Jessica:
how old is he? If he is in his
teens...Yes he will freak out! If he is
in his early 20's, he might be alittle bit
more reliable and responsible.
I think he is just having a little doubts
about this whole situation. Everybody
does. Becoz now he has to think about
the baby's expenses, raising a family and
all that, and if he is a traditional guy,
that's alot on him especially if he is
still young.
The best way is to communicate with him, I
mean really talk to him about how he
feels. Tell him u need honest answers.
Most likely he is just scared of the
responsibilties that come witha child and
a possible wife!
The part where u said he is acting like he
owns you, girl, u need to be careful on
that, if a man feels that u are his
property, he will start to control you,
and then comes the rage if you resist him
or reject him, then that can easily turn
into violence.
Not that I know him or anything, but there
are alot of cases like that.
The question is that do you want the child
if he chickens out?! If you do, you need
to think about alot of things. If you
dont, then act fast, think fast about
abortion coz u r 8 weeks....They dont do
abortion for up to 12 weeks. So...
Good luck..

Okay I dont know if what I wrote was
posted. What I was tying to say was. How
long have you 2 been together? Becasue
some boys try to get toy pregnant so they
can have you to themselves. take my friend for
example her boyfriend and her decided to
get pregnant. After she became pregnant
he tried to tell her what to do, where to
go, what to wear. And he started
cheating. Not trying to stress you out
but be careful and pay close attenion to
his changes.

Exactly what tweetie said also. I think
our main concern here is that he is trying
to own you becoz in men's minds, they
think if they got ur pregnant, you wont go
anywhere because we are the natual
nurturer and will stay with the kids and
the baby's dad.
And he is 25???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a bit too old to be freaking out at
this point. I mean not to scare u or
anything, guys like that do really have
control problems, u did not see it before
this becoz there were any responsibilites
yet, but now....
Ok, u might think he would never act on
beating you, but if a guy could say it, he
can do it. Trust me, that's how alot of
domestic violence starts. Not that we
are suggesting breaking up, but really if
his attitudes changed like 180 degrees
after having ur child is born, leave him.

,
run! A man who says he wants to beat the
caca out of you is someday going to beat
the caca out of you. And that type of
man will also likely going to abuse the
child too. Please get out while you can.
