Please if anyone happens to see this dog his name is Harley and he is so loved and our family is devastated. Went missing from our home on Lone Pine rd. He just disappeared tonight 8/6/26.
I’ve made the decision to terminate my pregnancy. I know I don’t need to explain my decision to anyone but I lost my job recently, I’m living with my parents, I’m in debt, and I’m not married. Thankfully, I’m less than 4 weeks along so it’s super early.
I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about 6 months total but only two as “official boyfriend and girlfriend.” We had a kind of rocky beginning because of me moving to a different state and him having been recently divorced. But we are finally in a really good place.
He’s not aware that I’m pregnant. I just found out yesterday. I’m torn on telling him. On one hand, I deeply care about him and I hate the thought of there being a secret between us and being dishonest with him. On the other hand, I’m worried my decision is going to be a lot harder if he’s wanting to keep the pregnancy. He’s 37 so a part of him might be thinking, “I have to do this now.” I’m 32 and neither of us have children yet but we’ve talked about it and we both want children someday.
I don’t know if I could bear to go ahead if he’s not on board - but I also know that the reality is neither him nor I are actually ready to raise a child together. He lives in a studio apartment and I live with my parents. Where is this child even going?!?
I’m feeling very conflicted. I’m so worried that telling him and adding his emotions to my situation is going to lead to not only chaos in our relationship but the possibility that I back out of the abortion that I am right now 10000% confident is the right decision.
I can’t talk to my mom about this she’s on a safari in Africa. My friends all think I should keep my mouth shut. I’m torn with guilt. My boyfriend is so kind and sweet.
For the record, I do know he 100% does not want to have a kid with me right now. He said “that would not be good” when I noted my period was running a little late earlier this week (before I knew) but I told him that wasn’t unusual and not to worry because I genuinely didn’t believe I could be pregnant (I’m on the pill).
Can anyone give me any advice? Please do not leave political comments concerning any opinions on abortion
ETA: thank you to everyone for your support and advice. I ended up telling him about it tonight and he was super comforting and supportive. I was worried for nothing. And he sent me the money to cover without me even asking - he’s really the best. All is well.
