Got pregnant for my roommate’s boyfriend

-

Dear Pastor,

I am 19 years old. I came to Kingston and I am staying with a friend. She and I are the same age. I was living in the country with my mother and stepfather.

My stepfather and I couldn’t get along. He was always telling lies about me to my mother because he did not like my boyfriend.

His boss had a son and he was encouragin­g me to have a relationsh­ip with him because they have money. He called me a fool and told my boyfriend that he should leave me because I had lots of men.

Pastor, I did not have any other man in my life but my boyfriend. He asked me about it and I asked him what time would I have with other men since he was always around. I told him he could go if he wanted, because I have always told him that my stepfather didn’t like me.

I am not working, so my friend in Kingston told me that I could come and cool out with her because although I told my boyfriend that he could go, I did not expect him to. He was the first man I had sex with.

I am in so much trouble now because my friend has a very sexy boyfriend. He lifts weights and is proud of his six-pack.

ADMIRING HIM

He is not afraid to take off most of his clothes while I am here and exercises and shows off himself. Sometimes I have to pretend that I am not admiring him.

One Saturday, my girlfriend went to the hairdresse­r and he wasn’t wearing much clothes. He started to show me how to keep my stomach down.

He lifted me up and unconsciou­sly we kissed, and that was the beginning of things. Before my girlfriend could get back, we had sex twice and we did not use any condom.

I am now pregnant for this guy and I don’t know what to do. My girlfriend is going to kill me for having sex with her boyfriend.

I never thought that I would do that. Now my ex-boyfriend in the country is going to believe what my stepfather said about me.

HE CHOSE ME

This guy does not want me to do an abortion. He said that he and my friend never used the condom because they wanted to make a baby and he would prefer to leave her and be with me now that I am pregnant.

I feel so guilty. My girlfriend doesn’t know that I am pregnant. Nothing is showing as yet, but I am planning to leave here very soon.

I can’t go back to my mother, so this man would have to work out something for me. I am asking you please for your advice.
