but in marriages there are no fool proof guarantee at all that if kamo ba jud (bsan makasal pa mo). I've seen couples who had a lifelong journey together.. but their destination didnt end as they would expect it to be... life offers no assurances and guarantees at all...
My take on your case? assure the father of you GF that you will stick in your responsibility nga panagutan nimo ang imong nabuhat sa ilang anak. Also talk to him man to man... that though your as much as willing to stand for the responsibility you are in.. you are are still shaky in the finances that might involve bringing a life to this world... Assure him that as soon as you can find a job AFTER school, you would support your child and if the case maybe(that is, if your decided still) to marry their daughter. Tell all this plans first to your mom and bring her also when your going to tell it to the father of your GF. Your mom can back you out with your plans.
Tell her dad again, pahumana sa ko sa akong studies, then I can support your daughter. Marriage is not the end to the means.. and surely not the means to the end... there are a lot of solutions that can be done, other than concluding dayon nga pakasal dayon mo.
You just need the guts and the conviction to tell your plans to her dad. It is up to the dad to say otherwise.
Again, ayaw pag duha2x do nga basin d nimo makaya.. kay dili lang ikaw ang nahitaboan ani.. many had experience this problems of yours.. and many have come out unscathed...
Be strong, be a man of your words. (Makita na sa amahan unsa ka nga type nga laki through your words and actions)
Good luck!!!
