How Would You Deal With This Situation??

I Cheated On My Boyfriend With An Older Guy, Now I'm Three Months Pregnant And The Father Said He Is Not Ready For A Child, After Going To The Doctors I'm Too Far Along To Get An Abortion And I Really Didn't Want To Get One Just Trying To Make The Father Happy, He's Blaming The Whole Thing On Me Even Though It Takes Two To Make A Baby, Now I Have To Tell My Boyfriend Everything And I Know That Will Be The End Of Us...

Update:

    Take the father to court for child support. The child is entitled to it, whether you need it or want it or not. If you don't need it, put it in a savings account for the baby.

    As far as your boyfriend goes, it's his decision whether to stay or leave, but he's in jail. Doesn't that make you technically seperated when the baby was conceived? If he wanted a woman who was faithful, he shouldn't have commited a crime that had him put in jail. Would he be faithful to you if you were in jail? You can't undo it now, so just do what's best for your baby, and tell your boyfriend now, so he has time to think about it. If he leaves you, maybe it's for the best. You wouldn't want to be dependant on someone who may or may not end up back there again, especially with a baby, and he hardly sounds like he should be judging you.

    *EDIT* I just read some of your other questions. You said your bf who is in jail cheated on you more than once - dump him. You also said you love him, but love yourself more. Good. You should. And you'll love this baby more than you love yourself. Baby doesn't need to be around someone who disrespects his/her Mom. It may be hard, but move on. Don't worry about making men happy. When you find a man who loves you, and you will, just being yourself will make him happy, and you won't want to be with another man. If the guy in jail made you happy, you wouldn't have cheated. Take it as a sign that he's not the man for you or your baby.

    Well, whichever one is the father will have to pay child support and be a father under the law. In the meantime, you need friends and family to support you emotionally and comfort and protect you during this time. You can get a 2nd trimester D&E abortion, but you said you didn't want that. How do you know which man is the father? Either way if you go ahead with the pregnancy, just find support and love in your other family and friends. You will really need them to get through this and be healthy and happy.

    first of all you were wrong for cheating in the 1st place. Don't even think of murdering a poor child with that abortion because its not the child's fault. you have to tell your boyfriend even if it's the end of your relationship. You owe it to him. You made the decision so face the consequences.

    It's not all your fault it does take two. Maybe the baby's dad will come to his senses once the child is born. If he doesn't he may even deny the child so blood test may eventually come up . hopefully its his baby. then he has to be in the child's life because it takes two.

    I wish you all the best. If you need anymore help be free to ask.

    you need to tell him right now, i have a similar thing going on but my husband didn't find out until the baby was 1 1/2 yrs old. i very ashamed of the mistake i made and even thou the baby is 95% likely to be my husband's, there's still a chance. but we are still married and going for a test in a few months to be sure...and even if its not his we're still going to be married and he's still going to be the father. you can either be a grown up and deal with mistakes or lie to him...which is a bad idea, be honest, you may lose him, but you won't be with him consumed by guilt every day.

  • The only thing you can do at this point is be honest and hope for the best. Once someone cheated on me I could never forgive them though. So that's a tough one. I hate saying it because I know everyone screws up, but when you love someone you don't put them in a position to get hurt. ya know. well, good luck!

    Sounds tough. Good luck. Be honest with your boyfriend! And if the fathers doesn't want to be a dad... Take him for child support!

    leave the guy youre with if thes not ready. if he was ready to have sex he should be ready to be a father. tell your boyfriend. its easier said than done i know but dont let any of them stop you from keeping your baby. im a single mom and im only 21. i have 2 sons and this baby of yours will be the best blessing in your life with or without them.

    You have to be honest to the boyfriend. It's not fair to him, because you made the mistake. If it ends the relationship, that's something you'll have to deal with. Every decision you make has a consequence.

    Your biggest concern is being a good mother to this child. The end of you and your boyfriend was your doing, if he decides to stay and raise this baby with you, this is God giving you a second chance, take it and get married and become a better woman. If you let this child, it will help you be a person you can be proud of, we all make mistakes, motherhood is our second chance.
