My boyfriend does not want a baby

I just found out I was pregant on Friday. My boyfriend is 42 and I am 39. He says that he cannot do it, and I knew how he felt about children. We were not using contraception, he knew I would like a kid, but now he is blaming me for being pregnant. I feel very let down, and pretty scared about going it alone. Anyone else had anything similar?

Thanks I have told him I don't want to see him as it just upsets me and I have enough hormones running around at the moment (only 51/2 weeks)!!! even his texts wreck my head although they are sweet. I need to cut myself off from him for a whilde. I just want to be surrounded by people who are positive and supportive which I am lucky to have. The finance thing worries me though. My work is contractual, I go in and do research and strategic planning for companies, and my current contract is up end of April. Bit stressed about trying to have to find a job when obviously pregnant and dealing with a future of single parenthood.

he should have had the snip if he felt this way. he donated the sperm so is 50 percent responsible.

it's your pregnancy now and you should decide what YOU want to do (but don't count on him sticking around or being much of a dad).

You haven't done anything wrong. He knew you weren't on the pill, he decided to go for a very unreliable method of contraception when there are pretty reliable male ones (condoms) and very reliable male ones (the snip) available to him. His fault, not your problem, enjoy your pregnancy and baby, feel no guilt.
