Dear Pastor,

I am 20 and am having a little problem. I wouldn't call it serious but I need some guidance. I have a girlfriend who is also twenty and right now she is pregnant, but I have another girlfriend who is living in America and she is twenty-four years old. She is working and going to school. She does not know that this girl that I have in Jamaica is pregnant. She asked me one day if I am fooling around and I told her I go out with a girl but there is nothing to it; she didn't say anything.

She is planning to come home for the summer and I don't know what to do. I love her more than my baby- mother but this girl who is pregnant is poor, so she is depending on me to give her everything. I cannot hide the truth from my girlfriend in America.

Do you think I should tell her what is going on or lie to her? My babymother is expecting to have the baby later this year.

S.W.

Dear S.W.,

Tell your girlfriend who is living abroad the truth. She is likely to hear from others if you don't. You have not been careful. I am sure you are aware that it is possible to get a girl pregnant if you have unprotected sex with her. I hope you would not make up a story (such as, the condom broke) to tell your girlfriend.

Pastor
