If I were in his position, I would really urge you, even beg you to consider adoption. It's a very noble and selfless thing to do. You get to give a human being the chance to live without ruining your life or the child's. Statistics confirm that children raised in a two-parent household are happier than children raised in a single parent household. There's a waiting list for people who want to adopt children. It'll hurt. You'll cry yourself to sleep for awhile, but it's the best thing for all three of you. You and Mr. FWB can never provide the home that an adoptive family can provide. If you tell the guy and he wants to marry you, then that's great, but that is probably not going to happen. You can go to court and get child support and visitation and subject your child to the venom that you'll both be dishing out and the dueling step parent carousels or you can give your child a chance to grow up in a good household under the guidance of a man and woman who love each other. A single mother is not as good as a mother and father household. I know that that's going to make a lot of people mad. I'm sure you're doing your best. I'm sure your moms did their best, but that doesn't make it ideal.
1 0 2 0Unfortunately, this is the consequence of being young and having sex when the two parties don't take responsibility for their actions, but fair play on your views, but you do realize that there is a good chance you will bring this child up alone, and the father only showing minimal interest, because there is no way he is going to act as mature as you, because he is still a child where you have matured past that, hence being able to bare a child, so I hope all goes well and it all works out, but don't be surprised of your fate as a single mother, good luck,x

Sounds like this was the first time you f*cked this guy or we wouldn't be talking ONS so I would have to say the reallity of him looking forward to a life and baby with you at this time to be very very rare. My gut feeling woudl be at some point you will be with child services in court trying to get child support from him for years to come.
The abortion question is something I have given much thought to and here is my conclusion! What is worse: Killing it still in the womb or going ahead giving birth to a child who is unloved, unwanted, ignored as you keep it so that in just a few short years it is on the street with little to no future ahead of it. My quandry is which senerio is more cruel!
And anyone who reads this knows we see this more and more each and every day as this world we live in gets more and more crowded to the point of being over what earth can support.1 0 0 0happened to my girl friend. She told him and he wanted to keep it. She ended up getting an abortion but he was really supportive (and we later found out he had developed a huge crush on her and really likes her. He STILL does and this happened in January.)
fyi, not all babies brought into this world have a bright future. Even if you put it up for adoption it doesn't mean its going to be adopted and there are TONS of stories about kids who are now f***ed up after going through foster care. I say if its not fair to the kid and if the kid is going to live a miserable life then why give birth to it? There's enough unloved and unwanted kids out there and we don't need any more. Learn from your mistake and be more careful next time.0 0 1 0Im in the same situation right now. & in all honesty if im pregnant well then im happy. i would never have an abortion or put my kid up for adoption. im just gonna put on my big girl panties and push through it. A child is never a mistake no matter what!

0 4Me I would man up and take responsibility I was the one to make that happen so I must do my job wether I like it or not
1 1 0 0LIke DUH it took me several minutes to figure out ONS (one night stand?) but anyhow I've always thoughthighly of children and if that had happened I'd be glad and looking forward to the baby, taking sole custody if necessary.
So as a Pro Lifer it's awesome that you want the baby, if applicable. It takes a lot of strength and courage, especially if you don't have a significant other on your side. But when the dream came true and my wife announced she was pregnant I was overjoyet. The ultrasound was the first baby picture and while she is often a little BRAT at age 11 I still wouldn't trade her for the world.
Even if she got pregnant before we were married (and believe me, I tried).0 0 1 0id pay child support but I wouldn't want any real responsibility
1 1 0 1In so many ways kids are better than adults. Don't knock it.
In my state, they're trying to make the strictest law about aborting a baby. It says that if you can hear the babys heartbeat, you're not allowed to abort it (killing a living organism). Just thought I'd mention this...
Also, see what FWB and ONS's do? This is why I don't do them...TOO MUCH DRAMA!0 0 0 0Guy are allowed to tell you what they want...and they're making abortions legal. That's just the way it is. Maybe you shouldn't be doing things like FWB and ONS's?
