[QUOTE="_en1gma_"][QUOTE="MaddenBowler10"] She already said she will not have an abortion and I support her decision, I'm just telling her some things so things will be fine for us and that nothing has to change because of this possibility of a baby.MaddenBowler10

Goodness, man...you need to accept the fact that everything will change once a baby comes into her life. This kind of thought is what caused the pregnancy in the first place.

Why do I have to accept that? I KNOW things will change even before the baby is born, but it doesn't mean i should completely give up on her and stuff. I know she isn't going to want a relationship while she has these things to deal with, but she might appreciate that I'm gonna be there for her when she needs the help and that's always good for the future for us. No point in telling her "well ur pregnant with another guy's baby so im gonna have to leave u"

I want to give it a chance, I like this girl a lot and she means a lot to me and has been basically my life for a while now..no point in ditching her cuz her ex got her pregnant

I think you should just have this topic locked. Things of this nature should be kept within your circle of acquaintances, not to be put out there for thousands of people to see. In many circumstances, your family and your friends offer the best advice -- go to them.

I'm not even gonna barge in on the child even if he's not there, she already told me she wants to do this alone, I just told her I'll be there to help her when she needs it and that im in full support of her decisions. I just want her to realize that even though things will change, that it doesn't need to affect us in anyway since it isn't our child..even tho it willMaddenBowler10
Dont do itt! I know where this is going.

"Oh baby dont worry even if you dont wanna stay with me ill be here to help you and the kid"

you are sounding like trick. Help if the "father" doesnt want to be there but if he does, you leave. You planning on staying around most likely wont end well, especially if the father wants to take care of the kid. But I guess you will have to wait and see or was this already addressed?

yea man, just leave. You already got played as it is and she will continue to play you. ITs now hers and the fathers responsibility now.

The desire is biological. It just seems funny that you bring up this self-control nonsense...it doesn't hold up as an argument against abortion. What world are you living in? The right environment is stable, mature parents with stable jobs. They are 18 and 19...he is going to college to have a FUTURE. Introducing a baby to his life is not exactly the right thing to do. Same with the girl. She should focus on getting an education, not on a baby. She will have many more chances to raise a baby later on...when she gets her life straight. An abortion would solve everything.

Self-control about sex. The "right" thing to do? Is it a "right" thing to do terminate a life just so he can "have a future?" Many more chances, sure, but what about when the girl thinks back about her decision of ending a life? How will she deal with her life then? Wealthy, but mournful? I know I wouldn't want that for my girlfriend. Abortion, like harashawn said, is NOT a "Get out of jail free" card. Rather, the emotional ramifications will be far more detrimental than if she kept the baby. Girls are built more around emotions anyway.

The fact is that it is not good for the baby to be raised by one parent...especially not by an immature one. The best way you can help her is to bring her to reality and make her realize that getting rid of the baby is the most rational course of action.

I think my mother can testify to the contrary, as can many mothers and fathers who've had to raise children alone. You're advice is disgusting, and you are in no position to tell a prospective mother to kill her offspring. I'd really like to know where your experience comes from in this regard.

Well regardless of the romantic involvement of the situation, be there to help even if the relationship ends. This is my own opinion, but kicking her to the curb because she's pregnant is a TERRIBLE and SELFISH thing to do.

The romantic involvement has always been there since the beginning, she still hasn't kicked that out of the question but she could very well be doing that by getting space between me and her in the past few weeks although she has been busy with school. I'm gonna try to talk to her one of these days and get some clearer answers on what she wants out of me instead of just assuming.

Indeed. I'm not saying my advice is perfect either, but other users are insisting on you being selfish. Do not listen to them. For you and her's sake, and for the baby's sake.

no it is not. One can take care of babies and raise them well all by themselves or with other family members. Getting rid of it doesnt automatically solve everything. What if she has a mental break down and bad dreams because shes nuked her child? Abortion isnt always easy. Id say, keep the child, there are millions of singles moms that have raised their child well all by themselves or with other family members. She can do the same.

