Okay, i've been seeing my boyfriend for a year now and i've found out that i'm pregnant. I know i want to keep the baby, i couldn't go through with an abortion. But in September he's going away to university. I know how much he wants to go and i don't want to spoil it for him or make him feel like he has to stay. Do i tell him now? Or do i wait until he's at university and then tell him? (He's going to be living quite far away when he goes, like four to five hours drive away if that helps)
Please help!

"I've found out that I'm pregnant. I know I want to keep the baby. I couldn't go through with an abortion. But in September you're going away to school, and I know how much you want to go. I don't want to spoil that for you or make you feel like you have to stay."
Then it will be your turn to listen to what he has to say in response. Then an honest discussion of both of your feelings will follow...
Honoring the one-year commitment the two of you have had so far should warrant this kind of honesty and intimacy.

Besides, he maybe hurt if you do not tell him and there maybe further complications in your relationship if you tell him after he goes, he may have trouble trusting you afterwards. The best thing you can do is tell him and hope for the best, tell him that you don't want this to affect his education but it's something that he needs to know.

1. He may want to know something like that- you never know.
2. He NEEDS to know- especially if its his child. Why keep that information from him?
3. Don't NOT tell him just because you don't want to ruin his dream- its ultimately his choice if he stays with you or if he goes to college- so don't feel like its YOU ruining HIS dream.
4. Its kind of lying to him if you don't tell him. Keeping secrets from a partner is horrible. The longer you keep the secret from him- the more he could be mad about it.
So I think you should tell him. Its your best option. =D
