How Do I Stop Oneitis for the Mother of My Child?

I'm not sure what details you guys need to know, so I'll give a quick overview:

I'm 19. She's 18.

She's due around August 1st.

I've got BPD and started meds back in March.

We're from Tennessee. Relatively stereotypical southern families involved. We're both from lower middle class families but I've been "adopted" by a couple of upper class families of friends and have lived with them since age 17.

She's got daddy issues, I've got issues with both parents.

We both were about as "high school love" as can be, totally obsessed, until she got pregnant. She got a bit distant and I went way too obsessive, BPD had been around a bit before but I could deal with it. It came in full swing to the point where I had to be hospitalized for three weeks for malnutrition, drug use, lack of sleep, etc.

I had no trouble partying and forgetting women before her. I met her last summer and have been captivated ever since. I don't know why. Other women have come and gone. She's pretty, but not exceptionally beautiful. She's smart, but not exceptionally genius. She's into the same kinks as me, but not all of them. She's often more trouble than she's worth but I've always been obsessed. Banging other chicks, hitting the gym, taking a weekend with the guys, none of it has lessened how I feel towards her.

We've discussed that I still have these feelings towards her and she has told me that they are 100% unrequited. She has said her emotions are all over the place because of being pregnant and she might fall back in love when she's back to normal.

I think this is just some kind of manipulation and am considering telling her that unless she wants to talk about our baby, she shouldn't contact me.

You guys normally have solid advice. I'll answer questions or whatever you guys need, please help me with this. I'm in over my head and could use some advice.

You fucked up. Always wrap the rascal.

Don't marry her.

First thing get a paternity test. Make sure that the kid is yours. If the kid is yours don't say anything about you thinking about how you want to marry her.

Keep at the help for your BPD, and continue treatment. Stay on meds regardless of how you think you are better. When you start feeling better do not be tempted to marry her.

When the baby is born do not marry her.

Lift, eat right, get schooling, learn a skill, trade or something to earn real money, you'll be supporting a kid for the next 18 to 26 years... Yes 26, watch the laws on support now. Why add supporting this cum dumpster?

Next this bitch. Only speak regarding the kid if it is yours.

Do not marry her.

This seems to be the sidebar through an Anger Phase lens.

It boils down to "don't marry her, lift, get educated, you fucked up".

I'm not interested in ever marrying. I'm already lifting. I'm currently an apprentice in a trade and also halfway through a STEM degree. It's too late to not fuck up. I want to take the best course of action now that I've fucked up. Boys and women can lament the fuckup all day long, it's on a man to fix it.

My question is what is the best way to fix it?
