Defend the innocent. It is what people with integrity and noble bearing do. You may want to distant yourself from your man though. Some men get irate when these decisions are made that affect them. Don't tell him in a private venue. Do it in a public environment so he is forced to be civil.

Get a pregnancy test, have a good cry (regardless of the results) and if it is positive call a pregnancy hotline in your country to discuss your options. You must be very scared.
Adoption can be a very positive option for you and your baby.
Kick the boyfriend to the curb, he is treating this like it's all your doing! J-E-R-K! Even if you're not pregnant, this is a great flashing sign to dump him and move on.

Like everyone else said, dump the bf. If he's making you choose between him or your own child, then he's not worth keeping. If he really loved you, he would never ask you to make that kind of decision.

If you don't want the baby, either, give it up for adoption. You will never regret giving birth to your baby whether you keep it or not. But should you have an abortion, it will most likely haunt you for the rest of your life. I'll be praying for you and I hope you will decide according to God's will for you and not your boyfriend's will.

Good Luck!

ya right dump him.. useless.
by the way you should talk to your parents if they are willing to take care of your child n check with yourself are you able to take care of your child without a father? if you can then by all means keep it. if you cant keep the pregnancy , there's a lot of people waiting for a child to be adopted.
its like your helping yourself , the child n the infertility couples/

choose wisely...

bye bye boyfriend. then you should go to a doctor and have a preg test, if you are pregnant, find a counselor to help you get ready to be a single mother, or to help you deal with the eventual seperation when you give the child up for adoption. if you are not pregnant, stay away from the boyfriend because he should not give you an ultimatum to get rid of a life that he helped to create or lose him... really losing him is not a loss, it is a blessing

Dump him! he is an idiot. You should always pick your child over boys. and next time i would wear a condom or don't have sex! Go to the clinic they'll give you a test and see if your pregnant. Thats all the advice i can really give you. Good luck.

I would check to make sure you are pregnant first. And also remember that guys get scared off when they hear their girlfriend is pregnant. If it is a false alarm then you need to be sure that he is the one for you as if it ever was to happen and that was his reaction he truly needs to grow up. If it turns out you are pregnant then if you love him don't let him tell you what to do. It is your body and it is up to you. If he wants no part in it and you want to keep the baby then let him go as he is not ready. Whatever happens good luck and god bless :)

Since you put this question in the adoption category, I hope that means you are seriously considering this as an option.

It doesn't sound like you are ready to be a single mom, and you obviously don't have the support of the father, so the best thing you could do for this child is to allow him/her to be raised by others who would be willing and able to give him/her a good home.

Then, I suggest you dump this cruel loser and avoid having unprotected sex so that this doesn't happen to you again.

Get rid of the idiot and find out if you are pregnant. You can speak to your GP about your options and (s)he will be able to give you more onfo. Would you want this baby if the father was happy about your pregancy?

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



Monty Montezuma
Everybody's right, firstly get the pregnancy confirmed. If it is positive, you've said much about how you're boyfriend feels but nothing about how you feel. He doesn't sound reliable but the fact that you put so much value on what he says means that you are obviously smitten with him or can't see a way forward without him in your life.

However, if you are pregnant it's not just about him. Seek guidance away from him - family, friends, professional. Think what you can cope with, but don't be tempted to factor him into the equation. You need to decide on the basis of him not being there.

Get tested, get advice & think hard & realistically.

I would go to the doctor, or get a pregnancy test to make sure you are pregnant.
Also why doesn't the father want the baby?
It might be perhaps because he doesn't love you.
Or it's too soon in the relationship.
If you are young, I would recommend adoption, or asking your parents or a trusted adult for help.

Ms.Jay
Take a test to find out if you actually are pregnant for starters.

Then if you are, talk to your mum, another family member or your friends because a bunch of strangers on an internet site are not the people who should be influencing a major decision about pregnancy, abortion & whether or not your relationship has a future.

I think you should do what you think is best but bear in mind what your boyfriend has said and question his love for you before you make and rash decisions.

This can happen to anyone! Do not beat yourself up.

It might be an idea to have a pregnancy test. Your doctor can do it for free or you can pop into your local chemist. If you are embarrassed pick one up in a shop that you rarely go to maybe one in another town.

If you discover that you are pregnant then it might be an idea to see a counsellor because you are about to make the biggest choice of your life and you may want unbiased and confidential support.

Do you have a local drop in centre for young people?They often have counsellors or your doctor may have a counsellor attached to the surgery.

You do not say how old you are but you sound frightened and if you think your parents will be supportive or at least reasonable it might help to tell them. Only you can know if its safe to do this.

It pretty much sounds to me like you are in this on your own as your partner sounds very unhelpful and manipulative.

This is a horrible situation for any woman and I wish you lots of luck with your choices.

Its all about what You want to do! If you are pregnant and do decide to keep the baby then you should just get rid of this boyfriend, and even if you arent pregnant/ if you decide to even get an abortion or whatever then get rid of him. he couldn't support you when it's clear that you need him to be there for him. Good luck sweetie

First, find out if you are really pregnant. Take a home pregnancy test(First Response is a good one) or go to Planned Parenthood/a doctor and have a blood test done. Then, the decision is up to you. Your bf does not sound like such a good man; he does not seem to care about what you want and how you are feeling. You should consider breaking up with him, hes causing you pain and that's not the way love is supposed to be.

No one can tell you what to do with the baby; you have to do what's right for you. If you think its wrong to have an abortion and you will be able to give your baby a good life with or without a supportive father, than go for it. If you absolutely can not take care of this child and believe it will suffer due to poverty, neglect, unwanted, its father, etc then it is in the best interest to have an abortion or give the baby up for adoption...but only you, not your bf (hes already disowned the baby) can decide. Good luck.

Well, first I would leave your boyfriend, regardless of what you decide to do it you are pregnant. He obviously doesn't truly care about you. Any guy that asks you to choose between a baby and him, is a baby himself. About the baby, only you can decide that. Nobody can tell you what to do about a pregnancy. I myself don't believe in abortion, if my mother did, I wouldn't be here, and if I did my oldest daughter woudn't be here. You have to figure this one out yourself, and if you aren't pregnant and don't want a baby either stop having sex or use better protection.

First find out if your are pregnant then go from there. If you are pregnant hopefully you have a support system.
If you aren't pregnant i would advice dumping this man. You know how he is now if you did get pregnant. No innocent child deserves this type of guy for a daddy.
