[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry.

I am not exactly in the same situation, but after years of miscarriages and fertility treatments, we had our children. A few years after that, I got pregnant again. Dh freaked out and I had an abortion.

Worst decision ever.

Go get therapy NOW. You will come to hate yourself and your husband. Leave him. No man should pressure his wife -his WIFE! - to have an abortion. I'm trying to forgive him (and myself) but it is so so so so so so so hard. And I just don't love him like I once did. And it wasn't a volatile relationship, no aggression, no yelling, no fights.

My friend had her first one in her 20's,  was told she couldn't have anymore kids so they never used birth control. At age 40 she became pregnant, was happy as heck.  To this day I am shocked when she confided what her crap of a husband said to her.  Same stuff, threats, abortion and I guess it was horrible.  Thankfully she told him he could leave, but she was having her child.  He stayed, she had the baby and they divorced 3 years later.  He pays her support, and she is now happily re-married.  [/quote]

I wish I'd been that strong. But it wasn't that forceful angry sort of pressure. It was the "I can't handle it/afford it/I don't want another baby" sort of pressure ... it was about his happiness sort of pressure. I hate him for it.[/quote]