If he loves her, than why would he be selfish? Isn't that the whole point of love to be selfless?

Guys, I appreciate those who are helping me and even though alot of it isn't what I want to hear. It's hard for me to just let her go and stuff, I know it's always possible we could get back together and stuff but it won't happen if she's having a child. At least not any time soon. I want to be with this girl , whether she has another guy's child or not. It's not the end of the world, and certainly not the end of my relations with her. Her focus is on whether she is pregnant, not to be with a guy right now, and to try to get done with school. My focus is to get back on track with her, which is talking to her more often and hanging out and having a good time ..you know? This pregnancy thing will get in the way if it's true, but I don't see why it should make me back away. I appreciate everyone's thoughts on this, but I already know I don't want to leave her. I'm not that type of guy

He should be empathetic and compassionate not self-serving and egotistical. If he truly loves her, he will stay with her through thick and thin. He's already decide to do thus, and I applaud him for that.

Your right, the emotional ramifications of her aborting the child and having a bright future where she can live well and take care of her future children properly will be so much worse than having the child and having to leave school and live the rest of her life in a terrible dead end job wondering what could have been.

I would definitely leave her since that would make her completely different from me, but that's just me. If that's the kind of mistake you would be willing not only to forget, but you would also still be willing to marry her, or if you're the kind of guy that makes girls pregnant by mistake, then by all means stay with your soulmate. Go ahead and stay with her if that's the kind of life you want, I'm not gonna stop you... But you should ask yourself if she really is the girl for you, and I don't mean physically or romantically.

My brother had a somewhat similar situation happen to him, except that the baby ended up being his. (He was being cheated.) Anyway, this is definitely not the same type of situation, but I think YOU need some time to think. A weekend, week, whatever it takes. We are, after all, just dudes on an internet forum. Ultimately it's your life. I just encourage you think of her if you truly do LOVE her. But again, that is hard to tell since you've only been dating for three months. Take your time though. THINK clearly and logically, but also morally as well. Best of luck to you, man! God bless you, your girlfriend, and her child! :)

It is a matter of SHOULD she? I understand that it is possible...but the truth is that marriage exists in the first place to give the child a stable family environment to grow up in. It isn't easy, and I am not suggesting ONLY abortion. I believe she should focus on her own life before she raises another life. She just is not old enough._en1gma_
Not everyone believes in abortion. Nonetheless, she shouldn't enter into a relationship solely due to having a child. It won't last.

I don't post often but this has really made me want to express some words. Just quit trying to be with her. You are trying to get with a girl that is not worth it IMO. She already said that she wants to do things on her own and I agree that you should be there for her during her pregnancybut as a friend only and nothing else. You are 19 and in college and Im damn 100% sure you will find someone else. There is no need to try and be with someone who obviously doesn't want to be with you. You said that you haven't seen much of her in 4 weeks because she needs space? Dude that is one of the oldest excuses a girl can give you for not wanting to be with you without trying to hurt you.

MaddenBowler10

I can't believe that's what you're asking... But to answer your question, you should worry about her killing herself if she's suicidal... Why would you want to spend your life with someone who wants to kill herself? Do you want to kill youself too?

Having a child while your future is "bright" does not negate ending the first baby's life FYI. In fact, what defines what's bright? Wealth? Look at the suicide rates of wealthy people. Wealth =/= happiness. If anything, having other kids down the road would ADD to the loss.

Yeah I know...I already proposed adoption as well. You are exactly right.

If more mothers adopted to well-deserving parents who CAN'T have children, the world would be a much happier place imo. I agree 100% about adoption.

[QUOTE="_en1gma_"] It is natural that the proper environment for raising a baby is one with stable parents. I don't find my advice disgusting at all and I am not even talking to mother right now. I would handle it completely different if I were talking to her. I'm sorry if I offended you for being realistic. You are not in a position to ask me of my past experiences. Please respect my privacy.

