Confused - June 26

i am 22 and a christian. my boyfriend is a 34 ER doctor and a muslim. he wants me to have an abortion. (because we are not married) and he is not ready to handle a child. h__lo i am the kid he is 34 and has a great job and what the h__l!! i dont want the abortion and i had a son 2 yrs. ago and foind a great family for him and i cant do adoption again because i want this baby. i just dont know what to do!! we have only been dating for 4 months and we have a great friendship and we care about eachother and just the excuse that he isnt ready to grow up yet and take this on. he seems so mature and level headed and i really was not expecting this!! what should i do? i have not told him that i am keeping the baby yet! he assumes that i am getting an abortion. how do i tell him? and will i survive being a single mom. i hardly make enough money to support myself and he makes a fortune but i dont want to be a begger. confused!!!!

 

Hi - June 27

Funny how he can have s_x without being married...yet to have a baby he has to be! I know since your a christian abortion is not an option. :) It's your decision to keep your baby don't let him influence you not to. Stick to what you feel strongly. If you give in, You might regret it, and blame him. I understand that maybe he feels that way since you've just been together for so little time. I think he's just scared to face reality...but know that there are many single mothers out there! You can make it with or without his support! I think he'll come around. Well tell him once you get an ultrasound...a couple of months into it...(if you can hide it)...or/and put it in a nice gift box (he can open) along with some nice baby shoes (baby clothing etc..that sort)...and a card that reads..."congratulations your going to be a father"! I truelly wish you the best of luck!

It aint gonna happen. Im muslim albeit a rather lapsed one(or else I wouldnt be single and pregnant hehe). And ill tell you this that hes not playing. He is thinking about his parents and not the baby and trust me he doesnt care. Just so you kno in Islam s_x outside of marriage is a big no no more than even in christianity because there are islamic laws that deal with those that have s_x outside of marriage.So dont hope that he will come around. And when he tells you to have an abortion again tell him this : Which is the biggest evil..zina or murder...and tell him that Islam doesnt condone abortion either. But I will say this also...in islam a child thats born out of wedlock isnt even considered the responsibility of the parent. I kid you not so I hope he is not the kind of muslim that is muslim when it suits him because if he is and your words point to that then its going to be hard. All I can say is child support. Make sure that you file for it when you have the baby but if you are low income then you are more than likley on medicaid and in that case the state automatically tries to do child support on the father. Best of Luck and if you need any help email me on hadiha@hotmail.com

 

Hello - July 7

Mature, responsible men usually date women closer to their own age. He was out for a bit of fun- sounds like he got it and then some. Muslim girls don't put out, apparently xtian girls do. But then don't even have the decency to disappear with their shame. Forgive me for being so harsh, but on the bright side you won't be a beggar. You hooked a doc, their pockets usually run deep. As a consulation prize you'll have 18 yrs of child support.

confused, sorry to hear that you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. if you feel that abortion is wrong then do not get one just because he wants you to. i had an abortion for that reason, the father did not feel he was ready for a baby. he was 26 and i was 18, i was young and naive, and i wanted to please him, we had only been together for 2 months. i had the abortion and have lived to regret it. it went against all of my religious beliefs so i never told anyone. i still cry at night for my child. i had another baby 3 years later, as a single mom. it was hard but i love my son with all my heart, and even though i have a baby i still cry for my first child. for me the pain has not gone away and sadly i'm not sure that it will. if you keep the baby you can always ask for child support if you want to. if you want the baby then tell him straight forward, or you can wait and send him a picture of the ultrasound with a card. i wish the best for you and you will be in my prayers. take care.
