I found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago to my boyfriend of 3 years, I had been finding the right time to tell him when I found out that he had been seeing another girl behind my back. I confronted him about this and he reckons nothing happened it was just a date and he feels awful about meeting her. I took his word for this and then told him I was pregnant, he was shocked at first but was quite excited at the prospect too and said he would be there to support me on whatever decision I make. However now he is pleading with me to get an abortion saying that we are not in the right position to have a child and that our relationship isn’t strong enough. Before I told him I felt that abortion was not an option I was considering as I really don’t think I can go through with it. I’m now torn in what to do now as I was considering keeping the baby but now I am very hurt because of his deceitfulness and am wondering whether I can trust him again and also is he right that it would be unfair to bring up the child, even though I love him more than anything he obviously just does not feel the same. Can anyone help?

I'm impressed by the fact that you have been together for 3 years. Yes, guys do have eyes for other women, but looking and touching are different matters. At least the two of you are still communicating. My guess is that he has gotten cold feet about the relationship because becoming responsible for a child (and wife) is more than he can handle. How about the two of you sit down with pencil and paper and figure out what your budgets and careers will look like, with or without a child, with or without marriage, with or without parental support. Perhaps your decision will become clear during the process.
