I am 5 weeks pregnant and found out on Thursday. I was absolutely delighted. I'm 32 and have wanted children forever but never met the right man to settle down with.
...and I still haven't. I had a fling with the father.
I told him today and he is begging me to not have this baby. He doesn't want children and doesn't want to be involved. There's also an added complication around a legal issue / trust that means he loses a lot if he has a child reach the age of 18.
I don't want to ruin his life, but I want this baby. I am in a good position, with a lovely home, good job (with mat benefits), and strong support system. And I want this.
He is begging me not to, and he's saying it's not fair on a child to have it and it not have a proper father. He says I should abort and then 'do it properly' with someone who wants a family.
Am I crazy to think I can do it on my own? Am I heartless to inflict this on him?
