7 weeks pregnant and boyfriend left, should i have this baby?

I am 26 years old and 7 weeks pregnant. I only found out on Saturday. I was going to tell my boyfriend but out of the blue he finished with me on the Sunday before I could tell him. We have been going out for a year now and everything has been great. We even talked about kids and getting a place together at the end of the year and he constantly told me he loved me.

His reason for breaking up with me was because I nagged him too much which I think is a cop out. He couldn't even look me in the face as I cried and he was not even willing to talk to me about why he wanted to finish with me. I told him I was pregnant and did not get any reaction from him. He just looked at the floor.

Today he has sent me an email explaining that he does not want to be a dad or have anything to do with it. I know he is in shock but so am I. I'm in shock that he has the ability to turn his feelings off for me like this. He simply has closed a door on me and I can't understand it.

My dilema is should I keep this baby???

Stuff to think about

Sarah777,

Sorry about this situation. Its terrible that he would end the relationship for no good reason. This is the kind of thing that happens all the time.

Seems the fact you are even wondering whether you should keep the baby means that you realize the baby isnt just a product of you and this guy, but is really a little person who is depending on you. This is a chance for something good to come out of a relationship that ended badly. The joy you will have with your new addition will outweigh any bad feelings of the past. As the child of a single mum, I know a normal family (if any such thing exists) or perfect timing (if that exists) is not necessary for a full and happy life for parent and child.

Sounds like you have dreamed about having kids. Now is your time, go for it!
