Well, I can understand why you are attracted to this even before he got you pregnant, and I wish I could say to you that it will be easy, but it won't be.

To start, it's really important for you to sit down with him and discuss the issue of religion, because you need to decide how you are going to child. There's a lot of unresolved issues here.

The other thing that pains me to say this, but there is always the chance that he won't be involved or involved that much with your child, because on-line dating is not exactly known for its success. Work with him, as it is his baby and his responsbility as well, but I think you've got to recognize the possibility) that he could give up and leave (it would not be the first time).

If it gets to a point where he just acts like a jerk and tries to get you to choose between him and the baby or uses the baby as leverage, then that is your que to leave him, because signs like these mean he just doesn't care. Do not by any means let him use this child to coerce you into a life based on what he wants because if push comes to shove, I know you can raise the baby without him.

It is a tough situation, and I just want you to be prepared in advance because there may be some hard choices to make and I'm sure you want to make the right ones.

What I would suggest is seeing if you can two get married in the UK at some point.
