Help! An Unwanted Pregnancy Is Ruining My Life. by Priceless007: 6:37am On Jul 24, 2021 |
Hello Nairalanders, It's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short and to the vital points. Please endure the length. There's a girl i met at a theological college in where I was studying to become a clergyman and also learning a skill under the civil engineering department of the college. She was my junior in the course, as I was a year away from graduating from my first course, while she was just a fresher. She was always having issues getting through her courses and projects and would always ask for my assistance since I was the course rep in that department. It was forbidden to have any intimate relationship with your course mate or anyone in the college for that matter, the penalty would be expulsion. But unfortunately for me, out of sheer lust and seduction on her part, and gross indiscipline and lack of self control on my part, I got intimate with her and we ended up committing fornication during one of our semester vacations. And it just happened once, of which out of deep regret and remorse I confessed the matter to the college Admin when the next semester resumed. We were panelled, after which I was suspended, while she was expelled. During this time I was learning a skill sponsored by the college, of which I use to get paid some weekly stipend. After I was suspended I was also stopped from continuing my apprenticeship, because I was not to associate with any of the students or lecturers in the school while my suspension lasted. So I was without a job and without a source of income since I wasn't yet mastered on the skill. The condition that was given to me to resume my studies and apprenticeship was that I should go and get married before I could come back to college, so as not to be tempted to repeat my error. But I wasn't ready for marriage whether financially or any other wise for that matter. So while I was contemplating my next move, this girl came to me that she was pregnant, that she needed us to go and see her parents. I told her I had no money neither was I ready to father a child at this point in my life. I pleaded she should give me time to think about what next to do. Two weeks passed, and I called her to enquire about her welfare but her number wasn't reachable, I decided to go to her place, but I was told she had travelled a week ago to go see her family. A week later, I received a call from a woman telling me she was the girl's mother, that her daughter came home with a pregnancy, and she asked me if I was responsible for the pregnancy, I answered her in the affirmative. She then asked when I was coming to see her family. I told her I wasn't sure about coming to see them that I needed to speak to the girl first. She said okay, then later that day the girl called me, and I told her to come back for us to talk deliberate on the way forward. When she came she told me her parents (who are by the way divorced) will not accept her nor the pregnancy without me coming to see them for marriage arrangements. I explained to her I wasn't ready for any such thing, that I have a calling to answer and a course to finish, that what happened between us was just a stupid and careless mistake that has been as a setback for me to achieve my goal, and that I was ready to overcome the trials and get back on track, and I explained to her that before then I had neither dated nor been intimate with anyone for over seven years, and so any kind of relationship or marriage was not even in my nearest future plans, and besides, I didn't even have a job, not to mention having enough money to embark on a marriage plan. She said she would never accept such excuse, that I should look for whatever means to make sure I come see her parents before her pregnancy becomes obvious. She also said that she needed money to move her belongings back to Imo state where her family resides. I agreed to raise some money for her. I went to do some menial jobs and raised some money, about ₦20k, which I gave to her and she traveled back to Owerri. From then on her parents kept calling and pressuring me to come and see them for marriage arrangements. I told them I was going to come, but just to introduce myself to them as the person responsible for their daughter's pregnancy not for any marriage arrangements. But they disagreed, that if I wasn't ready to come for marriage that I shouldn't bother coming. I pleaded with them to give me enough time to look for money to come and see them, but they instead started threatening me with court cases and arrests, at one time they brought the girl and some soldiers to my family house and harassed my family members including my mother. So I later traveled to Benin city to go look for money. After one week of my arrival in Benin, I lost my phone and I couldn't retrieve my number. I lost connection with them until I got back to Uyo where I got her phone number from a friend of hers. At this time, I was told that they came to my house several times with police officers claiming I raped their daughter and impregnated her then absconded. At this, I established contact with the girl again and she told me that I should not bother her that she wasn't in the mood to talk to me, I kept calling her but she often ended up abusing me or we often times ended up in quarrels, so I left her alone for sometime. Two weeks ago I related the matter to one of my distant uncles, who advised me to gather some money and go see her, I called her and told her I wanted to come and see her before she puts to bed, which is expected to be sometime next month (August). But she told me that she still stands by what her parents had said, if it's not for the marriage issue that I should not come, that I should rather send her the money I would use in coming so she can use it to buy the baby clothing and buy some hospital requirements before she puts to bed. I called her parents and they told me the same thing, and said if I don't come for the marriage agreement before she puts to bed, that after she's delivered of the baby I should forget ever coming, and should never mention that I have a child anywhere not to mention coming to claim it ever in the future. And that I should just forget about her and the child. The issue now is this, I am a bit frustrated because I seem to have lost everything at the moment because of this issue; my calling, the skill I was learning is gone, I have no job aside the menial jobs I do at construction sites which isn't available regularly. Now the little I have saved so far, I am contemplating on whether to use the money to pay for my skills training and continue with it and start my life afresh and forget about her, the child, and her parents, or use the money to support her in her hospital requirements for her delivery. Because I don't want to be seen as abandoning her when she is in this condition, and I also don't want to give up on the child, though I'm not capable of taking care of the girl and the baby right now, and probably, I might end up getting married but not under my present circumstances. I know I've made a grave mistake and this is the consequences for not being true to myself and my calling, and I deeply regret it, and I've suffered for it in any way I can possibly imagine, but I also need to put my life back in order, because right now I'm so devastated that I'm contemplating terrible alternatives to survive the storm, I'm at a very critical moment of my life and I just feel like giving up on life altogether. Please I need your help and advice on this issue. Thanks. PS. Please if anyone is willing to teach me any skill, I would be very grateful and willing to learn. 231 Likes 21 Shares |

