I always thought that had to be a mutual decision. landygirl Unfortunately, your boyfriend may have gotten another woman pregnant. And yes, women do use the laws to trap men into financing their lifestyle of choice (as a single mother).. LW, your BF impregnates another woman AND you think that you are entitled to an opinion about whether she should keep her unborn child? I think it is unfair that the man cant have sex without the possibility of becoming a parent, but the woman can..

And if this woman buys that line, shes a moron too. Hey, say what you want about the letter but dont diss my Twilight!!! hi there! Both have to accept responsibility for that. Or, hey, maybe they were both tested, maybe they were both clean, and maybe he believed her, and maybe she actually was on the pill. You seem upset at biology that women are the ones that carry the children and and therefore has the ability to decide or not to continue on with a pregnancy whereas a guy doesnt have that same right.

Guy Friday What should I do, View related questions: And at 40 years of age, he should know how babies are made and if he didnt want kids, maybe he should have considered getting snipped?