You are not in a position to tell the OP what he should do, nor are you in any position to advise his girlfriend to have an abortion. You do not know them, and you do not have any experience to draw from. Your words are just empty, and you're just giving lip-service to the abortion cause, which only seems to undermine your advice even more.

What's bright? Going to college, pursuing the career and life that will make you happy, being financially stable, etc. Where the hell did wealth come into this? She should have a kid when she is ready for one. Period.

_en1gma_

That's your definition of bright. And also, she shouldn't be having sex until she's ready to bring a child into this world.

The problem is that you can never know 100% that the the parents will raise the kid well, but it is still a good option.

That's true, but I definitely think the child should have the right to life.

Wait, so she's claiming to have been pregnant for 2-3 months yet just now she missed her period?

Chick's cheatin' on ya, bud.

Read through the rest of the thread... pregnant women still get vaginal bleeding.

Yeah, but not due to periods.

Yeah... vaginal bleeding during pregnancy can be very similar to or the same as a period in regards to amount and length and interval/duration between. Did you know when women are on the pill the bleeding they get isn't really a period either? The period / menstruation by definition is when it involves the bleeding of the uterine lining (and usually along with the unfertilized egg) but since certain vaginal bleeding occur when one is pregnant or on the pill - women still call it a period. Hey if you can distinguish the difference then good for you.

[QUOTE="battlefront23"][QUOTE="redstorm72"] Your right, the emotional ramifications of her aborting the child and having a bright future where she can live well and take care of her future children properly will be so much worse than having the child and having to leave school and live the rest of her life in a terrible dead end job wondering what could have been._en1gma_

Having a child while your future is "bright" does not negate ending the first baby's life FYI. In fact, what defines what's bright? Wealth? Look at the suicide rates of wealthy people. Wealth =/= happiness. If anything, having other kids down the road would ADD to the loss.

What's bright? Going to college, pursuing the career and life that will make you happy, being financially stable, etc. Where the hell did wealth come into this? She should have a kid when she is ready for one. Period.

If she wasn't ready for a kid, then she shouldn't have had sex. Being a hedonist is not a good replacement for being virtuous, nor does a career, degree, and being financially stable invariably lead to happiness. When she is 40 and has all those things, will she be happy never knowing how her first born will have grown up?

Hey if you can distinguish the difference then good for you.

Through text, if somebody says "period" then I take them to mean an actual period. If her actual period stopped just recently, she hasn't been pregnant for two months.

And bleeding during pregnancy is not common at all, so I'm hardly expected to assume that it's something else when it's a condition that happens only in relatively few cases.

I worked with someone that didn't know she was pregnant until she was 6 months along. Everything seemed the same to her.....

[QUOTE="_en1gma_"][QUOTE="TheAbbeFaria"][QUOTE="_en1gma_"] It is natural that the proper environment for raising a baby is one with stable parents. I don't find my advice disgusting at all and I am not even talking to mother right now. I would handle it completely different if I were talking to her. I'm sorry if I offended you for being realistic. You are not in a position to ask me of my past experiences. Please respect my privacy.

You are not in a position to tell the OP what he should do, nor are you in any position to advise his girlfriend to have an abortion. You do not know them, and you do not have any experience to draw from. Your words are just empty, and you're just giving lip-service to the abortion cause, which only seems to undermine your advice even more.

Oh the irony... I am merely discussing this with him and trying to help him out. I never claimed I knew them. Why are you replying to me as if you know where I'm coming from? Back off. Done talking to you.

No one, including myself, is in any position to tell the OP what he should do, not irony but hypocrisy, but you especially are guilty of this because you're advocating for the death of a child.

Oh I suppose you can tell the difference? And Theokoth - read through the thread again... it is normal. Spotting and bleeding is normal. Excessive bleeding is not.
