My "boyfriend" just asked me to get an abortion.. 18 weeks.

honestly.. What do I say or do? What do u all think? I thought I knew him, even through all the RED flags. Through the cheating and lies, i still believed in him. Now I don't know what to believe. How selfish can one be? How should I try and talk to him?

Don't talk to him in my opinion. Tell him go F off and get a life. You can raise this baby by yourself! You don't need a man, especially him.

Isn't it selfish for him to tell me, we already found out the sax ... I can't do this alone, I told him that from the beginning... And now he just bails!! Doesn't seem fair!

You CAN do this!!! Being a single mom is not hard! I was a single mom of 3 and my youngest was only 2 weeks old when I left my ex husband. He is a coward! Please do NOT have an abortion:(

Go to his parents or your family. I would pray on it and you're really far along. Most likely it'll be too late. Once you get the mental support you need, leave him

It's a REAL baby honestly I can't even imagine.  Why would someone wait this long to say it. It seems to me that he's such a *****, for lack of a better term. I don't have anywhere to raise the baby, as he just told me A MONTH ago (over 4 months pregnant) that he was in a "situation" where he can't leave his house, his mom wouldn't allow it either ( I wouldn't know, I haven't even met his mom, it's been 2 years) my mom has told us BOTH since the beginning it can't happen here (at MY families house) and he told me "we will figure this out together, we HAVE to" , "even if all hope is gone" but what all hope is gone so he runs away? My birthday is in 3 days, and it makes me sick that he's trying to make it so his baby NEVER has a birthday. I cry and he's emotionless. He's been ignoring me for a week now, I briefly saw him yesterday & he said point proven because he asked for head and I said "what's wrong with u I haven't seen u in a week and u want to treat me like some *****" funny ... He's sick, he must be right?

I don't know his family to go to, I have NO support from mine. My mom tried to force us in the beginning to get an abortion, I've been fighting though this, for me and my unborn daughter.. But I guess he wasn't able to fight. Why would he? He had nothing to fight for. Obviously this isn't even a "baby" to him

I wish it was too late, in my eyes it's ALWAYS been  too late, I could never do it. I''be said it as a cry for help, but never as a serious thing.. Maybe it's my fault. Idk.. How is it even legal in US (mass) to get an abortion up until 23 weeks?! Sick!!!

You cant get an abortion even if you agreed to it. What are you....18wks? Since you already know gender...can't do it after a couple months. I'm sorry you're going through this.

Maybe he's just scared so he thinks that its the only option. He could just not be able to grasp the consept of parenthood yet. It takes time every person handles a unplanned pregnancy differently. He could be talking to others too much and someone talked him into it. If you know him then trust yourself and talk to him about it.

Dont do it. I was in the same position as you are i am now 36 weeks & hes in & out of my life only comes around when he wants. I thank god & my parents for making me realize the mistake i was going to make. Its all worth it dont do that. Youll live with it for the rest of a life. Dont choose what he wants over your own baby.

Im sorry you're going through this but please don't do it. You have reached that far and it wouldn't be too long til you gotta hold your little one. I've been on that situation tho i was just few weeks then but believe me or not abortion is a kind of decision that you would regret in your entire life. I know you will be a great mother to your child. Hang in there momma! Don't mind your boyfriend. He'll definitely regret what he told you when the moment he sees your baby.

Sorry I was gone for a while, I was trying to talk to him on Skype... He can say everything over the phone but when it comes to face to face, he's not as confident in his own ******** he believes. He said "I'm trying to sleep" and I said "oh I'm sorry, but you're trying to take away ur child's right to do that. You have the rest of ur life to wake up every morning and go to bed. So I'm sorry if I think it's more important to talk about this" he faked sleeping and then freaked out on me because I said if u really loved the baby, like I do, abortion would never be option, you would say u can't give the life u want for your precious baby, but u know there are people who can. Every life deserves a life time" I guess he sees it differently ...

If you truly feel you can't take care of your daughter there is always adoption, I had my first when I was 16 , his father asked for an abortion. Never would I ever , my babies have heartbeats and are the reason I live and breathe everyday. I'm now married and pregnant with baby number 3! He is not worth it and never will be! You and your daughter deserve a better man in your lives! And one day it will happen , until than raise your baby girl into a beautiful independent woman!
