boyfriend wants abortion

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and already love this baby more than life . My boyfriend doesn't feel the same way though he wants me to get a abortion , says I'm selfish for keeping it and I Cant love him and he will never love it and I'm ruining his life . He barely speaks to me it's horrible because I love him so much but I can't get rid of something I love so much already . Don't know what to do .

Hi , quick update , my boyfriend had a long chat with his dad yesterday and surprised me at work by coming and telling me he wants to keep the baby and he wants to be with me , he was just in shock and his dad helped him come to terms .

Reading this broke my heart I remember when doctors told me I would never be able to have kids woman it's a privilege to have a child so when the chance comes run with it , let's be honest here and think about it yea you can go out and get it done but do you think that'll keep your 'relationship' together you'll eventually brake up cause I mean what real man makes a baby then tries the easy way out of course he asked you he is a boy himself  , you have a choice and I'm sure your heart knows best remember you already love the baby what is better then that men come and go.

I was told by my boyfriend brother. " if you can't look at your self in the mirror and not wonder what  he or she could of became or second guess that decision then you shouldnt do it. ." I belive hos brother is the reason I hold on to my son now  18 weeks and healthy as can be.  You should do what you want but if you just found out you also got to take in he probably scared of what people will think and how his life will change.  Alot of guys leave because they don't want to change the life or take on the responsibility of another life.  If your able to bring the child in and make it happy I say go ahead keep it.  Abortion will scar you for life.  Trust me I almost got one.

Well that's not right, if he really loved you, he would accept your decision & support you & not put you in a tight spot or make you choose like that. It's up to you, your the one carrying your lil baby not him. Jus think about it well, Goodluck to you.

I was in the same situation 7 years back. I did what my partner at the time wanted. And I can honestly say it was the worst thing I've ever had to to in my life. I would never do anything like that again. I felt so ashamed.

Its ur choice dont let him tell you what to do.. Also abortions can cause problems to be able to get pregnant in the future (not always the case but does happen)...

You need to be straight up with him and make the best choice for yourself and your baby! If that doesnt include him, you need to tell him that it will not include him. I have been told by friends who had boyfriends that thought the SAME way that they had a Change of heart not long after they thought they wanted an abortion and really wanted to have the baby. But be true to yourself! Dont short yourself for someone else's happiness

The only selfish one is him, like I've told other girls on here, PLEASE do NOT get an abortion unless it is 100% your choice, bc it is and always should be YOUR choice.. being a mom is a privilege andas hard as it will be, bc it will be hard, you are never going to regret it :)

Trust me you do not want to get a abortion it will have a affect on your life forever. If you love your baby keep it because that baby loves you to. God will deal with your boy friend later.

Sounds more like him being selfish.  It's your choice. I don't believe in getting abortions.  At the end of the day you will have to deal with that pain not him.
