I met and dated a girl over the summer who I felt and still feel is one of the best women I have ever met.
I am 30/yo and have been in several relationships so I feel that I do have some ability to know what to look for in a person. We were basically together 24/7 but when the summer ended I found out that she didn’t want to continue. (It would have become a ldr for sometime) because we go to diff law schools. We were very happy together so I tried to get an explanation and she eventually said it would be an issue with her family and she had an ex-fiance that she needed closure with. I was surprised/hurt that after having a great time together, meeting some of her cousins etc she wasn’t willing to try. It was crushing in a sense to have some hopes dashed but I went back to school and we kept in touch. Then 2 weeks ago she called and told me she was pregnant and wanted an abortion. My first reaction inside was happineess and hope that she would reconsider. I flew out to be with her and stll felt a “spark” despite the situation makng me feel lke my feelngs were validated. I didn’t pressure her in any way, just tried to support her, but hoping she would reconsider. She went through the procedure and is subsequently dealing with intense feelings of sadness/guilt which is natural. She explained that her parents would die if they found out about theh pregnancy which I understood is an important factor. We speak often and I try to console her because i do care about her but I am now dealing with feelings of anger/regret and some hurt for not trying to convince her to reconsider the abortion and for her never asking me what I want (although I understand it is her decision). For anyone in this situation has continuing to talk to your partner proved helpful in recovering for both of u, and would you have pressured the girl to keep the baby?
