I’m four months pregnant but I don’t want any involvement from the father (neither does he). I didn’t plan to date, but ended up chatting to a guy on Facebook and we’ve seen each other three times. I didn’t tell him I was pregnant, as I thought it would scare him off.
I really like him and don’t want to lose him, but I have to tell him soon as I’m starting to show.
What do I do? Jenny, by email
Simply explain how you ended up in this situation and the reasons you’ve decided to proceed solo.
You don’t say how old you both are, but I suspect age will have a bearing on how he’ll respond. If he’s young and not ready for a serious relationship, he may decide to move on.
But if he’s a bit older, into you and not hung up on the baby being another man’s, he might want to see how it goes. Tell him as soon as possible and prepare yourself for either scenario.
