Friend pregnant - needs advice

So a dear friend has just confided in me that she is pregnant. By a married man.

She has been in a "relationship" with him for a long time and I absolutely believe her when she says this wasn't intentional. She plans to have a termination but is unsure about telling him and has asked my advice. I'm worried for her and don't know what to advise

It seems so unfair that she has to suffer this alone but equally my gut feeling is that no good will come of telli g him. I think she is leaning towards his "right" to know but she is relying on me helping her make the right decision and I don't want this to be any worse for her than it will inevitably be.

You said her heart was elsewhere during her marriage, so I presumed she was already seeing the OM or had had her head turned by him.

He reacted badly as he didn't want me to have the baby. He had his eye on someone and didn't want the embarrassment. He also never loved me, which seemed important at the time.

Is there any possibility she isn't pregnant? Is she having to hide any symptoms?

Sorry Annabel that must have been really hard for you Sad

She was involved with the OM prior to her marriage and has told me she wasn't in a physical relationship with him whilst married. I don't know if that is true, I suspect not entirely but I've never felt it's my business....

No doubt that she is pregnant.
