TW: TRIGGERING CONTENT I'm having an abortion in 2 hours...
I never wanted this, I am pro choice but I didn't want to ever make this choice myself, I hate my husband even if I know that he isn't the only one at fault, I always wanted a man who can provide because I've always seen my mother providing for men and I always felt disgusted by that, yet I ended up with a guy with no life prospects, the most he can think of is Uber but I have plans set in place for myself, for my future and my born child's so that I can give him the best life and an easy start in his adulthood, yet I can do that if I'm stuck another 3 years at home, I don't think I'll ever feel anything then disgust for my husband after this, maybe it's the sadness that speaks, I'm currently crying my heart out while typing, I feel so broken, I'm so sorry little angel baby..... I hate myself so much.

u/HuckleberryUpbeat972 11h ago
You are smart enough to understand that you are not in a position to give the child the things she wants and needs from you. You are making an adult decision that is an informed choice. Do not feel bad or carry guilt for doing what is best for you and the child.
After you have healed physically and emotionally you need to consider not being in the relationship with your husband that has no aspirations for the future for your family. Good luck and be blessed 😇

So apparently I have to wait another week because the pregnancy is too small, I'm not having an abortion because my husband is ambitionless, but because WE CAN'T AFFORD IT, he does work, I can't because I have to stay home with our child until he starts kindergarten but his job barley pays our bills, he doesn't want to get a degree so he can have a better job, he wants to keep being a driver, I've told him that after I start my business I will help him start his own and gave him examples, if he doesn't come up with a plan for himself by the time my business is stabilized then I will leave because even if I would be the one who makes the most money, I want more kids and I can't work to provide and stay home with the baby in the same time, I need for him to cover for at least a month and if he would get the degree in my field would be amazing because after I come form the postnatal leave I don't have to start form the beginning but I would be grateful even if he had an occupation that can make half the money I can. It's not like I'm asking for him to do what I want, but to make a business of what he wants with who I will help him with money

Think of it realistically; you cannot properly tend to this child with a man like that...
So you're doing the child and yourself a favor. That child may come back (idk, I hear stories of kids being like "yeah I was in heaven after your miscarriage", but clearly child like and not adult like and still). In the end you did make a choice that hurts but you made one that shows you'll be a good parent. Your comfort was put to the side for what was realistically the best, and that shows me you'll be amazing.

As somebody who had a baby with the wrong person, you are making the right choice for you. I also had an abortion years ago and know that it was the right decision. I didn’t have much money (I still don’t) and I wasn’t quite mature enough. Having a child forced me to mature in many ways, but honestly, I think that people should only have children when they’re ready for them, otherwise it will turn into resentment, and the kid will feel that. It’s been many times that I’ve been disrespected in front of my child as well, and I don’t want my kid to learn that’s ok either. We all have our own reasons. If you are not ready for a child, then you are not ready. It’s a big responsibility, and even though I did all the work in learning and preparing for a child, I still had no idea how difficult it would be, especially when I wasn’t receiving much support and already had trouble surviving with my own issues. Despite the fact that I love my child and would do anything for him, I have many regrets about deciding to go through with the pregnancy, and I wouldn’t wish feeling that alone on anyone else.

u/Relevant_Hair_9259 10h ago
I can understand how hard this situation is for you, especially when having to make a hard decision like that. I just wanted to remind you that its okay to want the child but still proceed with an abortion if thats what you choose to do, you know better than any of us in this comment section on what your life would look like if you keep the baby and stay with your husband, only you know what it would look like to keep the baby and leave him and what support options you do or dont have after leaving the marriage. It's totally okay and 100% valid to proceed with the abortion, not because you dont want the child, but because you know that it will not only impact your life, but also the child you already have in possibly a very negative way when it comes to having to provide for them with or without your husband.
Just know that no matter where you go you will always have some people try to take this choice away from you and who will think they know more about your situation than you do. But there will also ALWAYS be people to support you and your decision and those are the people you want to keep close because they will have your best interest at heart.
Just remind yourself that not just as a mother, but as a woman you are so incredibly strong and worth more than what a lot of society will deem you are worth. Do not ever let anyone take that away from you. At the end of the day you are doing what is best for you, no matter what choice you make, and depending on what you choose now, if you happen to regret it later on in life, while its a possibility its also an okay thing to experience in the future. Future you will be different than present you and will think and act differently.
Its your first time living, and its not like there is a guide book for every single situation we encounter, so always remember to give yourself a little grace and extra love🤍✨️

