I’m pregnant and I’m going to keep it no matter what. The problem now is who to give the pregnancy to.

I have a boyfriend I’ve been dating for the past two years. He’s loving and caring but doesn’t have money. He does his best. I see his effort. I’m unemployed. I completed my national service not long ago and I’m looking for a job.

When I was doing my national service, I met my father’s friend, whom I turned to for financial help whenever I needed it. He was kind and sometimes gave me money even when I hadn’t asked for it. A few weeks ago, he asked me to meet him at a hotel where he was having a conference. He told me he would introduce me to a friend who could give me a job.

I was in the hotel room with him after the conference when this man jumped on me. It was a struggle. I didn’t see it coming. I even begged him to let me go so we could do it another time. I didn’t shout. I gave up struggling and let him have his way. He apologized afterwards, but there was nothing I could do.

I haven’t seen him again, but within the week that it happened with him, I was also intimate with my boyfriend. In fact, it was more than once or twice, only for me to find out I’m pregnant.

It’s a difficult position to be in, but the decision to keep the baby isn’t negotiable. My boyfriend wouldn’t be happy to hear that I’m pregnant, but he also wouldn’t suggest I should get rid of it. I’m also not the kind of girl to pretend what happened with my dad’s friend didn’t happen. I’m between a rock and a hard place.

She Would Introduce Me To Rich Men Who’ll Give Me Money

My faith leans toward my boyfriend’s direction. It’s my prayer that he’s the one, but what if he’s not? I don’t even know how to break the pregnancy news to him. Should I tell him I’m pregnant but I’m not sure if it’s his? Should I be honest about what happened between me and my dad’s friend? Won’t I lose him afterwards?

It’s hard. It’s chaos in my life right now, and I don’t know whether to go left or right.
