I don't know what to do. After a few successive drunken hook-ups, I broke it off with this girl and told her I am not looking for a relationship. I invited her to dinner the next night to make sure everything was still going to be cool with us working together and she told me she was pregnant. I didn't believe her at first but she is.
She told me she was on birth control too. Come to find out her last BC injection was six months ago. As much as I want to blame this all on her and throw accusations in her face, I know that i was stupid to not use protection in the first place. This is my fault too.
I do not want this baby. I am 28 years old, have a decent job, about to apply to a master's program and i live a stable life but i don not want this life long commitment nor do i want a permanent connection with my work-friend.
I am also an atheist so I have no moral objection.
She is not a bad person. Despite the evidence, I don't want to think that she did this on purpose. i also don't think she has slept with anyone else. but I am scared that she thinks that keeping this baby will somehow ensure that We will be in a committed relationship.
How do I deal with this? is trying to convince her to get an abortion the wrong thing to do? Should I date her so she feels secure with my company, therefore having no reason to have this child?
What do you think my obligation is to her?
I am frightened that i have fucked up my life that I have worked so hard to get back.
