I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I am almost 6 weeks pregnant. I told my boyfriend the news, and he threw a complete tantrum, telling me we would resent the baby for "ruining our lives" and that we don't make enough money to raise it well. He wants me to have an abortion and is almost bullying me into it, saying there is no other option and that if I do have it he will never see me or "it." We have been together for a little more than 2 years, both have a steady income, and have talked about having children eventually. I know it's a big surprise and that a good amount of men react this way out of fear and insecurity. I have had an abortion in the past and am really not open to another one, but I'm terrified of going through pregnancy
and raising a child alone. Does anyone have any good advice for me? I would really appreciate it.

Tough decision! This guy does not sound like a lifelong partner. Perhaps you should a__sume that he will not be part of your lfe, no matter which way you jump. Consider that you will end up only having a few children, and they all deserve the best start you can give them. GL!

Let it play out. There is always another option, adoption being one. If he changes his mind and sticks around good for him. If he doesn't, his mistake.
