Part of me wants to roll my eyes, part of me is glad they are working it out for their child they have together. Hopefully it's a long engagement.
 
I have to say the minute I read that, I rolled my eyes, haha. You are not the only one who finds it silly. Personally, I think those kids need to grow up first before the go down that road. And BTW, if your mommy makes all your decisions for you, probably another sign of not being ready. :Up_to_something:
 
I guess Kathy Griffin isn't very happy right now, lol. I don't usually watch her show, but I caught one episode recently where she went to visit him in Alaska, kept saying she was in love with him, etc. It was pretty funny/awkward to watch!

I just saw that one yesterday. Actually, I got sucked into watching a marathon. I think it's becoming a guilty pleasure. Anyway, I'm surprised that they're engaged. I didn't know Bristol and Levi were still seeing each other -- I thought they didn't like each other any more and were only in touch because of their baby (Trip, right?).
 
I heard this today and was gobsmacked.They've been trashing each other in the press for months now. They should just date for now.
 
weren't they 'engaged' before. I think that's what they call dating, lol.I would not assume it leads to marriage. The cynic in me thinks he ran out of gigs / $.

I was shocked when I saw that this morning! If they've worked out their issues and have both grown up, more power to them. Bristol seems like a very hands on and good mom. It won't be a long engagement though- they plan to get married in 4-6 weeks, but they aren't not living together and are practicing abstinence (or so they say).
 
I thought things ended really badly?!? Guess I am out of the loop! I love Kathy Griffin and I am sure she will be very vocal about this marriage! Personally I think HAPPY parents are more important than MARRIED parents but hopefully they will be both.
 
I heard they were back together, but engaged? I think it is admirable to try to work it out, but being together only for the child has never made sense to me.

I was at the book signing when Kathy Griffin was up here, she kept talking about how she had a special guest and then she brought out Levi...ugh, I was not impressed. He was in my picture too, I don't need him in my picture!

I agree with that SOOO much. There were times in my life where my parents were unhappy with each other and I always hoped they weren't staying together just because of me and my brother. I think, looking back, it was just rough patches and that they really are happy to be together, but unhappy parents has a huge negative affect on kids.

Re: Bristol and Levi... I too thought they weren't in contact. This seems like a quick step. The "practicing abstinence" makes me laugh... you already have a kid together, I think the damage has been done.

(Note: not that any child is "damage", but getting pregnant is pretty much worst case scenario for sexually active teens.)
 
Also what's the Levi, Kathy situation....? We don't have cable... I guess I missed that.
 
I wish them all the luck (truely)...but how I come I feel like this is a disaster in the making? I hope they learn
how to fight fair, not be jealous and respect one another (not much to ask right :lol: )?

pinkstars, you must be in Alaska too :)
I saw the couple holding hands at Forever21 a couple weeks ago so I wasn't surprised. I honestly hope the best for the child involved but these kids are looking for attention and to make a quick buck. I am sure there is a reality TV show in the works :sick:
Give me a break...

I am in Alaska! :D
 
I really hope their decision to get married is one that is well thought out and mature and not just doing what they feel is "expected" of them. I hope it works out for them, i really do.

That being said, I think this is one big ole hot mess waitin' to happen.
 
Hasn't he already proved he's a jackass? Kid or not, WHY would she want to marry him after he dissed her and her family?

This has disaster written all over it. I give it a year. Two tops.
 
I imagine they are getting married pronto because of Bristol's new vow of abstinence-until-marriage. Easier to adhere to if they tie the knot super-speedy. Sigh... I do wish them the best. They have a (cute!) little boy to raise, and are barely not-children themselves.

HollyS, because they are teenagers in LUUUVVV. Disaster in 1-2 years seems so far away. :roll: Also it seems a lot of the public drama was between Levi and SP, not Levi and Bristol (well okay, they had child support and visitation drama but the most vituperative stuff was not between the former lovebirds). Levi might have been acting like a 19 yro jacka$$, but Sarah didn't have to dish back on the father of her grandchild. SP could have held her tongue and been the adult rather than spewing off retaliatory press releases. I can see how Bristol might have felt caught in the middle between her former boyfriend/baby-daddy and her mom, rather than feeling like Levi was attacking *her*. But who really knows what goes on in other peoples relationships, since there is a lot of reading between the lines involved.

From my understanding it was Levi himself who wanted to reconcile/propose. And as far as I know, he hadn't taken any such vows haha!So he would have been free to date other people. But I agree there is something fishy about this. Like why get engaged? Why not just start dating again to repair some of the damage? To get people to take your relationship seriously? Who knows.
 
I wish them the best. But like many of you, when I heard this I was like :rolleyes:
 
Nash, I meant given that they want to get back together and give their relationship another go, getting married is the logical step. They were already engaged once, and they were having a sexual relationship. Given Bristol's recent public vows of abstinence until marriage, to give another go at a serious relationship with Levi it seems like getting married is unfortunately something that needs to happen earlier rather than later. GREAT argument for not vowing abstinence-until-marriage, if you ask me, but maybe it will put some pressure on them to stay together and take real steps toward making their relationship work, and relieve some of the pressure not to be caught sleeping over together if they were to get back together without getting married...

See, I think in this situation, marriage isn't the next logical step, it's maybe like the most logical step after many other steps have been taken, you know? There's a great quote in The Karate Kid: "First learn stand, then learn fly." I think in order for this marriage to work, they both probably need to take a bit more time to evaluate what went wrong the first time (yanno, despite getting pregnant during mom's conservative republican campaign) and resolve some of the anger issues that are seemingly being brushed under the carpet.

I do understand what you mean about maybe marriage giving them a more concrete reason to stay together, I just hope for the baby's sake, it doesn't have the opposite affect.
 
Oh that's adult thinking Nash! Make sure their relationship is strong and rebuilt *before* they get married?!?

Really though, sad as it is, I think if they want to rebuild and strengthen their relationship, getting married gives them a bit more space to do that. Not the order I would choose or impose on them, but they have some constraints to deal with. If they want to have an adult relationship and honor Bristol's abstinence until marriage pledge, they have to get married. They already had a sexual relationship and already have a kid, I don't know that the most important thing for them to do is try to get back together and strengthen their relationship and co-parent their kid while remaining abstinent. Or pretending they are abstaining for other people and the cameras. Maybe they don't need that stress, and maybe the physical stuff will help their relationship. It might not be enough, but sex is important!

At least, I have seen a several young Christian couples get married quite young with short courtships/engagement periods and I can't help but think that sex is motivating some of the haste.

Callisto -- Kathy Griffin has a reality show called "My Life on the D-List" on Bravo and on sevreal episodes, she talks about the major crush she has on Levi. She went to Alaska to do a comedy show, and she met up with Levi while she was there. It was pretty funny.
 
This is a young woman who has a child (and talks about it publicly all the time) who now wants to practice "abstinence until marriage". My first thought is "get over yourself". :rolleyes:

Well, gosh, but that's pretty much what her whole family is about isn't it? Being in the public eye and getting as much attention as possible? And money of course. I'm waiting to see the financial angle on this. I wonder if the day will ever come when I DON'T have to see Bristol Palin's sex life or conspicuous abstinence, plastered front and center of every news outlet on the web.
 
Ha, wow, quickest re-engagement and re-break up ever!
 
That wasn't an engagement. That was a derangement.
