Happy late post.

So. My boyfriend told me today to "get out" when I told him I was pregnant earlier today (smurf, huh?) and after hours of ignoring his calls and texts, he texted me about 45 minutes saying "Come outside." I went the door and he's there. He tells me that he realized how stupid he was (condensed version) and even though he doesn't think having a baby is the best idea for us right now he wants to keep it if I do. I told him I was exploring options that we could take and he said whatever I wanted to do he would stand by me.

This was the happiest moment I've experienced since I found out I was pregnant. I feel like I can finally be happy about this baby without feeling guilty or wrong. Though I'm still not sure as what I'm going to do, I'm going to wait to tell my parents until I'm certain in what I want to do [after all I am 18]and I'm going to make an app with my doctor ASAP to discuss further options.  

I wouldn't go running back to him all happy "/. He ran (or rather made you run) at the first sign things were going to be hard. I wouldn't trust him to stand by me now

I wasn't all "yippie!" to his face I just acted calmly but to me I'm relieved (though I don't want him to know that) as naive as it may sound it feels good to have someone backing me up. :/

Being naive isn't always a bad thing. Ignorance is bliss, no? I've been where you are. He went back and forth from wanting him to not wanting him and ultimately was not a decent father at all. I hope it goes better for you, but be realistic and don't get your hopes up too much. Be cautious

Of course. I guess this is a good time to test my independence.

You'll be fine.  
Do you have any other support system, or just him?

I have yet to tell my parents so I guess just him for now. :/

Hopefully your parents will be supportive

k so he got mad at first i mean its a big deal and most father to be arent father or get close about the baby intil birth so i would prepare to do it own your own if thats what you want and just be happy that he came around witch its not like it took him weeks to come around it was only hours thats a good thing

A lot of guys get scared when they first hear that news. If he came back and apologized, then you should trust him until he proves otherwise. Hell, even MARRIED men get scared, or freak out, or 'go out to clear their head' sometimes. It's no a sign that he's going to leave when things are hard. Give him the benefit of the doubt and don't let other women on BG make you doubt yourself or your boyfriend.

I wish you the best.
