[QUOTE="Blurt, post: 438700, member: 648"] That's exactly what [I]I[/I] did with my first long-term girlfriend, who was 19 at the time. The child wasn't even mine, but her boss's---her Tunisian boss's, I should add (she and I had been "on the outs," sexually speaking, for a period of about six months or so even though we still lived together and still considered ourselves a couple). I asked [I]her[/I] what she wanted to do, while letting her know that I'd be okay with her decision either way. In the end, she chose to have an abortion (I suspect, against the will of her [now former] boss, who was 61 at the time she became pregnant... I mean, he already had a gaggle of other children from his several wives so I can't see he would've complained about adding another one to the mix). Oddly (or maybe not), our union was strengthened by this episode; we were together, and I do mean "together," for six more years after that. And we've remained friends. I still see her once in a while, too, after having known her for almost forty years now. She came for a visit last summer and it was like a not a day had gone by since we'd last seen each other. Her decision was whether to have an abortion. My decision was whether to stand by her (especially given the circumstances). Today, we both agree that we each made the right decision.
