Want An Abortion Because He Cheated On Me - Alcove Health Women's Clinic - Newport News, VA - Virginia

I want an abortion because he cheated on me

He cheated and you feel alone: Now what?

You had your life all pictured in your head: when you would get married, when you would have children, and what your career would be like. But then you found out he cheated on you. Now fear, panic, sadness, and a host of other emotions are setting in. If you think you want an abortion because he cheated, an abortion consultation may be exactly what you need right now.

While your first reaction may be one that seems like an escape hatch, this is no time for a reactionary decision. You have time to think this decision through and consider how it will impact your future.

There are four things to consider before making a pregnancy decision:

1. Am I Rushing Into This Decision?

You may feel pressure from others giving you advice. It is often well-meaning advice, but if you are feeling pressured this is a classic sign that you should slow down and think this decision through. It is important to look at this situation from all angles before deciding.
 

Give yourself time to process the emotions you are feeling about your relationship. If you want an abortion because he cheated on you, there are a lot of emotions to unpack about your hurt over him, regardless of the pregnancy. There is a lot to consider and slowing down to process the reasons for your emotions will help you make a good decision for you.

2. How Are You Going To Feel About This Decision The Rest Of Your Life?

Sometimes we make decisions based on current circumstances, then later we look back on that decision and wonder if we would have made a different decision if we’d thought about how the decision would feel in the long run. If you make a quick decision to have an abortion because he cheated on you, that decision may bring you regret in your future. Take the time to sit down and consider how you will feel about this later in life. Give yourself time to think about how it will impact your future.

3. What Does The Abortion Procedure Consist Of?

Having an abortion can impact your reproductive health, so you owe it to yourself to understand the procedure and the risks involved. You also owe it to yourself to be prepared for any emotional difficulties you may encounter immediately following the abortion and in the future.

4. What Alternatives Do I Have?

Slowing down and making a decision that is right for you involves considering other options that you may have, including: adoption, finding resources, and leaning on family for support.

It is always a good thing to make sure you have considered all avenues for a decision that can change your life.
