Today, I found out I'm pregnant. It's okay, I know who the father is: my ex-boyfriend, who moved to Japan last week. FML

juno_op tells us more.

Hiii, I'm the OP. thanks for all the lovely comments, although there's a few that aren't very nice. I'm 24 btw, not 16, and I did use birth control, but you do know it's only 99% safe, right? These things can sadly happen. And we broke up because he was going.

Some how he figured it out before you did and he got the heck out of dodge!

I hope for your baby's sake that you two broke up on good terms, and that it wasn't a really rough split. If you choose to have your baby your ex can still help you provide for him/her, it just won't be as simple since he's in another country. Good luck, OP. Definitely a tough situation.

Protection, protection, and more protection

Did you not read OP's comments? Protection WAS used. It does have a fail rate though, idiot. Whaaat, were they supposed to be doing it completely covered in latex? 'Cause-cause that only works for some people.

did you even read ops comment. she was using protection but nothing is 100%

Why go to Japan when you can be a mon-soon to be father?

You realize that there are people from countries other than America who are against abortion, right?

And adoption is an option for those who are opposed to abortion.

Awww no!!:c Be happy, you don't need him. I bet you'll be a great mommy to that little munchkin :3 Just by being there for your baby will pay off when it gets older. He/She will have lots of respect for you.

It's far better for a child to have both parents in their life than to have one. If OP can find a way to raise the baby with her ex then she definitely should.

That is an ignorant and untrue statement. If two people aren't compatible anymore, the child is infinitely better off with one parent, or seeing them separately than they would be in a loveless home.

I was raised in a single parent home and I turned out perfectly fine. My mum and are very close and I have infinite amounts of respect for her. Many others were jealous of my home life growing up because my mum would spend more time with me and my friends than their parents would with them. Unless the parents are in a loving relationship and look after their child(ren) properly then it's all good. If not then single parent families work just as well sometimes better.
