If she has the child, don't be an absentee father. Also, it's not the end of the world. Yes, financially it will be tougher, but you will still have your life to live.
 
I know, I'm just saying its not outside the realm of possibility. Don't want to give him false hope.

I was posting from my phone, so I wasn't trying to come across like that on my first post. It's definitely something he needs to look into if she does decide to keep the baby though.

Yeah dude sex is not a joke. It can come with serious consequences and if she decides to keep it then you be there for her and the kid and be a man. This is literally the most critical thing you can do in your life if this happens and you have a responsibility.

Also an abortion can be a very traumatic experience and she needs more support than a text message can give. This should be obvious, but go talk to her, she might cry, have her back no matter what she chooses and explain what the options are then.

Depends, are you in college? Going to college? Young?

Just kidding, doesn't matter where you are. Abort that mission. You gotta convince her you guys would be shit parents and would miss out on some responsibility free life.

Be savvy, but seriously, this is a life sentence, if you don't want it be slick and talk her out of keeping it.

Flawless answer. It's her body, let her decide.

i would be ok with this it's her body stuff if the dude was relieved of all responsibility, otherwise it's just selfish and sadistic.

this seems like a 20th century attitude, i don't like it.
 
Unprotected sure, but all sex? That'd be silly.

I have a pair of friends who became pregnant despite using both a condom and birth control.

No contraceptive is 100%. Should you expect to have a kid when having protected sex? Of course not. But anyone who is sexually active should at least be aware of the fact that things like this and STDs are still something they may have to deal with, and by deciding to have sex should be prepared to deal with the consequences that may arise.
 
watch the juno movie :)
I am always pro-life especialy if you love her,
can you imaging a little mini you a reflection or your love :)

It's so cute man,
I hope you guys give the little girl or guy a chance :)

Movies are not real life, nobody said anything about love, and watching Ellen Page pretend to be pregnant does not turn a fuckbuddy into a wife. OP just got way drunk and had stupid sex with some girl he had no relationship interest in.

I'm not saying what I think they should do either way, I'm just saying your post is silly
nonsense
. Keep it real!

She found out she was pregnant two weeks after you guys had unprotected sex? Sounds a little fishy timewise.


Please find out if the baby is yours.


Hate to say it and it isn't going to be easy (especially if it turns out that it really is yours), but they're right. If it was really only two weeks between the sex and her telling you she's pregnant, confirm paternity.

Oh and congrats on the sex.

Great, now we have paranoid tinfoil hat accusatory GAF stepping in to say she's faking it or lying

If she decides to keep the child not doing the dna test would be pretty damn stupid. Even doing one when one's married is a good idea, let alone for single hook up screw up

I don't entirely agree with these "just support her decision" comments. It should be his decision too, gonna affect him for the rest of his life. If you want that abortion, make sure you want it loud and clear.

He should voice his concerns, but at the end of the day she's the one carrying the little bastard for nine months.

How old are both of you? What are you doing? Work school pro-gamer?

Edit - ok 24 21

Im just in school, and work. I basically live paycheck to paycheck and have a dead end job. She is in school to be a hair stylist and lives with her parents. When she told me she was pregnant she made it very clear she was broke which is kind of a trend for her.

Because like it or not, she gets the final say. Even if some guy wanted to keep it, and she didn't, guess who wins.

I mean I'm not saying persuade or coerce her, but just make her aware how much raising a baby costs.

I don't think you're obligated to sit back and say "do whatever." Ultimately it's her choice but remind her choosing to keep it would have long term ramifications for both of you AND the child. So I think it's fair to try to convince her that an abortion would be best if you don't want anything to do with the kid. If she's concerned about feeling bad afterwards, you can show her that study that says 95% of women have no remorse. Also offer to put up all the money of course.

I mentioned it will be really hard for them, but I believe it's worth the sacrifice they will go through in the next year.

Just typical poor advice

TC you should be honest now, say what you really think. Because there wont be another time to say it. No matter how unpopular your opinion is, you have to let her know what you think of it.

Do not just blindly agree to whatever she says. You are a human being too.

If he wants to be a father...great, but forcing yourself when you don't want to is terrible idea. Children need to be loved, not have a father that is miserable whenever he has to spend time with them.
Fathers need to provide financially for their kids. Everything else is entirely up to them. It's best if they want to be a part of child's life, but some people are just not suited for that.

it's her body and her choice. She's gonna have to deal with emotions for the rest of her life while this dipshit will just stick his dick into another drunken chick in a few months

but seriously, while it is ultimately her choice, you should definitely make sure she knows you're not really prepared to raise a child with her.

disagree with this, having a babby or not should be decided by the dude and the lady. fun sex shouldn't ruin your life.
He decided to possibly take on that responsibility when he chose to have unprotected sex, he can say he would prefer an abortion but at the end of the day he has no say what she decides to do with her body.

The state will hook them up every month with some money. Doesn't seem like much at first, however if he has a couple more babies with her, that's when the money starts adding up.

Im kind of freaking the fuck out right now. There is a girl I used to have sex with, she kind of wanted more but I just wanted to keep it casual, and I let her know that. She didn't like that she she broke it off. I was cool with that, I understood her pov and let bygones be bygones. Well two weeks ago I was out drunk as hell and I ran into her at a bar, we went back to my place and had drunk unprotected sex. Well yesterday I find out I got her pregnant. Now I was kind of freaking out but I remembered a conversation I had with her when we had unprotected sex when we were hooking up and we both agreed that abortion was an option. When I figured out she was pregnant in person yesterday, it still seemed like abortion was an option. She kind of made some off hand remarks that made made me kind of think but I thought it was me overreacting as usual and misreading her. I went out and did some research yesterday and let her know she would have to use her insurance as I am going to pay for it. I texted her today asking about the insurance ans she tells me that she is feeling emotional and she is both terrified of having an abortion and having a kid. We are supposed to meet up in an hour. I am a mix of emotions right now, mostly anger as we both agreed that abortion was an option. I'm am not ready to be a father for multiple reasons and the thought of it is making my anxiety go crazy, any advice?

The possibility of nightmare scenarios like this is why I got a vasectomy--closed the factory before it even opened.

Good luck, OP.

I don't get why two people would upend their lives and complicate future romantic relationships (or even forego them entirely) because a mistake that can be easily remedied. There is so much societal pressure on women to carry pregnancies to term it's insane. There's nothing preventing her from having a baby with an active partner several years down the line, in fact, her chances may be better if she doesn't have this baby.

she took on the responsibility too.

So what should he do if he wants her to abort but she wants to keep it?

She is screwed as well.

she's screwed because she wants to be, options out are available to her.
