In turmoil

I’m booked in for a surgical termination next week. I’ll be about 8 weeks.
I already have children and I’m in a nice(albeit new) relationship with someone. He is adamant he doesn’t want this baby as the timing is all wrong for him. He wants us to start a family in the next couple of years. I’ll be 43 by then which concerns me.
My main reason for this is I had a one nighter with someone after we briefly ended things. Stupid stupid thing to do. I was upset and very drunk. The other man pulled out(I know it’s not foolproof) but I’m worried this baby could be his. I was having regular sex with my partner and he never pulled out. I was taking contraception at the time too.
What a total mess. I’m just going to have to go through with the abortion aren’t I? I’m so sad about it as I very much want to have this baby.
Any advice would be lovely

What if you had the baby and then did a DNA test by swiping a bit of his hair or something? Not sure if it's possible/allowed but if it is it would put your mind at ease.

Oh this has definitely crossed my mind! Don’t think I’d actually do it though!

If you don't want to terminate, please don't. You will regret it for years after like I do!!! 😥 he will adapt to having the baby. But if you terminate you might grieve forever
