    Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm sorry to hear you're in this difficult position. It's your body, your choice and I hope you have the support you need whatever choice you make.

    He has confessed that when i told him of our pregnancy he didnt think 'i dont wanna have a baby' he immediately thought 'i dont wanna have babies with her'
    To me, this is the most telling part of your story. He doesn't want to have children with you. Whether he wants them or not in the future, it seems you're not the woman he'd choose to be the mother of his children. This says everything I'm afraid and I think you need to work this through. I know in my case, I've been in relationships (with genuine love involved) with men I would not have as the father of my kids. None of those relationships went anywhere. how could they? I wanted kids, but not with them.

    It sounds like you want children. Did you guys discuss having kids anytime in your relationship? I hope you can work things out, but it sounds like there's 2 major decisions in your life. 1) whether or not to have the baby and 2) whether or not to stay with a man who doesn't want to have kids with you.

    I wish you well

    oh hun Firstly, your partner cannot force you to terminate. YOU have to make that decision because it is your body, your baby... You don't want to regret making a huge decision like that because your partner wants you to. You have to be completely 100% at peace with whatever you decide.

    Your partner saying he doesn't want kids with you, that to me says that maybe it is not the best relationship to be in? If he wants kids eventually but not with you, that to me indicates that the relationship isn't what it should be. I may be completely wrong, but maybe this is a good time to evaluate your relationship, where you are both at and if this is possibly not working anymore?
