Considering abortion at 13 weeks. I’m so hurt
I’m filled with rage right now, and my hormones are not helping. We unexpectedly got pregnant not long after he was told his sperm’s motility wasn’t so good, which left us with the impression that he was infertile. After the positive pregnancy test we were ecstatic that we were able to naturally conceive. The beginning of our relationship was rocky in terms of financial differences. His credit score is extremely low, he has made no payments towards his debt, and has terrible money management skills. Our last fight started over his bank statements, which showed an accumulation of $900 in overdraft fees ALONE within a three month span. Since then he disabled the overdraft feature, and managed to save $4,500 in a separate checking account, which I was proud of. I thought he changed, and perceived it as progress which gave me hope for the future of our baby. Fast forward today - I found out that he has $3,700 in his checking account after his 3,200 check, after he had moved all of his money from his “savings” checking account. I’m at a loss. He is in his mid thirties, and it suck’s being almost a decade younger than him, lecturing him over money. He’s so sweet and accommodating, and I know he truly loves me. I have $10,000 saved and an 800 credit score, but I am having second thoughts. I feel so connected to this pregnancy, and the thought of terminating my baby kills me. I am supposed to find out the gender this week, and am dreading the phone call - especially if I end up going through with the abortion. This really sucks. I just don’t want to struggle, and I have no faith that he will change. :(
