How do I tell my friends with benefits I'm pregnant with his child ?

I've been sleeping with this guy about a year. We're both 18, and I'm 95% sure I'm pregnant. He's really into partying & sleeping with different people. I don't know how or if I should tell him I'm pregnant when I know for sure. I don't want to ruin his life and I'm so scared. He's such a jerk now and I don't know how to tell him.

  • Well, first of all, make sure you are pregnant.

    Second of all, decide what YOU want to do. Separate from what society tells you to do or what religion and media tell you to do, it is YOUR body, and you luckily have the right to choose whether you want to have this baby or not.

    If you decide to have the baby, you need to sit down and talk to him, there's no way around that.

    If you decide to abort it, it is your decision on whether you want to tell him or not. Personally, I would not, simply because he probably does not want a child, and the knowledge of the fact that he had a kid and is no more might screw with his head a bit. However, that is totally up to you, especially if you want SOME support, him to pitch in for the cost, etc.

  • Do you know whether you want to keep it yet?

    When you know for sure, you should tell him. What you're going to do is completley up to you anyways but you can't keep a child a secret. When he sees you pregnant the thought it might be his should occur to him anyways at some point. I'm not sure in what situation you are right now, but if you want to keep it you'll likley need help raising it. If he doesn't want anything to do with the child , at least he could support you financially.

    You didn't ruin his life, he knew this was a possibility when he had sex with you

  • Go to the doctor & get an ultrasound to make sure you're 100% pregnant. Though I wouldn't have many doubts since you're still young.

    You need to tell him unless you want to get an abortion. You can't keep the baby a secret. Just because he's a party animal doesn't mean that he won't step up & take care of his children.

    & you didn't ruin his life. It takes two to tango.

    • Even if you're considering adoption, you should still tell him because he may want to take care of the child instead.

    • Anonymous guy blocked me because he was defeated. :D

    • Lol ! Thank god !those boys were too rude. But yes. I will tell him when I'm 100% sure. I'm against abortions, I wouldn't want to give the child up for adoption because I've heard horrible stories about things happening to children. I feel like in this situation, I should keep them. I'll just have to work harder for what I want in my life and hope for the best. Hopefully he'll at least come around and know his kid. I'm not asking for a commitment, I just want him to know him well.

  • In a case like this, you might want to put the kid up for adoption when he/she's born.

  • Do you want to keep the baby? If so, what would this guy bring to the table? Does he have a stable job with which he could pay child support. I don't think he'd want to settle down and marry you, so if he can't provide, I wouldn't tell him.

  • Make sure you ARE pregnant. You still have a choice not to keep the baby. Even as a women, I do believe females have an unfair amount of power in these situations. You are not a bad person because you fell pregnant but you need to make the RIGHT choice by both you and the father.

  • You have to be honest...do you definitely want to keep the baby? Why weren't you more careful?
