I'm two months pregnant by my boyfriend, who I have only been with 4 months. The pregnancy was a complete accident and surprise. He is 22 and i'm 19. He has 4 kids and is a wonderful father, but his kids live out of the state. I have no kids. We are both in college. He really wants me to have an abortion, but I am strongly against using abortion like birth control. I have never had an abortion and I don't want to have one now. He says that he will have nothing to do with me or the baby if I keep it. But he still wants to stay in a relationship, without the baby. We are moving in our apartment together this weekend and he thinks I am going to have an abortion. We argue when I talk about keeping my baby he says it will ruin my life, but I know I can do it. I don't understand how he can love his kids and be such a good father but be so adamant about me not keeping my baby, especially if we are going to be together. I don't know if he just needs some time to get used to the idea that we are going to have a baby. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What was the outcome? What did you do or what are you planning to do? Please offer any advice or suggestions. Thank you.
