I want it, partner doesn't

I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant 2 weeks ago, I’m on my way to my first doctors appointment since finding out. The baby wasn’t planned, but in my eyes, it’s a beautiful thing

I told my partner of 4 years on Saturday, and his first reaction was ‘you’re not having this baby!’ I was shocked and he didn’t really give me a chance to say that I want this baby. His reasons were, we will be unable to get married or buy a house when we have a baby and its not in our plan to have a baby now. He says get rid of it now, and we will try again in 2 years. I think getting married and buying a house can wait an extra year, as I do not want to get rid of this baby. I think if i was to have an abortion, I would regret it.

He asked me to apologise because I have not taken his feeling into account, I’ve listened to what he has said, but why should I apologise when it’s me that is going through this.

The stress is getting too much, and I don’t want to make myself or the baby ill. I want to keep this baby, but I also don’t want to lose my partner. Will he come around?

Xx

@CrmbleBee It was a generalisation but actually useful tip :) All I meant was it's bloody hard to 100% safeguard against pregnancy. It is always an option albeit a teeny one....

I think you are lucky to find out how selfish your partner is before you get married or buy a house with him. I can't believe his reaction... Focus on you and your baby, take a decision based on what you want, not what he wants. Your body, your baby!
