Q: Help Please!!

How do you make someone understand your side of the story? My boyfriend and I found out we were prego last week. He wants the big a. I refuse. He said he wants to fall in love naturally and get married someday and then we could have kids. He said he doesnt want an illegitamate child and he's not ready to get married because he isnt 100% unconditionally in love with me yet. I told him that I thought the exact same thing but too bad!! We knew there was a possibility, we knew this could happen. He doesnt want it, but I wont give it up. I did not want to get prego, but I did. And now I will love and nourish this child when he/she comes. We're having this baby whether he likes it or not. I am not going to let down my guard... My religion, morals, etc. And I will do everything I can to give this child a good life. But... I dont think he will support my decision. I think if I continue that we are going to be through. Any advice on how I might get him to rethink or reconsider his view of this? He is a great guy, amazing, wonderful... Until it comes to this. So he's not ready to pass out cigars to his buddies... Well... Why does that reason justify the a in his mind!?

First of all...I commend you for sticking up for your beliefs and the human life that the two of you have created. Your bf may simply be scared....But you have to reconcile yourself to the fact that he may not come around to your way of thinking. You then have to ask yourself if you even want someone who would cut and run in such away in your life? Raising a child alone is difficult...But not impossible. I know of what I speak. I would simply tell him....Even if "he" doesn't love and want "his" child....That you do and that you will love and protect this little life...Even if it means protecting it from him.

Hun, this is still new to him so give him some time. I'm sure he'll come around eventually.

I would suggest giving him some time to wrap his head around things....Guys take a little longer. If he doesn't come around..Continue on. Thats all you can really do.

Please no one jump on me for posting here... I have a suggestion that no one has offered yet.

Have you considered adoption? Then he could still "fall in love naturally", and you wouldn't lose him. Plus, the child will still have a chance for life.

Adoption is an option of course, but why should she give her child up just to keep hold of a man who is being far from supportive? I know he might change his mind but I doubt it; he says he doesn't unconditionally love her now. He just forgot to add '...And I probably never will.'

sorry if i'm being too harsh

Why would she want to give up her baby for a boyfriend whom doesnt even love her ....(sorry but he doesnt). Thats foolishness....The childs life is the most important now..Not the relationship that is clearly not going anywhere with or without the baby.....She will resent him for life if she does what he wants ....
