Impossibly pregnant

(Throwaway for obvious reasons; also not giving age for paranoia sake)

So, just found out I’m pregante (trying to be in high spirits about it). I’d been feeling sick and missed my period so I’d figured something was up. Took a piss test and it came back positive.

Now some people would be elated by the news. Well I’m not because:

  1. Don’t want kids

  2. The pregnancy is nearly impossible

  3. It would probably kill me to give birth naturally

  4. My boyfriend (34M) is engaged (we’re poly; don’t worry)

Now the obvious answer is an abortion, right? Yes, mhm, for sure. Problem is is that I’m not sure what to tell the father.

For one thing, I’ve been on birth control and according to my gyno am practically infertile due to hormonal abnormalities. These are facts I’ve used to sooth my bf’s worries when it came to having unprotected sex. Now that I know neither are a guarantee I’m not sure how he’ll feel about having sex with me ever again or even continuing our relationship.

For another: while he’s been receptive to abortion talk in the past, I’m not sure if he’s only been giving me a pass because of my medical condition. I’ve let him know that my condition would make it incredibly laborious to maintain and complete a pregnancy in the traditional way. He responded along the lines of “yeah, in that case an abortion would be understandable”. It only leads me to believe I’m an exception to his rule and he’ll judge or resent me for it.

I need to know if I should tell him or not. I know it’s my body, my choice, but does that mean I don’t owe him any info on the matter? It’s undoubtedly his as I have no other partners at the moment, but right now there’s no way to tell I’m pregnant at all. So I’m kinda at a fork in my path.

Tl;dr I’m pregnant from my bf and am trying to decide if I should not tell him about the abortion I will receive. Is it a morally wrong decision?

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
