reader, anonymous, writes (17 April 2009): I feel for you, but the issue of a child is something that he should be prepared to deal with if he's having sex with a woman without protection. You should absolutely tell him about it - you're both equally responsible. Does he think you're on the pill or something? Or is this Russian roulette?
Well, I would tell him exactly what's going on and how you feel about it, what YOU want to do and then give him some time to absorb that info. Honestly dear, if he accuses you of "trapping" him, or if he can't rise to the occasion and be supportive to you, why would you want to continue in a relationship with him? Don't tiptoe around his commitment issues - he needs to grow up. And you shouldn't bear the stress of this situation alone. Good luck. And start using protection!!!
