My partner has been trying to get me to have an abortion for few weeks now. He doesn't want this child as he feels it will stop him becoming w pilot.
However he won't walk away but says am forcing him to have a child, any help?
Also me and his mother work together an she went round work telling everyone I'm trapping him and that it's not to late to have an abortion
An it's apparently me who needs to apologise for having ago at her saying things like that to OUR work colleagues.
I just don't know what to do am not ready to forgive , I have advised I won't stop them seeing my child
Help?

It's your choice.

I don't know that your relationship will survive either way.

Obviously his mother is not someone you want to engage with at this time. You have bigger things to think about.

Also, there are far too many experiences like yours (not your fault!). But abortion clearly opens the way for a new kind of extortion. It doesn't automatically lead to greater choice when you're hounded for making it like this.

I've been in your situation. The advise I was given was, you will always have your child..men can come and go. You will never regret having your child but you could regret having an abortion. You don't need him.

OP this is your choice to make. It’s your body and it’s your mental health. If you can’t see yourself having an abortion then don’t do it. I agree with @greta2020 ‘you will always have your child etc’.. his mother is completely out of order telling your work colleagues. Think long and hard about what you want but go with your heart. I’m so sorry you are going through this OP xx

Don’t be pushed into an abortion if you don’t want to have one. No woman should be pressured into having an abortion. As for MIL, wow, no words for that situation. Make the decision that’s right for you & what you want. Are are prepared to bring up a baby on your own? Good luck with whatever choice you make Flowers