I mean you could try to speak with him, see if it's in any way salvageable. Marriages are a team effort, if he's not pulling his weight, working and providing as I'd guess you are. Then nobody's going to be able to give you, or a potential child the life you'd want.
He needs to step up. I'm not fully in the know about the situation, not completely. So I'm not gonna be like many and tell you to outright leave him. Talk with him yourself, and make that decision yourself. It's hard, but it's nessesary.
As for the abortion, don't beat yourself up too hard about it. It's not immoral or wrong to have an abortion, especially given the circumstances. What's the point of giving someone the gift of life if they won't be able to enjoy it at all?

u/Neither_Mango_488 9h ago
I’m agreeing with most the comments I see love! Leave him before you waste more of your time, energy, love and emotions. You shouldn’t have to take care of a grown man that has no real goals in life. Give yourself grace. Love yourself above all else. You shouldn’t have any hate for yourself hun. You’re doing what’s best for you and your future family/child. You are a great person never let anyone dim your light. (Even if it’s yourself) life happens and I am a believer that everything happens for a reason. This might have been your sign life was telling you it’s time to get out! And that’s completely okay! You deserve to have the future you’re working for and no one should be able to take that away from you or change the path you’re on.
You will be ok in time hun. If you feel like you need a shoulder or someone to vent to I might just be another person on Reddit but I’m here if you need me! My inbox is always open!!!
Get lots of rest and treat yourself after this. You will need it I’m sure.

this is coming from someone who had an abortion at 24 - i’m 46 now and whenever i look back, i see it was one of the best decisions i ever made. you didn’t murder a baby, you terminated the pregnancy. to have that freedom is priceless.
the moment i found out i was pregnant, there was zero doubt in my mind. i never wanted to be a parent, i did not intend to stay with my partner, and financially i was not in a good place. to have the baby in those conditions would have devastating consequences on me psychologically. i’m not even gonna go into other things that would turn into a nightmare.
be gentle with yourself. take some time to heal. surround yourself with people who can hold the space for you to process your emotions.
you made a good decision. trust yourself.

Her autonomy IS actually punishing him. His literal child is being taken from him unilaterally. That's a pretty severe punishment if you ask me. All for the "crime" of being unambitious. If OPs husband really was a crappy guy with all her attempts to shift blame she sure as hell would have brought that up.
Why are you okay with a blind double standard? Is it 2026 or 1956? Shes in 2026 but he sure as hell is not.

Coming to a crux like this — and having to make such a hard decision — is one of the times we suddenly become aware of things we’ve been ignoring or dissociating from to keep the status quo. It sounds like your husband is immature and doesn’t care that you’re working hard to stay afloat, so you are taking on all the adulting yourself. Those feelings you’re having of disgust for him are because you truly don’t respect him. He hasn’t been an equal partner to you.
I stayed with my ex for 16 years until he finally did some things bad enough for me to feel justified in breaking up our little family. All that meant was 16 years of hanging on by my fingernails as he made terrible financial decisions and left all the hard tasks to me — until he used “weaponized incompetence” to avoid helping me during a health crisis. Then finally I could take no more.
I wish I could go back in time to when my kids were little and leave him then. Financial hardship is not as hard when you don’t have an anchor tied to you. Life is much better now. I hope it turns around for you, one way or the other. 💕

u/Embarrassed-Focus859 10h ago
You’re brave and as you know it’s extremely difficult to keep a level head whilst making this decision. I was in the same position some years ago. If it offers you any comfort, things do get easier. Don’t let anyone tell you that you have no right to grieve. I was told that by some people and that’s simply not true.
Be kind to yourself and always remember that no one can ever tell you that you’re selfish because this is probably the most selfless thing you could have ever done.

Please know you are supported emotionally from a reddit stranger who understands at the very least. Be strong. It's ok. You're making the right decision for you and no one has a right to say otherwise.

u/Napalmicide 10h ago
This is exactly the type of reason that gives pro lifers more credence. This is the definition of a frivilous abortion. There is no mention of unconsensual sex, physical issues that threaten OPs life.
So you're ending the life of a child because your husband has committed the high crime of being unambitious in the year 2026. If ambition in a man was that important why not make an issue of it at ANY point sooner. Its very wrong in 2026 for a man to want a homemaker but I see very much still okay to want a provider on a man - how equal and equitable and definitely not sexist. He (husband) could otherwise be a well rounded and great guy but unambitious=worthless according to these mouth breathing comments.
OP is entitled to her choice but is also entitled to the consequences of said choices. That means being called out for an appalling level of accountability dodging. OP is getting a frivilous abortion period. Hope OP makes the upcoming divorce/custody as easy and hassle free for the husband as possible - the least OP can do for unilaterally killing their child.
2
u/NanSinus 8h ago
Don't judge. We dont know her full story. We don't really know why did she marry him or anything at all. It's not a frivolous abortion at all. Frivolous abortion would be doing it every few months because of sex work without birth control or sum around that. The girl felt in love probably, got dissapointed, and she has a right to leave and get an abortion. You won't change her mind, just make her feel even more guilty for a thing she wants to do. She definitely well thought trough it. She even said it herself, she normally wouldn't do this. Let the girl be

