HARLAN: Try to focus on being a good dad
My girlfriend currently is 13 weeks pregnant. The pregnancy wasn’t planned. I want to be the best father to my child. I have my college degree and a decent job, but don’t think I can make enough to take care of us. We are having a hard enough time finding an affordable place to move into together. But now, she suddenly seems reluctant to move in with me. She says she’s not ready and unsure if she can be with me forever.

In the past, their relationship was very turbulent. I’m confused and scared. I want to keep making her happy, but I can’t seem to do things right any more.
