I got a girl pregnant and I can’t find anything to be happy about.
For context we’ve been together about half a year and I’ve known her for about 3. I just recently found out I got her pregnant.
There’s absolutely nothing I’m excited about and she keeps saying she has no support. I tell her she can talk to me and tell me what I can do to support her and she just keeps saying I can’t do this or that. I’ve told her just because I’m not happy about this baby doesn’t mean I can’t support her.
If she wants to have the baby I’ll help her raise it as my own. My issue is that I genuinely know nothing about supporting anyone through anything or even what to do as a father. I grew up without anyone really there on both ends and I’m just so scared that my baby won’t grow up in a stable home or with food or anything. There’s so much I’m stressed about and all she can say is that babies aren’t that expensive, I won’t have to sacrifice much, etc etc.
I’ve even told her she can talk to me about what she’s excited about because that might just make me excited for it too. She refuses to listen to me and I have no idea what to do.
I guess I’m asking for advice on what to do but I mainly wanted to vent lol. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
