Today’s topic: Oh, the tangled web we weave Dear Steve & Shirley: Please help! My boyfriend and I have had this on-again, off-again relationship for years. When we’re together, we have the best times. When our relationship is on the rocks, it’s really on the rocks! I am 37 years old with 4 kids. I am through having children, but my boyfriend is 38 years old with no kids. He wants me to have a child with him, but I’ve had all the children I want. My oldest is15 years old and my youngest is 9. After 9 years the Baby Factory is closed! This man has a six-figure income and provides well for me and my kids. I know he would make an awesome father, but I just can’t do it! We had a huge argument over the issue and we broke up about 4 weeks ago. I missed him so much that I did a very stupid thing to get him back! I told him that I just found out that I was pregnant again. He was so excited that he brought me a 1 carat diamond ring and proposed to me in front of my entire family at my parent’s recent 50th year anniversary party! I’ve been faking morning sickness and everything. Each night he kisses my stomach and tells me that I won’t be sorry…that I’ve made him the happiest man on earth! I can’t hide a fake pregnancy forever! I’m hoping to continue bonding with him and fake a miscarriage. My hope is that we will be married and he will continue to stay with me afterwards. I know that I have entangled myself into a web of lies, but I don’t know how to get out of it. What do I do now?
