      I know how my son happened, my ex wife intentionally got pregnant by poking holes in my condom and lied that she took birth control.
      Her then college roommate did the same thing, apparently it was a pact. My ex and I had a son, her roommate had triplets. We're all divorced and miserable.
      As men we had no rights and could not press charges and were forced to pay for children we never wanted by two women who wanted to trap us into their lives. Nobody won in that stupid plot. Nobody.

      @@Shaara1 I don't date crazy women and generally stay away from drama. My ex and I were dating for 8 months before she and her roommate got pregnant. Both were Filipino nursing students, I was a business law student. We had a great relationship and both came from good families. She gave me no red flags other than some mood swings.
      Now you could make the argument that I should have not had sex if I didn't want kids, but we both understood that neither wanted kids, especially not while in college. Then again, we both used protection until then.
      As a man, I should have had the option to force the abortion since it was forced upon me without consent, but I didn't have that option. I also didn't have the option to walk away without paying child support. Neither did the other guy, with triplets. I'm the luckier of the two victims. And we are victims.

      I understand what you mean by that, but many parents abuse their children because they view them as “consequences” instead of “blessings”. Best case scenario, the baby is born and their fear instantly turns to love, but that doesn’t always happen. And in those cases, the kid suffers terribly.

    My husband and I married young (very early 20s) and found out we were expecting in our first year of marriage. My husband was over the moon and I was scared out of my mind. When I dug deep, I realized the reason I was scared was bc my Mom had expectations for me to achieve before I had kids. It wasn't about me and what made me feel happy. Sure, I was terrified. But I wanted a gaggle of kids. I have 2. Turns out, my body isn't keen on harboring life for 9-10mo. I have had many miscarriages between my two kids. But our oldest changed the course of our lives in such a positive way (we weren't going down any bad paths) I couldn't imagine life being any different. I am so thankful God was/is in control on that! He is a teen now...and that is challenging some days, but the majority of the time there are these shared smiles between my husband and I on an unspoken thing (too many emotions to name it). I wouldn't trade it for a second! Take the adventure. I really hope he did.

I would freak out too if i were in their shoes. This is a personal choice that they have to make decisions for themselves.

    I didn't hear any encouragement from John with the caller mentioned adoption. You have two uneducated young people each with barely above entry jobs, she's pregnant and this isn't their idea of "the right time." If adoption is a consideration for them, there are hundreds of prospective parents in their state who would be blessed to raise this child. In most states, the adoptive parents can cover all the costs related to the pregnancy and delivery....so no worries about that. I don't understand how people can consider killing it, but somehow feel that they can't give it away. I have little doubt that they will likely decide to raise the child themselves, but as a person who became a mom thru adoption, if it truly is not the right time for them, seriously consider adoption as a possibility.

    I’m glad that John described what becoming a father and being a father is like for him. It’s most definitely not like that for everyone said the woman whose husband decided he didn’t want to be a husband or father and opted out. I’m not sure this guy is ready to have a kid. I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to convince him…
    I am absolutely NOT advocating for abortion but I hope they consider adoption.
    Who knows? Maybe the girlfriend is sick of waiting to be proposed to and purposely got pregnant.

    Why do people act so surprised when they get pregnant? Like duh that's what happens 😕 wouldn't it be wise that if you are doing things to get pregnant you take precautions. You should be saving money and designing a nursery. I don't get the logic

    My girlfriend and I are worried that she might be pregnant. She exhibits all the symptoms and is about to do a test. I dont know how the results are gonna come out, part of me is scared but another part of me feels like this is the push I needed in life. I feel like this is God giving me a purpose, to do everything it takes to make sure that I have the kind of life that can cater for the three of us. I’m 20 years old right now, just finished my first year of college I dont have a job I dont have nothing. Life back home is simple, we are not rich or anything like that. All I know is we cannot bare to even think of aborting this child. I really hope the test comes out negative, but if its positive I know this is my opportunity to get my life together now. Everything I’m going to do is for my girl and the baby. I know I’m just a kid and I dont know the first thing about being a father, but as men its time for us to step up and leave all this political agenda behind. Its a call for us to step up for our very own biological obligation.When it comes to pregnancy, its no longer about you its about the child. I urge all men to please step up for your child. That is your sole purpose on this earth.

      Why can't you get it together? Even if you didn't want a child. You are doing something wrong or making selfish decisions at this point. Get a mentor, hang out with people who have it together and figure out what you need to do. Poor wife!

      ​@@lifeaccordingtotheo9643having your life together is different than having it together to the point where you can finance (monetarily, emotionally, and physically) another human being for the next 18+ years. Having children ruins a lot of relationships, adds a ton of financial stress, and causes people to lose their identities. Everyone I know who has children complains about them constantly. Knowing you're not ready to take a huge risk that many people often regret later is a sign of maturity.

    Hope they made the right decision.
