My girl friend has been pregnant for 5 months, and she was ready to get married with her boyfriend. Just at the happiness time, the boyfriend told her that he didn't love her any more and wanted to stop the precess of the wedding. Listening her voice by phone, I can feel that sad, helpless, the hopeless for future...all the bad mood were full of her..... She asked me what should she do? But what should we do?

I've heard that story before. All I can say is life should go on. To hell with that boyfriend that dumped her. He's not worth the love of that wonderful child. She should embrace motherhood and be strong. She may have lost a boyfriend but she gained something better in return, a precious life. She should take things a day at a time, surround herself with positive people like friends and family that really cares about her, get away from negativities and move on with her life.

I think your friend should continue her pregnancy and try not to get too upset when she splits with her boyfriend. It is possible to be a single mother. It can be that a lady becomes a single mother then meets a decent man five years later. Your friend's boyfriend isn't ready to become a husband yet. He doesn't want to get tied down so I suggest your friend lets him go. In time your friend will be happy again. When she has her baby she will love him or her dearly. Good luck to your friend, healing her broken heart given to her by a disappointing man.

Child alway is the innocent sufferer. During this bad time, she always put the hands on her belly and said sorry to her baby, sorry for the single-patent family she will bing to him or her... Although she does know she will love the baby in her heart and soul.

There isn't anything anyone can do but be there for your friend. She really needs her friends support more now than ever before so be there for her. As for her boyfriend, he's an azz! What a jerk! He loved her enough to get her pregnant! He will get his in due time. Just watch it happen but don't wish it because it could come back on you. Just watch it all unfold and he'll get his one day!

I know this may sound cruel but I guess your friend should let that guy go. If he does not want to marry her, so be it. Your friend can cry all she want,it's understandable. But after crying,she should pik up herself and start finding a source of living for her and her child. It is much better than forcing the guy to marry her. The marriage might not work out and the guy might even blame her for the misfortunes that may come in their way.
"Do not push yourself to people who will not value your worth."
That's the best thing I could tell your friend.

He may want to stop the wedding but this is still his child. The child has done nothing wrong. If they don't get married that is one thing. Maybe he is just gettinmg cold feet I don't know. But he needs to step up and be a part of that babys life. I don't care if they are not together that is the babies fathers and I think way too many people take that for granted. He need to help support that baby because he helped make it. She didn't do it alone. If he can't be a good person in that babies life then he still needs to help support that baby. This is what society is comming to and I for one hate it. Take some responsibility for you actions. The child is what is important now.

Yes, at least as the baby's father, he must be in charge of the child support, no metter the baby will be brought by anyone at last...

As a counselor, I can tell you that she will probably be devastated for a time. While I can't give you any professional advice, I agree with some here that it is actually better that he is showing his true colors now, instead of waiting until the wedding, the baby's birth, etc. to break up with her.
Give her as much support as you can and encourage her other friends to do so as well. Giving her a shoulder to cry on & someone to talk things through with will be invaluable to her during this time. If her sadness remains or gets extreme, suggest she see a counselor. Even if she's not in danger of hurting herself, it may help her to talk things over with someone who has no personal involvement in her situation. Many places offer these services for free to low income persons. She really needs to take care of her emotional needs now so that she can concentrate on becoming a mother in a few months. My heart goes out to her! I will pray for her, too.

Im feel sorry for your friend...but I think you cannot do anything about that... atleast her boyfriend backout before the wedding and not during the wedding and after the wedding or else there will be more damages...
As for now I think she needs lots of support from her friends and love ones to help her cope with the pain... Let her know that it happens sometimes... and shes not the only person who have a baby without a father.. yeah it is hard... but we have to continue living... time will heal everything.. and everybody deserves someone better..
Lets just pray for her....hope that everything will get better

If the pregnancy is already 5 months there can be no thought of abortion.
Would your friend want to raise the baby by herself, at least until she finds someone else ?
If not, then adoption is an option.
I think that the most harm was done to her morale. She will have a harder time trusting another man. Do you think that you can help her with that ?

I really, really fell truly sorry for your friend, some men could be real pigs.
The only "good" thing is that her boyfriend left her before the wedding, so she won't have to suffer for the process of the divorce with a baby in her tummy.
I just thing she should ask for the help of her parents, friends, relatives... I'm sure that, after something like this, she won't have any problems finding the help she needs. I am so sorry for her.
I don't think that there are words to make her feel better now, but I guess time cures everything. My best regards to her and her baby, I hope everything will sort out in the end.

If the boyfriend has cold feet simply talk to him and give him time to adjust to what is about to happen. If the boyfriend is simply a jerk then she should be happy that he's gone. There will be pain, don't get me wrong that is a sensitive place to be but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Make sure she has all the support and shoulders to cry on that she needs. Being 5 months pregant she doesn't need any excess stress.

In my own opinion, I would advise that she apologize to the boyfriend even though she may not have offended him in the first instance but just to let the sleeping dog lie. Wedding is at hand and preparation is on high gear. For this you must not give chance to the devil to penetrate. Go on your kneel in prayer to let God torch his heart and believe me, there is nothing impossible for god to do.
