I Think I Said the Wrong Thing
Posted: 08-26-03 23:58pm

Say your a dude and you dont belive in abortion and all that stuff and your chic wants one. But you dont want one. And you know your to young to have a baby and life will be hard and all that stuff and you go off and say you cant be with someone like that. Not thinkin at the time. Do you think you should of never said that and keep caca like that to your self? Was it wrong to say that? Should I feel bad? And I said "if we keep the baby im going to be there for her and the baby and try to make things work. B/c I want to and I love you. Not b/c I have to I want to. But if you get one after it all said and done I cant be with someone who can do that"

(by this time you know your going to be havin one)

I think that if u absolutely feel that her belief and her decision disgust you, then of course u dont want to be with someone like that, but u couldve said it in a way that is communication instead of blame or arguement to make her feel bad. It is her body and she will be the one to carry the child if she wants to keep it. And there might be alot of issues that she thought about, and decided not to deal with them. Whether or not u agree with her decision, u at least should not be judgemental and try to just be calm.

Most of the time, ppl are pissed off or angry or frastrated at the situation, but direct their anger to the person, that is subjectivity, and we need to be objective.

And being a bf, u need to take her feelings into consideration. And maybe just try to talk to her as adults instead of argue with her...See how things go

I know that its her body and its all really up to her but I dont know why at the time I said that. I never wanted to make her feel bad or anything and she is right we are to young but I dont know. I want to be there for her but I cant kill anything...

Hey, no need to feel bad, we are only humans and we say things before we think, it happens...

If u love her dealy, just talk to her, tell her u did not mean to say that. Just be honest to her of ur feelings but to be calm and patient though.

U guys are young, but hey u guys are young adults, so now it's time to act like adults and so...Think before u speak.

Im not good with words...

All I want is the best for us but at the same time I cant do that... I know for sure we cant care for a baby and be ready for everything. But im not willin to do that. I know guys if in my shoe who would be happy that she wants a abortion but im not happy she thinkin or wants one. Things happen for a reason... I dont know this reason.

The reason for this is for u to learn. I mean that's the most effective way to learn!

Oh even though u dont like her having an abortion or wanting one, u cannot tell her what she wants is wrong, or she is a bad person or anything that seems to put a blame or shame on her. Coz that's just gonna cause more conflicts..

But do you love her? If you do, u will then want to stand by her, support her decision, make it clear that even though u hate her decision, but u love her, and u want to work out with her. Maybe make a plan that if she gets preg next time, u two are gonna have a baby or something like that...

Ok..I am not making much sense now.....It's late....I am tired....Of course I am not making sense..But hey really, best of luck to you two, coz u seem to love her alot

Hey ive been talking to your girl. Im trying to get her to change her mind. But you need to help! Tell her you want this baby and even though you wont be together you can both be there! And watch what you say! Think before you speak. She might take things wrong. Good luck! (was that sugar coated too? Hahaha)

Its wasnt wrong for you to tell her that. If it is true, that you cant be with someone who kills his baby, then so be it. I mean, she cant expect you to be happy she got an abortion when you wanted to have the baby. Just keep reminding her that you both need to be together and you will be there for her all the way. But keep the promise. Dont back out. Hopefully she wont do it. Good luck
