Today, my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum: either get an abortion, or he’ll move out to go work for his brother, and good luck chasing him up for child support because his brother lives abroad. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I announced to my boyfriend of 5 years that I was pregnant. He gave me an ultimatum. Either I "get rid of it" because he’s "not ready to be a dad" or he’ll "put me out on the streets." I’m unemployed and have nowhere to go if I keep it. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum: either cancel my amazing work trip or stay with him. I chose the trip and he assured me he’d be gone by the time I got back. His issue? My boss thought it’d be cheaper to get an AirBnB instead of getting us all hotel rooms, and that men are also going. FML
Today, I gave my boyfriend an ultimatum: me, the girl who’s been there through thick and thin for the past 2 years, supported him through his unemployment and death of his father, and who cooks and cleans for him every day, or the girl coworker who he’s been emotionally cheating on me with. Guess who he chose. FML
Today, my boyfriend kicked me out and threatened to get a restraining order after I called him an asshole. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and over 1,000 miles away from my parents' house. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML
Today, I’m pregnant with my boyfriend’s baby. He’s been saying he’s gonna leave his wife for the past 10 months, but there’s constant hemming and hawing. He wants me to get rid of the baby because, “I’ve already raised my own child for 19 years, I don’t got time for this.” I’m Catholic and don’t believe in abortion. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I’m pregnant. He told me not to worry, he’d pay child support until it’s 18, and he’d be moved out of our flat by Friday. When I asked him why, he told me not to be stupid, no way was he being trapped into raising a kid. He didn’t even ask if it was a boy or girl. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML
Today, I had to offer my boyfriend a no-hard-feelings opportunity to just leave. He never wanted to be a dad, but since we accidentally got pregnant and had our son, I’ve watched his mental health go downhill so fast I was afraid he’d kill himself if he kept forcing himself to stay with us. FML
Today, after months of planning, my boyfriend told me he's changed his mind and doesn’t want to move with me to where I got a job. Why? He doesn’t want to live that far away from his mother. FML

I'd say good luck to him chasing up his long lost child after you keep the baby and drop him out of your life like a ton of shit.

now is the time to go to the magistrate for a restraining order, also the police for a charge of domestic abuse. while you are at it, inform the police that your BF is a flight risk, and force him to turn in his passport.

Americans never cease to amaze

I've never in my life heard an American call an attorney or a judge a "Magistrate," but regardless of where OP is from, it IS his responsibility to to child to support it since he helped make it. Granted they should have had the pregnancy/children discussion before now, but on the other hand, if he absolutely did not want children, guess what? There are ways to prevent that!

None of what they said even remotely sounds American. Can I buy some of what you are smoking?

I'd tell him to get ******. And keep your baby. But it's ultimately your choice. I wish you the best op.

I think if you can prove he abandon you bc of the pregnancy an he didn’t try to use any protection then he should be held accountable an have charges pressed an still get in trouble. I mean kinda shitty to abort if you want the kid an he doesn’t.

Probably a subject you should have discussed before you started *******.

Yeah relationships are challenging. Just to throw some numbers are you, nothing about this is uncommon. -About 50% of babies are unplanned -About 25% of women have had an abortion if they are 45+ -Pro life ad campaigns might have you think otherwise but for about 10 weeks it's just a pill. Regardless though, that dude sucks for giving you an ultimatum. People who do that don't respect you and a relationship without respect isn't anything.

Either decision now you need to get rid of him, he won’t look after you after the abortion and he clearly won’t look after the kid. Most importantly if you chose not to keep the pregnancy make sure you have support around you, even when it’s just a pill it can be really difficult on your mental health. This is coming from experience, it’s important to talk about it

the decision on the baby is yours to make. either way that piece of shit needs to go

Well isn’t having or keeping a child a decision your are supposed to take together. Many woman decide not to have one and they have the flexibility to control it better than men… He’s allowed not to want one. Not to want one now. Not to want one with you!
