Should I Keep My Baby

nexusbutterfly - December 30

I'm 23 and my boyfriend is 20. We've been together a relatively short amount of time and over Christmas, I found out that I was pregnant. To start with, my boyfriend was really excited and supportive but now he's completely freaking out about it (mainly because of money) and won't listen to anything I have to say on the matter. He says he wants to be fully responsible for me and the baby if I keep it and not have any support from either of our families; regardless of the fact our families would support us anyway. He says he isn't ready for this and wants to wait at least another 6 months before trying for a baby but the problem is; I never thought I could get pregnant and I really cannot bring myself to have an abortion. I think our relationship could be really good but I know I will resent him if I get rid of this baby and break up with him over it. I already knew I wanted to keep it and I know my friends and family will be there no matter what. I know my boyfriend is scared but he doesn't realise how stressful and upsetting this whole situation is becoming. Just because he isn't ready for a baby and I am, does that make it okay for me to want it? I'm so confused.

Of course you want to keep the baby - what woman does not? This is what life is all about. Can you get him to agree to set the matter before both sets of parents and abide by their decision? Is it possible that he is not convinced this is a relationship that is going to last, and fears being trapped? If that is the case you may have to consider whether you can manage on your own. Difficulty in conceiving may be anotheer factor - could this be a heaven-sent opportunity which may not repeat?
