Guys..how would you react?

My ex-boyfriend broke up with me a month ago..

A week ago I found out I was pregnant.

I really don't want to tell him because the break up was bad and he told me never to speak to him again..(he said he couldn't deal with a gf)

I'm not sure if he will react better if I tell him the news now or if i should just wait until my kid is old enough to ask about Daddy to track him down..

What should I do?

Update:

I"m keeping the baby, I have means of taking care of him/her on my own.

    im sure he would make an exception to the whole "dont speak to me" thing to find out you are pregnant

    it doesnt matter what the situation is, you need to tell him.

    1) everyone deserves to know if thye have a child in the world

    2) "I'm not sure if he will react better if I tell him the news now or if i should just wait until my kid is old enough to ask about Daddy to track him down.." that is the most SELFISH thing i have EVER heard. and COMPLETE DSIREGARD for your child. everyone deserves a dad. you child will resent you if you do this.

    it doesnt mean u have too be his girlfriend but now u have to be parents together. u slept wiht him, now tell him he has a child on the way. ASAP. i would recommend abortion for u because you are OBVIOUSLY not mature enough to be a mother

    He should know about his child. Just because he broke up with you doesn't mean he won't be there for his kid (if he's a real man anyway he'll take care of his kid). The child has a right to know who his/her father is and have a relationship with his/her father and the father has a right to know his child and be a part of his child's life.

    honestly, you shouldnt keep the baby, but your motherly instinct takes over and doesnt listen to logic.

    he is going to have to know about this, he is going to FLIP ****, he is going to deny it, tell you to get it aborted, FLIP **** SOME MORE, etc etc

    my advice, text him, and then ignore him for a while, like couple months, avoid him while he goes thru like the 5 stages of acceptance or whatever -- DO NOT surprise him with it, and expect him to be okay with it.

    if you wait until your about half way thru, then he wont tell u to get it as aborted as much, cuz he can obviously see your pregnant and in his mind, it'll be the point of no return, its coming and theres nothing he can do about it

    and get child support immediately lol - always wear condoms if u dont want babies

    i kind of understand where you coming from by not wanting to tell him .. but i would just say it & that way your giving him the option of being in the baby life & letting him know he has a child

    Considering the situation, I think you should ask yourself first if you can raise the child alone. If you can, then they can meet at a better time. If you need him, then wait until he cools off. Hopefully, you get back together before the childbirth.

    I agree with pdooma. You need to tell him. Being with you is not a requirement to be the dad. Then see how he reacts.

    Let him know you are expecting his child.

    At least that way, he has the option to suck it up and be a man, or be a fool and walk away.

    Tell him.

    He doesn't have to be your boyfriend to qualify to be a father. He has the right to know he's a dad, and the child has a right to know his or her father.

    Consider abortion. I know it sounds bad, but it should be on the table.
