I just ended a relationship with the man I love about 2weeks ago because he wasn't making me happy. Just yesterday, I started feeling nauseas and my head hurt so bad and I've been making a lot of trips to the bathroom. I don't know if I'm pregnant but I suspect. If I am, should I tell him?? I am very young and I'm not ready for a kid. I don't think he's ready too. Please don't judge me and say "well if you ddin't want to get pregnant, why did you have sex?" I DON'T NEED THAT BULL RIGHT NOW! I just want to know if I should tell him. I know he has the right to know, but I don't know if I'm going to keep the kid (as much as I want it , I can't because I want to be settled).. I'M SO CONFUSED! HELP!!

Yes, if you are pregnant you should tell him. This is his child as much as it is yours. You two can make the decision together. If he tells you that he doesn't want anything to do with this - then he made his decision and then you do what is best for you.
Are you think of abortion or adoption? If your thinking adoption then, I believe, you would need the father to sign off on his rights.

I agree with Nowwhat. This is his child also and he should have a part in whatever decision you make. If you were in his shoes wouldn't you want to know and be involved?

Why don't you find out whether you are or not first!

You need to tell him, he has the right to know even if you decide not to keep it.
