marry a princess, then you have to be a prince. By that I mean that you have to BE the kind of man a good woman would marry. And you have to be that first. You have to learn to say no to the things that won't get you there, and to DO the difficult things that will get you there.

    Church may help. It will and it won't. It depends largely upon the church, and what they teach. If they preach anything other than salvation by grace through Jesus Christ, then you should leave. It isn't about the building, it's about the relationship. With Jesus Christ. With others. With your child. With your girlfriend. There is hope and help through Jesus Christ alone. There is forgiveness that is complete and available right now and all you have to do is ask for it. There is an instruction manual for life and you can get help to decipher it.

    I do recommend that you go to church and ask for some counseling and to learn more. Be honest about where you are, and if they know what they're doing, they will help you learn. If nobody is willing to help you, remember that churches are comprised of people. People who have limitations and failings, so try a different one. If you live in a larger city, ask around and try to find a church with a regular attendance between 200 and 600 - that should be large enough to serve your needs. Look for one that has plenty of young people at it, but if they dont' hold your toes to the fire as far as keeping their expectations of you high, then find someone who will.

    I'd say think about your girl and your child when you have a temptation and remind yourself that you want to resist for your baby. You can also take yourself away from the temptations by not going to partied and bars and getting wasted where there are women that could try to get with you. Church is a good place to go. But really it's all about how strong you are mentally and emotionally, only you can choose to not have sex with another woman.

    that is great,at least you are trying to change.good on you.im sure you make a wonder full dad,and will be a great support to you're girlfriend.like you said it you're self.every-time you feel like doing something just think about her and you're baby,and tell yourself you are responsible now.and yes i would say church helps too.anything to get you're mind of these things.and you have to tell yourself that you have started a new chapter of you're life.with new chapter comes different responsibility and new fun,you still can have fun with you're girlfriend.having a baby doesn't mean the fun is over.good luck.

    CHURCH WONT NECESSARILY CHANGE YOU, I KNOW A LOT OF HYPOCRITES THAT GO TO CHURCH. YOU CAN HAVE FAITH WITH OR WITHOUT CHURCH. SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE IN GENERAL AND STAYING AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT DON'T RESPECT YOUR WANT TO CHANGE IS A GOOD START. ULTIMATELY IT'S ABOUT U AND YOUR SELF CONTROL AND IT WILL GET A LOT HARDER WHEN THE BABY COMES ESPECIALLY SINCE YOUR REALLY DON'T KNOW YOUR GIRLFRIEND WELL. GOOD LUCK

    Honestly you can't. Get it out of your system before the child is born. So go crazy for the next few months and prepare to be a loyal partner and father once your child is born.

    Just focus on her and preparing for your child. Get a job if you don't already have one.
