To tell or not to tell?

[sabs]

For those of you who have had an abortion in the past, have you told any of your partners about what you have been through? What was their reaction?

I told Mr Pippa about my termination after we had been together about 8 months (basically when I felt we were 'going somewhere').

All the time before that he would bring the subject up occasionally & say that he totally disagreed with abortion. When I told him he was shocked, but genuinely understood my predicament & my choice. Since then his view has changed ~ he can now think of the bigger picture and has the same view as me in that abortion is far from being a nice thing and in an ideal world it wouldn't exist...but understands why it does exist & why the choice has to be there.

I have told most of my partner(s) about my abortion but only when the relationship has been semi-serious and I know and trust the person. All, without exception, have been completely understanding, did not judge my actions and appreciated that I made my decisions for the reasons I thought right at the time, maybe I have just been lucky.

Sabs, just checking answers and stuff and I expected more response that this as I am sure Pippa will agree. Not sure why you are asking this question but do not be deterred by the lack of response. This subject came up very recently and there were many more replies. Just checked the time of your posting and perhaps everyone was going to beddybyes..

Will try and find the posting and include it in a link, I don't think the previous posting was specific to your question but it may / or may not be of some help depending on circumstances.

cheers, warpig1
