When Pregnancy Tests Relationships for 04/27/2024
Dear Annie: I'm struggling badly with something that occurred over a week and a half ago. I'm a mom. My son is 15. I've been dating a man for two years now, but I've known him for over six. He has no kids and has always expressed his interest in becoming a dad. A year ago, we decided to try for a baby, but I was a bit hesitant considering my son is 15 and I was 35. In my head, that's kind of old, particularly for me because I'm not very healthy. I have sickle cell disease, so I'd capped my latest age to give birth at 32. He's a good man to me, and my son's very fond of him. He told me I wouldn't have to worry about a thing and that he was preparing for a child for a while now, but it simply didn't happen. I also knew he would be a great dad, so we agreed to try, and now I'm 36 and expecting. My issue is that we had an argument the other day and he texted me that he regretted getting me pregnant. I was so hurt. I couldn't believe he would say such a thing after none of his other relationships produced a child. Now I'm not speaking to him because I'm very upset, and I told him I will not add his surname to the baby's birth certificate if he's so regretful. He's tried to apologize and reached out to my mom to vent his frustration, but I don't want to hear from him. I didn't wait 15 years just to have some guy say such a horrible thing to me. Do you think I'm going too far? &8212; Baby BluesUpdated: Sat Apr 27, 2024
