He’s been doing this for half a decade. And mind you, this was before they got engaged, during their engagement, during the honeymoon phase, and everything after. Their relationship has been a lie for the most part and nothing can salvage it. Nothing.

You deceive me for five years, your wants no longer matter.

LW 1: GET OUT. Do not listen to this advice here and get out now. It’s not going to get better.

I know we will have to co-parent, regardless of the outcome, so we are both seeking counseling in order to work through issues to be better parents. I just don’t know what is right, or at least, what other people would do in a situation like this.

I would imagine that recovering and rebuilding one’s life after a storm of this magnitude is difficult. Doing that while pregnant sounds like a nightmare. And depending on how long the recovery/rebuilding takes, doing it with an infant sounds nearly impossible.

What about the woman who was already planning on getting an abortion, but now her whole livelihood is underwater and she barely has enough money to rebuild her own life for the ground up. You really think it’s in her and the unborn baby’s best interest for her to suddenly change her mind about the abortion now that’s…

It’s amazing how much love people project onto an embryo inside a woman’s body (as long as she doesn’t want it there) and how much disdain they’ll give an actual grown human person.

You mean the clumps of cells that weigh about a much as three nickels and are growing in someone else’s body? They don’t “want” anything. They can’t want anything any more than the tip of your finger can want anything.

Here’s a thought. Get behind early sex education, free and abundant birth control, and plenty of low cost child care.

lol

Could you include a link for donations directly to WWH, or can we only donate through the Lillith fund?

Here’s real courage and generosity. They’re going to get slammed for this, but they’re doing it anyway because it’s right.

Heading to their website to donate $10. It’s all I have, but I cannot imagine having to make these decisions all while dealing with the storm.

YAS. Where can we donate to WWH?

Shout out to all the freedom fighter “allies” whose feelings need to be tended to as a condition to them fighting (or at least acknowledging) oppression. Seriously, if you are more offended by a marginalized individual implying that a privileged group as a whole benefits from said privilege and as a whole has biases…

Hurt white feelings for the win! I love how being accused of being racist is, in the eyes of many special snowflakes, worse than being subjected to racism ... You guys are seen!

Well, isn’t this a shocking comment coming from a shocking place... /s

Yes or Kenny!

Should have gone to Eric.

Well, this is freeform, and freeform does empowering with a bit of liberal sexuality very well. They also have no problem with controversial subjects.
