Tldr question: Has anyone been in similar situations and how did it effect you as a man as you got older or in short terms? Me and my boyfriend accidentally got pregnant very soon into our relationship, birth control failure, but decided to keep the baby regardless. Mostly probably from pressure from those around us and fear of being judged if we didn’t. But she’s here now and he keeps saying he wasn’t ready and I knew that. I did. But I also wasn’t ready. We’re also young, he was 17 I was 18, now 19 and 20. He’s not taking it well at all, been having emotional outbursts, majority of the time refuses to help with our daughter. It took him 5 months to hold her but there’s been improvements. I could go on about the situation but that’s not important what’s important is if there’s hope he’ll come around or if I doomed him and I both because he wasn’t ready more so than I wasn’t ready. submitted by /u/MorphCat_el-vy
