Abortion feels like it’s ruined the relationship
Me 20M and my girlfriend 19F found out we were having a child about 4 weeks ago. I mentioned an abortion which she did not agree with so I changed my mind and told her I’m going to do everything I can to raise our child. We were very happy and started planning out an entire future for us.
Fast forward 3 weeks later she tells her family about it and her family sort of didn’t agree with the child being born and did mention abortion but she did receive some support from others. We decided to have the abortion after thinking about it a lot.
A few days later after she takes the pill she starts treating me differently and distances herself. Affection is less shown, I have to initiate a hug or kiss and she just seems emotionally numbed then she says we should breakup so we can focus on ourselves.
The idea of her breaking up has affected me so much and I’m starting to fall into depression. I know abortions can destroy someone so I understand her feelings and why she wants it to be that way but it’s taken a huge toll on me. The breakup wasn’t a certain thing and she says she doesn’t know what to do.
We agreed to stay in the relationship and focus on ourselves more until we can reconcile. Our conversations are not the same we just talk about our day and things we did and want to do but it feels like we aren’t actually connected. This made be on the edge about the relationship ending and I’m trying to do better things for myself so it doesn’t hurt me as much if it does happen.
