Got a girl pregnant, what am i in for?
Hi,
Ive been freaking out, been seeing this girl for about a year and we have always had a conversation about kids, and i have told her numerous times and have been firm that i dont want kids and i have told her give me till im 30. im 25.
We have always used condoms. ALWAYS. but she is pregnant now. and wants to keep it even with my constant warning that if she is doing this she is going to be doing it without my support as i dont want kids, she said she is fine with it and she isint aborting it.
This is taking a mental tool on me as she is giving me 2 options, give up all my dreams (im working in tech), lifestyle and friends (she lives 4 cities away) and be a dad, or be a deadbeat. i find it a bit selfish why is she putting me in this position when she can have kids with people that are willing and bring kids into this world in a safe environment even when she was brought up by a single mum and have a dysfunctional family, she said she doesnt care and she is doing this so i should "suck it up and be a father".
I am not going to throw away my life plans because she wants to, although im not evil and leaving this child will take a huge mental and emotional toll on me, but she is choosing to do this not me. atleast thats what i tell myself so i can sleep better at night.
When i do leave i plan on making support payments as a way to take some accountability for my stupid actions in trusting her.
Is there more i can do in this situation?
Im just mentally tired of this and want this part of my life to be over as its very hard to sleep at night, i cant even have sex without being scared i can be taken advantage of anymore. shit is crazy man, i need help