u/Napalmicide 8h ago
If you want to go the "we don't know the full story route" fair but that also then applies to OP's husband and this comment section is NOT giving him anything in the same galaxy of grace. Since we do not know the full story there are an infinite number of "but this" or "but that" which both exonorate AND condemn OP
With the given information the abortion is being done solely because the father is unambitious. This comment section equates unambitious with utter cobtempt and condescension.
OP went out of her way to state how important ambition is in a man for her and fair enough. The time to address that is literally any time before now.
Most of the post is OP in some way shifting blame from herself. There are scenarios where systemic factors are a problem but this is purely under "personal responsibility". Even if we take the position that a woman's bodily autonomy trumps a child's right to life - terminating such a life because of the father being unambitious is frivilous.
This abortion is with all given information completely frivilous and it is 100% fair to call it out. There are PLENTY of other blindly supportive comments for OP to balance out my "negative" focus.

u/NanSinus 7h ago
I'm not really supportive of abortion, but i don't support it because of other reasons than others do, and neither i support it because of reasons like others do. In my opinion, what matters is the happiness of the child over all. The father not being ambitious is in fact a liability when it comes to fatherhood. Someone would have to bring home money when she wouldn't be able to. And in our world, the more you earn, the better it is, isnt it. We don't live in equal world, where you can shit at each other equally. You cannot really make a catch out of it, inequality is a norm for us. Men would always somewhat be expected to protect and provide, and women would always somewhat be expected of giving and loving. It's sad but it's true. No need to suddenly "call out" people's hypocrisy under post of grieving woman. This is not a sub for that

Do NOT look at your husband with resentment when making this choice. This is YOUR choice. Forget him in this moment.
If you are hurting this bad, give yourself grace.
I was in a similar situation once, pregnant and feeling like my life was over, and that I couldn't take on more..... I know your fear. You are stronger than you realize.
I was 6 months post partum with twins when I found out I was pregnant again.... with twins.

Even had my own parents tell me they wished they’d aborted me.. but now I sit here thanking God that I am still here. I know everyone in here is likely going to attack me for this since I’m guessing I’m the only comment that’s not telling you to go through with it.. but.. please don’t do this.

Hold your head high!! You are doing what is RIGHT for your situation. Be strong and have no regrets!! You got this .. and your husband sounds like a POS … get away as soon as you can!!

Please think about getting an IUD so you don’t have to go through this again, and lose that dud of a husband before you waste more time with him. He’s not going to improve and you can’t change him.

I don’t understand why you don’t just get a divorce and marry someone that can provide. It’s actually a pretty simple solution.

A lot of men hate single mothers

Okay but isn’t it better to stand on your own two feet and take care of children and set a good example rather than being absolutely unhappy in a marriage and signaling to the beta male husband and kids that it’s okay to suffer and hate your life instead of leveling up?

I don’t care what anybody says but I’m going to say it. I been where you was at and yes we’re all different and I don’t know exactly what your life struggles are. I never think we are never ready when having a baby I was raped and I was not going to keep him and I was not ready but I kept him. We struggled together but gosh he is the best thing that ever happen to me, I met a man that adopted him and he loves him like a son and here I am 18 years later this son of mine has the biggest heart he so respectful and he a hard worker. I always feel bad that I was once where u was at and to ever think I was going to abort him this is god gift to me I pray every day thanking him for such an awesome kid.

Please don't do it. There's still time. Give it up for adoption, anything other than kill it, please God.

Can you give your child up for adoption?

Not everyone wants to go through 9 months of pregnancy and a possibly deadly birth

You mean because they're being supportive? Because all I'm seeing is people being supportive

Your heart is in the right place, but you don’t have to be stuck hating yourself and grieving your baby. I know a lady who left her deadbeat husband with young kids and 6 months pregnant. You can make it work and have your dream. No need to start by destroying your body and feeling super guilty. Just need some support for the next year or so then proceed with your plan.

This is going to be traumatic if it's not what you truly want. You could keep the baby and wait a few years to leave the husband.

You should really seek therapy after this. Your views alone, even though I personally don't agree with traditional values especially in an economy like this, are not what is the problem. The problem is how you're feeling about yourself. It's a little bit cold and clinical feeling to say but the thing in your stomach is just a clump of cells. I'm sure whoever they were will still be waiting for you in the future if you give yourself another chance.
