Doesn't look like the OP has said anything with regards to whether or not he had used protection. Everyone here seems to think that he did not. Maybe she "said" she was on BC? Maybe the condom failed?

This situation right here is exactly why, at 21, I went out and got the snip... there's no win-win for anyone in this situation. Prepare to be SOL!

Maybe, but unlikely. Condoms fail rarely if used right (I've had two tear (and you can feel it)) in 25 years and you put another on. And if she said she is on BC, as a dude, are you going to trust that? If you're that dumb, well sheet. Use a condom anyway, especially outside of a committed relationship. BC doesn't protect you from a bunch of things condoms do.

I agree and it is probably the case that he didn't use protection and if the latter was the case then he would be an idiot for believing her.

Not saying that it wasn't the case... but harping on him about not using protection before hand is a damning assumption as well.

Yeah, the booze packs it on.... I likes me my wine and I know that it's not helping the waistline.

Nothing.

I warn my sons all the time about being sure to wear a condom. You have no power under these circumstances.

Time to man up.

and from these discussions to get a sense of each other about attitudes toward outcomes like this.

That ship has sailed. Focus on adoption.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I called her and insisted with her to have the abortion. We met later to talk again and she said that she was going to do it next week. She says this child would turn her life upside down and that I was right, there was no point in bringing a child to this world in such circumstances.

I'll go with her to he clinic once again.

Hope you don't mind my asking, but did you have a hard time finding a doctor who would sterilize you? Did you have any children at the time?

I know for a fact that it would be very hard, if not impossible, for a young woman of 21 years to find a doctor who would agree to sterilize her, even if she already had a child or two.

Jeez.... what a nightmare situation. I'm not against abortion, I just hate to see it being used so callously.....
