I [20F] found texts where my [25M] boyfriend talks about hating my pregnancy, not being sexually attracted to me, and thinking I got pregnant to save our relationship. I don't want to be a young, single mother and am considering a medical abortion.

Isn't 3 months the cutoff for an abortion (1st trimester)? You probably no longer have that option.

How long have you and your boyfriend been together?

This is a tough situation to be in for both of you. Obviously, being pregnant is a life changing event and being a single mother isn't a walk in the park.

For a guy in that position, I don't know what else he could have said to you as far as the baby goes. If he strongly voiced wanting you to abort, it could have easily been painted as him "forcing" you to get an abortion. In a society where the manta "your body, your choice" is repeated by the large majority, saying anything but "it's your choice" could seem controlling.

You can start planning for the relationship to be over, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is or that he will be a deadbeat dad. He said he was nervous, but that doesn't mean he won't help you.

I think your boyfriend has valid feelings and most of them couldn't have been expecting. Most of these feelings are a result of the pregnancy. It's also okay for him to have someone to vent to. There is also a chance his negative feelings will dissipate after the pregnancy.

I don't think it was right to snoop. Are there trust issues that caused the snooping?
