    Thanks. My life's a fucking yo-yo right now. I got sacked just after the new year, then un-sacked about 4 days later after agreeing to work an extra hour a day for my boss for the next 2 weeks. I found out two days after being sacked that this girl was pregnant. And now it looks like she's gonna have an abortion.
    Hmm..It's a good job I've got a sense of humour or I'd be fucked.


    is all this the christmas edition of Eastenders 2008? ;)

    Thanks. I kind of figure things are worse for her though. I was trying to imagine how it must feel for a girl to have an abortion and I imagine there must be no worse feeling on Earth.
    In comparison I'm just a selfish/irresponsible bastard.

    I've helped friends through this and yep, it seems pretty devastating. You were both at fault and it doesn't make things easier but, and I know it sounds like a cliche, just be there for her and try and be strong. There's not much advice anyone can give ya. Stop being selfish/irresponsible for a while and help her through it. Do everything you can to make it go as 'smoothly' as possible.

    Awww Byrnzie. Such a difficult decision.... Well, whatever your friend decides, I'm sure all of this made you think about a lot of things and discover quite a bit about yourself. I hope things turn out the best for the both of you (whatever the outcome). And in this kind of situation, you are not the only one being selfish/irresponsible - it is a responsibility both of you share - again, whatever the outcome.

    not disapointed, we are just concerned for your wellfare cos we love you :) xxx

    the comparison you have shown through this event so far is wonderful, you should be proud that you havent turned your back on her and as H said help her through the next part.

    after that (sorry to sound like your mum) but maybe you should get checked over for STD's and keep your rain hood handy !!!!!!!!! ;)

    i dont think byrnzie needs advice or lectures ... he knows what he's done and he has to deal with it in his 'real' life.


    he's a top bloke is Steve and he's probably having a shit time of things as we speak... so why people feel the need to come onto the thread and then tell him what he's done wrong beats me? :confused:

    Yea, it's mine. I'm kind of glad she wants to keep it. She knows that I'm not gonna be a permanent fixture in her life or anything, but I told her I'll be around as much as possible to support her.
    How touching.

    Well all those people being so judgemental.. mistakes are made but at least Byrnzie was trying to do the right thing in a situation that is far from ideal. He was taking responsibility, supporting the lady in her choice to keep the child and wanting to be there as much as possible and supporting his child. After the initial shock, even warming up to the idea of being a dad. Though now all that seem irrelevant as the lady changed her mind and may have an abortion. There again, Byrnzie did what he should have done... supporting her yet again in her decision and taking care of things financially. Both him and the lady knew that nothing was long term. Byrnzie is a visitor in a foreign country, far away and everything is therefore temporary.

    He could have been a bastard and not cared and done a runner. A good number of men wouldn't have thought twice about that... Go back home and forget about the foreign fling.

    Is this what the world has come to?....someone takes proper responsibility for something with which they are clearly involved, so they deserve some sort of praise?

    (not a knock on Brynzie...he seems like a top bloke).

    Believe it or not, women DO get to a place in their lives where they make a decent living, decide it's time to be a mom, and find themselves a sperm whale. And those women might not even have ulterior motives about trapping anyone or wanting to get married (ick).

    But... guys don't get credit for acknowledging a responsibility & not being a coward.

    Do you give people credit for only taking one newspaper out of the rack, when they could easily take all of them, even though it would be stealing?

    I'm not praising him for doing what is right, just acknowledging he is not a total bastard as some of the posts may suggest (though not said in such clear words). He's a good guy, no need to dump on him (or anyone else for that matter!).

    Um.. no? And I also don't give people credit for not pushing old ladies off of subway platforms in front of oncoming trains, even though they could easily do that as well.

    I respect what Steve was trying to do..just was concerned both for him and the baby as in practice it would have been very complicated ...seems She started thinking about that too..

    now Steve, you need to find the right woman and start all over again ;)

    Congrats. I'm terribly sorry, you stupid, stupid man;)

    I'm joking. It's gonna be great. Sleepless nights. ER visits. A.M. feedings. Thoughts of suicide. Really, it's awesome.

    I'm dumber than you though. I've done it 3 times.

    Steve, whatever happens, kudos to you for remaining engaged and participating in the entire situation. And for knowing yourself and being realistic. Takes courage and wisdom to work through situations such as these and as far as I'm concerned you are showing both. Whatever happens, I admire you for all that you have done and are doing. For what that's worth. :)
    NOPE!!!
