Pregnant and alone

e just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Here I am excited and happy to tell my partner. His reaction. Get rid of it. After numerous arguments he says that if I keep it we will co parent it, broken up. I feel hurt, sad and alone. We have been together for 15 mths and I don't want to have an abortion. Should I leave him now?

I think only you can make that decision sweetie.
He sounds like a bit of a dick to be honest and really quite a nasty position to put u in.
Thing is -you keep baba, you'll not be together.
If you have an abortion then you will more than likely resent him and you'll end up split anyways.
It is really a decision that only you can make but sounds like your bf is very immature.

100% leave him. I know it sounds easy for me to say but you have made it clear that you do not want an abortion. To have one when you don't want one could and would have terrible effects on you. At the end of the day, whatever protection you might have been on, nothing is 100% and if you're sexually active, pregnancy is always a possibility - surely he knows that?

He's entitled to his opinion obviously as it is his child also but at the end of the day, you both did the deed knowing, however small the pregnancy was a possibility. You are the one carrying this baby and you would have to be the one who dealt with the after effects of an abortion.

I know it's scary but there is so much support for mothers now. If you come to the decision that you want to have an abortion and it's the right thing for you then definitely do what you need to for your peace of mind.

I'm 100% pro choice but at the moment it doesn't sound like your choice. Good luck Thanks

I was/aim in a similar situation. I realised that if I aborted, we'd be over anyway (knowing your partner doesn't feel committed enough to want a baby with you after almost 4 years isn't good). I decided to keep.

Go with your gut instinct, its always right, we sometimes forget to listen to it.