This story long sha. You're really in a tight situation I advise u go and see them face to face before she puts to bed. If they see u , they may not overreact. Talking to someone on fone is really different from seeing the person. If they still insist, go and get your professional certificate and skills first and make sure you keep calling her even if she insult you, u will have to bear it b bcoz, "na u cause this wahala for you self" And it appears u lack self control, try and deal with that. Anytime your pen!s stand @tension, just go bathroom deep am inside cold water e go relax by force. And that may save you from trouble! 268 Likes 19 Shares |

We all make mistakes sometimes. You have made yours. In my opinion, you should have gone with an elderly person to see her people pay her bride price only and explain your condition to them and plead with them to also help you take care of her till you get back on your feet. If you abandon and forget about this baby now, in about 20 to 30 years later, you will begin to regret it. 352 Likes 16 Shares |

Priceless007:How are you sure that the pregnancy belongs to you, considering what you have narrated? Come on, it is possible it isn't yours, and she has cleverly pinned it on you knowing you are a bit naive about relationship in particular and women in general. Even after you accepted the pregnancy without due diligence, why didn't you visit the family and ignore the talk of marriage that was their term of reference? No reputable family would be happy to see their daughter put in a family by a man who seemed distance, disrespectful, and "irresponsible." So I will urge to go see the family and explain your financial situation to them, especially now she is weeks away from giving birth. You didn't commit murder! My take on this issue, going by your disposition, is that you don't really love this lady enough to marry her. The claim of not having money now is a mere subterfuge. In any case, her family wants you to show commitment, make a promise that you are going to accept her as your wife. I would advice you make such pronouncement without much ado, because it will be beneficial to your career progress. 192 Likes 18 Shares |

You ought to have shown up at her family's house by now with an elder or two from your family. Once she gives birth, the child would bear his/her maternal grandfather's name and you can't go claim the child. It is good to know the traditions about a child born outside marriage in the community where the woman comes from especially in igboland, for some the child would bear the name of the grandfather even after the mother marries while others becomes the child of whoever pays the mother's bride price....ask! 29 Likes 3 Shares |

