At The Crossroads

The Story

Hello, I am a 22-year-old woman. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, he is 21. We are both students. We live in an apartment together. Everything was fine, but I inadvertently became pregnant. When I found out and told him, he seemed happy. However, I am not ready for a child and when I told him that I did not want him, he began to explain to me how he also did not want, but he was happy. He said that we would find a home, that his parents would help in every possible way, and even if he had to, he would find another job. However, I firmly told him that I would remove him, and then his smile evaporated. He told me that no matter how much he loves me, if I have an abortion, everything ends between us. These words of his shook me. I'm not ready for a child, but he wants it and I don't know what to do. I don't think we can take care of a child because I know him even better than myself and I know that we are both not ready. I'm at a crossroads and I don't know what to do - remove the child and lose my loved one, or keep them both, even though I don't feel ready.
