bun in the oven

I am turning 21 and have a baby on the way
this is no laghing matter let me tell you

abortion is out of the question..and i dont have a problem with that...the problem is money
she has no income..currently schooling..im currently in university..awaiting my time to study abroad coming this summer

im leaving for europe to persue an athletic dream (about 2 months before shes due.
heres the problem ..she wants me to give up something i've worked for my whole life..knowing its going to be extremtly tough on her alone.

at the same time i feel guilty thus debating a change in plans.
our relationship is heading down dramaticly spirtually..and if you did the math...you know we are not sexually active.
.shes developing a passionate Hate towards me..assuming im never gonna return

its coome down to if i leave ...were finished...and i dont want this..thus torn between the life with her here...or a career iv'e dreamed about for decades.

my question----what would you do.?

thank you rock rose

we did use a condom but no birth control..which i guess was a mistake
nono i mean a blessing.

i do ponder the idea of spending the rest of my life with her..if i can convince her to pull through this obstacle...
truthfullly...i think she knows i dont want to lose her and is playin the leave but dont come back game...tryin to get me to stay and jus work
our families are both below middle class and i just dont see how even if i were to stay  how it woulld be better financially..emotionally yes..but not financially
we both lost our virginities to each other...
i am committed to her...

marriage not any time soon though,,thats another whole issue which will
inevtibly set us back financially
but sure .....we've discussed this..then again shes 20 im 21
we are too young to know exactly if were going to be togeather forever

if things worked out overseas...daym straight i would send for her to come if she was commited to me
so im still confuses man...i dont want to be ******* of a man
but sometimes i think......if she really loved me wouldn't she understand im tying to not only do this for me..but her as well
