Pregnant and boyfriend is about to leave us?

I have to assume by the attempt at no sex before marriage, you mean religiously as in from a Christian standpoint? If so, well then according to your faith, you've already sinned, so do what you need to do to make things right with your god - repent, ask for forgiveness, whatever your beliefs are.

The rest of this isn't really a religious issue.

For goodness sake, such relationship issues shouldn't be discussed through text messages. Get together and talk it out face to face.

In any relationship - there will be misunderstandings, disagreements, and tough times. For goodness sake, if he's not adult enough to realize this, or even to understand that you aren't quite yourself while pregnant...if he's going to bail out every time there's a bump in the road, then perhaps you are better off without him. However, not marrying you does not mean he should get out of his responsibilities as the father of this child. Get some legal help with this and hold him accountable.

I totally understand your fear. Ultimately the decision is up to you. Is asking advice from strangers online really the way to go? We only have part of the story here, and we don't know anything else about your personal life. You have options. Of course there's adoption if you are absolutely sure you don't want to be a single Mom. (I'm also assuming that from a Christian standpoint, abortion is not an option for you based on your religious beliefs.) But if you want to keep your baby, rest assured that while it won't be easy (being a parent is never easy no matter the circumstances), plenty of women have done just fine being single moms. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I would recommend seeking some counseling if you really need some help figuring this out for yourself. Talk to your doctor who may be able to hook you up with the extra assistance you need to get through this.

Best wishes.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's a lot of pressure you're experiencing. I can understand your fears.

You'll need to think very carefully about your options. I know it's hard to do when emotions and hormones are raging. Think about whether you really want him in your life. Would he be a good father? Would he be a good husband?

Inform yourself about all of your rights. He has a responsibility too. Does he work? Can you get child support?

Do you have any family members who can or will help you? You could also consider adoption.

These are all questions you'll need to ask yourself. I'm sorry I can't tell you "religiously" what to do as I doubt I share your religious views. But I'm sending positive thoughts your way and hope everything goes well for you.

You two don't sound ready for marriage, if you fight now the added stress of raising a child together with little money will make your life a misery.

You have three options: carry to term and raise the child as a single parent, carry to term and put the child up for adoption or abortion. Only you can decide which is right for you. Contact your local Children's Aid Society. They have counsellors who will help you decide which option is right for you.

If you do decide to carry to term you will need to see a lawyer. Your boyfriend will need to pay child support if you keep the child and needs to agree to adoption and both those things will involve lawyers.

Good luck to you with your decision.

dont have the baby if your going to have that attitude. religiously eh? well maybe i should tell you the truth and it may hurt, there is no god and when you die thats it, just like animals. if you have an abortion that doesnt mean your going to hell, just that you want to have some money saved and a man first

Adoption...
