Do you and your partner plan to stay together?
If you and your partner plan to stay together, it’s essential to keep honesty and open lines of communication. This means telling your partner what you’re thinking and letting them share their feelings about your decision.
If your partner does not agree with an abortion, it is essential to listen to their reasons so that they feel heard and understood. While only you can make the pregnancy decision that’s right for you, listening to your partner will help you understand where they’re coming from.
Are you afraid for your safety?
If you fear for your safety, telling your partner may not be the best idea. Or if you tell your partner, it will be essential to tell them in public.
If you are considering abortion because you are in a dangerous life situation, there are resources available to help you choose parenthood and adoption (your other pregnancy options) and keep you safe. Contact us today to connect with one of our caring team members and learn more.
