Telling him I didn't get an abortion like I said?

Hello

Recently I was speaking to somebody, just casually. We ended up meeting for something to eat and then ended up at his and then having sex. A condom was used but it broke halfway through so he took it off and continued sex (we were both very drunk)

I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks later and I told him. He asked me to get rid of it and at the time I was so unsure what to do. My friend had an abortion a few months ago and is always telling me its the worst thing she has ever done and she is not the same person she used to be, I understand that not all experiences are the same but I was scared. I told him I didn't know and that he shouldn't worry (I was trying to act brave for myself) he said its not just my decision and regardless whether hes involved he would still have a kid out there (he said)

We left it for a few days and then he asked me if I was pregnant still, I said yes and he basically was very blunt, he said I was leaving him with no option but to be blunt to me. He said he will not be involved in the babies life and he will not feel bad about it and if I knew him properly I would know that he wouldn't care.

a couple of weeks later I booked an abortion and told him "don't worry I am not keeping it" he said "ok" I had to have an early scan before I got the abortion and after seeing the baby I couldn't do it but I didn't tell him.

I am now 15 weeks pregnant and just had my first official scan and can not do it. I feel like I need to/should tell him but I don't know how as he is going to realize I lied

The judge has to agree and sign the Order, and the child is also represented by separate counsel. We also had a finance expert who calculated the sum - the max monthly amount multiplied by 12 and then by 18 years. It's not that uncommon. It allows the man to terminate rights but still make his financial obligation. Some can have it set up in an annuity or trust and it can spin off the funds month by month - the same amount they would have received if the man was writing a check.

OP when you sobered up in the morning, why didn't you get a morning after pill?

You are truly the most unhelpful, condescending poster I have ever come across and I've been here for a while.

OP, it's your body, your life and your decision. Understand that you might have to go it alone if you have no support from family/friends and if he evades cm but it all comes down to you making an informed decision and one that is best for you. Best of luck!

This man sounds a waste of space. So wrong of him to try to pressure you to abort. He has no right to and you've no need to feel guilty about your choice.

Congratulations op and good luck. Just tell him as he deserves to know but don't let him influence you.

You might want to consider STI tests, don't want to be ill / risk baby if going ahead with pregnancy

Kelly I am so sorry you are in this boat but I want to say congratulations on your pregnancy, because even though it is not what you were planning, children are wonderful.

This man sounds like a total dick and I am sorry he has pressurised you into agreeing to an abortion. You were totally right to change your mind and it is your right and your decision.

I would tell him, as soon as you can, in company of another supportive friend. I would not get into a debate about it. He pressurised you to have an abortion, you agreed and changed your mind, you did not lie. You both had sex with a condom, both carried on when the condom broke and will both be affected by that decision. But he does not get to tell you what to do with your body.

Best wishes.
