i think you should have a fair input into the decision. you shouldnt give it up jsut because one of you is scared. i would take a long look at reasons for keeping it or giving it up before you make that kind of choice. |

| Personally I think abortion is wrong and always have but the woman carries the baby for 9 months. With most marriages that I've seen this decision happen, the couple has always decided together because it's THEIR child, not just hers or his. I really have no clue about suggestions here because you say we are having it anyway, she might just get an abortion, it's a catch 22 here. |

You both undertook the responsibilities of sex. You knew that the only way to assure not having a baby was abstinence. If you have the means to support a child, you are morally obligated to maintain that life that you (if one of you isnt "ready" for it ((who is?))) so recklessly created. Wants and luxuries are out of the picture. Its an obligation that you both had realize was a potential and to snuff that out as it furiously divides trying to become a person because you werent quite sure that ejaculating into a woman would do this?
It sounds like you are all for it, but, and I know this is hard for a lot of women (some might be offended by this, but guys know what im talking about) because they tend to have issues when it comes to honor and obligation...but. She needs to realize the self-imposed duty that is inarguably present now. It isnt a matter of "keeping" or any of that crap. Its do you kill it. Shut off its infinite possibilities.
I guess im, again, a fossil when it comes to sexual morality, but really, this is friggin huge.
My mom was 18 when she had her first child. My dad was taking 25 credit loads of pre-med and graduated a year early after he found out...oh and he worked 2 jobs and was making house payments during all this.
It was an accident too. I gotta admit im pretty glad they didnt quit because it was going to be hard.
Kids these days... |

thats tough man. good luck to you with that.
i can only think that maybe she is scared to be a mother and or having the child...just comfort her and let her know what a wonderful mother she will be...and let her know that you guys are ready...i dunno what else to say... |
