Q: Im the Poster Child For Jerry Springer

No really I am the poster child for jerry springer. If this wasnt my life I wouldnt believe it was happening. In order to understand my problem you have to know my whole twisted situation. My boyfriend of 3 years and I broke up for a month last summer. During that time he slept with his psychotic ex and got her pregnant. He didnt find out until after we had gotten back together and I decided to stay with him through all of this as long as he agreed to a whole list of things. Everytime we talk about it he tells me how he feels like he's ruined his life and his potential and wishes it hadnt happened. Yesterday I found out I was pregnant. Im terrified to tell him and I think he'll think I did it on purpose. For the record I didnt- i'm a 19 yr old student on birth control and a baby was the last thing I saw happening in the next few years. I dont know what to do... I hate myself for making his life worse and making things even more complicated. 2 babies from 2 different girls in one year? I dont think anyone has that kind of situation for obvious reasons. Do I tell him? Do I leave (i was considering transferring to a school in california)? I feel like if I tell him he's going to hate me, but at the same time I feel like its not fair to me to have to give this baby up or not have it just because he slept with his ex. I could really use some advice....

I think it would be best if you told him. I agree that it wouldn't be fair to you to have to give the baby up just because he slept with his ex. If you want the baby you should keep it. It's all up to you though. No one can tell you what to do. Don't hate yourself for getting pregnant, it happens. When I first found out I was pregnant, me and my husband weren't married. I was so worried that it would ruin his life because he is in college and all that. But, we got married and are very happy with our decision. We will be struggling for a while, but everything is going to work out. Just as i'm sure everything will work out for you. Don't let anyone make your mind up for you, do what you are comfortable with. Good luck hun.. If you ever want to chat you can message me anytime.

Yuo should definitely tell him, if you wanna talk my msn - I have a son and i'm 16... You .D.E.F.I.N.I.T.E.L.Y. Should not have to give up yor baby if you dont want to because of something he did, that's not on and ultimately it's your choice.

However I do think you should tell him - if his reaction isnt what you want at least you will know you gave it your best shot by telling him.

Good luck, carrie

This sounds a little more maury povich than jerry springer I mean u arent related to the other chick right? And your bf isnt your cousin? Alright then.

Its not your fault your pregnant sounds like someone needs to learn how to keep it in his pants if he doesnt want anymore kids. This is your baby and if you want to keep than keep it. Its time to b selfish and only worry about u and your unborn baby. Definately tell him tho incase he does want to be there for you and hey your kid will have a play friend/ half sibling!

Thats so much for the advice from everybody. The more I think about it I think im going to tell him because one way or another he should know even if he doesnt want to be involved. When I thought about how my life was going to turn out when I met him this was not what I pictured lol! But I guess no one can predict their life right? We're actually going to disneyworld this weekend for his birthday so i'll tell him when we get back so it doesnt ruin the trip just in case. Thanks again for all the help- im sure ill be posting with more problems/questions soon lol and ill let you know how telling him goes.
