Dear Queenie,
I have been with a guy for four years. We have had lots of fun together but now I’m pregnant. He doesn’t want to keep the baby but I do.
It’s hard to go through it alone but I am feeling that I might have to since he doesn’t want kids right now and I feel that abortion is not an option because of the way I was brought up.
I have spoken to other people about it and they told me to keep the baby and he will come around, but I don’t think he will. We both have good jobs, our own cars and place to live.
Queenie, what’s wrong with him?—Sad Girlfriend
Dear Sad Girlfriend,
Like many immature young men, your boyfriend apparently only wants to have fun, but not the responsibilities that may come with it.
I would never advise a woman to have an abortion; that must be the individual woman’s decision.
However, I cannot encourage you to believe that your boyfriend will “come around”, although I hope for your sake he does.
And in future, I hope you will be more careful and practise safe sex. You could catch more than a baby from having unprotected sex.
