Question by Sid Singer: [REPOST] Will this end in a Happy Marriage, or Crash and Burn Train Wreck?
This is a repost since my first question was misinterpreted and left out details. So here goes.
This question came up during an after work talk during dinner with my wife about a coworker. PERSONALLY I DO NOT CARE, but I figure this would be a good question for this forum.
These are my wife’s coworkers I meet on a monthly basis for a company “party night”.
Here’s a little about them:
She is 22. Works on commission, and works part time each night at a bar to make ends meet. She is a Party girl. Very fun and free spirited. Looks wise she is a 9. She likes to binge drink and smoke pot when they party. She parties a couple times a week.
The guy is 25 and working minimum wage. Always joking around, and funny (to the point of being annoying). Nice guy but a little idealistic and mildly pushy. He is about 3 on the looks department according to the women. Also a bit of a partier.
I only mention looks since OTHER PEOPLE mentioned it, and some suggested that is why he is moving so fast “to seal the deal”.
The situation is, they have only known each other for 4 months. He was renting, but decided to buy a condo together. He bought the studio condo by maxing out 4 credit cards to get the down payment. He is co signing with a family member to secure the mortgage.
Neither have been married or had a relationship longer than 9 months,
The big bombshell came, when recently she found out she was one month pregnant. Its was unplanned. She has stopped drinking and doing drugs. but that was one week ago.
So the plan has changed from moving into together, to getting their first home, kids, and POSSIBLY (he is on the fence) getting married all in the same year.
Based on this info, what do you think? Do you think this will end well or crash and burn?
Please give reasons for your stance.
Place your bets!

I dunno.. my reflex is to say “crash and burn” since neither of them seems to be particularly responsible. However, if dedicated in their relationship, they might be able to grow and mature together.
