Pregnant, but partner doesn't want it.

Hi Everyone, really looking for some advice, feel so alone.
So me and my partner had a slip up last month, which resulted me in taking the morning after pill. Yet, here I am four weeks pregnant. We have 3 children already, I was really emotional to begin with, however once I really thought about it, I realised actually my life isn't over and we could totally do this! 😂
However my partner is dead against it, told me I should have an abortion and made me feel really guilty saying it will play with his anxiety and depression. To be fair, he doesn't do much with the kids. I do 99% of all the work. He puts our youngest to bed. He's never done a night feed, he doesn't even sleep in bed with me, he sleeps downstairs away from us all.
I've just told him I want to keep the baby and he's kicked off mega big time, saying how angry I have made him, and how upset he is. While I understand he's allowed to feel this way, I've been crying the past 2 days over having to have an abortion!! He didn't give a crap about me being upset?!?! He's honestly so so vile it's ridiculous.

I just need truthful answers, am I being out of order?

Oh mu goodness OP how horrible
Yes absolutely keep the baby if that's what you want. Some shocking comments on this forum waving abortion about like it's as simple as you decided some clothes didn't look good and you return them to the shop!

You posters should be ashamed

If you want baby 4, then keep baby 4. I'm so glad you had the strength to call the police - just don't let him back in now (but I feel like you won't ).

Good luck and I hope it's a happy healthy pregnancy if that's what you want.

PPs who commented on OP laughing and using emoji - come on - she's 4 weeks unexpected pregnant, hormones all over the place, shocked and obviously with a bloody useless man, and you judge a woman who is struggling for using an emoji. Wow that's SO kind of you all.

Your body & your baby OP, its ultimately your decision. Dont have an abortion for him, if you decide to have one it has to be for you. But it doesnt sound like you want one. If he doesnt do much anyway with the other 3 children then it sounds like you'll be fine with another regardless of what he decides to do. Good luck with whatever you choose. x

I know being assaulted is horrific but it has given you the push to get rid of him, get the locks changed so he can't get back in. If you speak to your local council they can offer you someone to come & beef your home security up, put window locks & security lighting up for you.

OP so sorry that you have suffered an assault and also sorry that some posters have it in their hearts to be mean to a woman asking for help. You and your children will be happier without the horrible man. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Flowers