Hm see how devil just used 5mins madness to destroy your peace and career... Like why can't you people just be like Joseph in terms of self discipline... Even the girl. Your parents sent you to school and the very first year, you're already sleeping with a man. Without protection for that matter.. If she's someone that has sense, should sex be the first thing she should go and be pursuing immediately she got to school or her career? SMH.. You see, that time you were about to engage in the act was when you should have done what youre doing here now. That is, reason and ask yourself some of the questions you're now posing to us. It is then you should have reasoned you didn't have a job yet and not ready to father a child or get married. The bible that says flee every appearance of evil is correct after all. You better go and see the family because the didn't force their daughter on you in the first place. So, now you don buy market, go and carry your goods. Everytime Sex sex sex.. sex that doesn't give you a happy ending, is that one sex? When I tell people I've been celibate for many years, they think it's because I'm trying to form super girl. It's because of all these nonsense super story that you men come up with once there's any little mistake plus the fact that my body is the temple of Holy Spirit and not for any coconut head man who's just looking for anywhere to ease himself. Mtcheeeeewwwwwww. Modified Those of you calling yourselves a hypocrite for a harmless comment I made are the real hypocrites because if you were the girls parents, will give the op a bear hug for doing that to your daughter? What you cant take, you're here advising someone to do it to others. Generation of vipers. Keep encouraging evil. This is the opportunity you're supposed to use to condemn such wrong and immoral act so that the small boys and girls here can learn and desist from it, but you're busy spewing trash all over the place. Before you know it, it's already at your door step staring you in the face. Then ill see how you'll handle it with a wide smile. 103 Likes 7 Shares |

Wahala be like POS business, e dey every junction. Una dey knack for theology school, una no even fear. The devil is very smart, he just arrnged temptation keep for you for where your journey start, lack of self control didn't allow you see the Potiphar's wife sent to destroy your life. Worse is while you have hope of going back to the school, she was expelled and now has a baby on the way. It couldn't have cost you anything to take one or two of your uncles to go see her parents, explain to them that you don't have a job that you're doing now and can't support but they should provide you with a basic list for traditional rites so you can save towards it. If they are reasonable parents with a daughter who is pregnant out of wedlock, they'd be lenient with the list. This isn't going to be easy as a job is hard to come by and learning a skill will cost you and mean you can't even earn to support her or the baby. For those who will stumble on this, if you know your calling or purpose on this earth, flee from sexual sin. Nothing destroys destiny like it. 122 Likes 9 Shares |

Priceless007:Guy relax jor! You made a big mistake but you just have to move on and live life. Na you dey suffer yourself. It's even possible that you're not responsible for that pregnancy. That both of you had sex together shouldn't compell you to marrying her. Did you rape her? Did you force her? Did you talk about marriage before the sex? Her parents and all the people threatening you must be mad! NONSENSE. DEM GET LUCK SAY NO BE MAD MAN DEM DEY TRY DAT TRASH WITH. Forget about any marriage now and focus on yourself and the baby alone if they allow you to have access to the baby later. Forget about the threat of losing the child. I WILL EVEN STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU MAKE SURE THAT THE CHILD IS YOURS BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY BEFORE YOU START TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIM/HER. In the future, the child will definitely locate you whether anyone wants it or not. Girls and some parents can just be very egocentric, foolish and manipulative. 71 Likes 6 Shares |

And someone had the temerity to quote this essay? Some people no dey fear oh. Send her the cash to support her with the baby stuff and get on with your present hustle to raise enough cash for your skilling up. I wished you could have sorted yourself with the girl, but at the end of the day, marriage no be by force. Do not sever contact with her no matter what.

Op, just move on! A marriage starting on threats and harassment is no marriage! Imagine bringing armed forces to compel this poor dude into marriage! It speaks a lot about the prospective in-laws, their cantankerous character, and the troublesome would be wife! I hate people who resolve family matters ( which should be a civilian affair) with militarism. Send whatever you can afford occasionally for the child's upbringing and NEVER have anything to do with marrying her, not because you don't have the wherewithal but because they have not demonstrated the capacity to be instruments of peace! What were they expecting the military to do? Throw you into jail? Will you marry or cater for the kid while in jail? Arant nonsense! 95 Likes 11 Shares |
