    We decided together to have an abortion. The day after, he told me he was overwhelmed by the situation and my emotions weren’t helping and he needed space right now. It’s been 4 days since, and I haven’t heard anything from him.

    He told me he loved me and we had made plans for after everything was taken care of, but now I’m wonder if he even wants to stay together. We had been dating for only a couple months. Do you think space is all he really needs and we can move on together, or am I being stupid thinking he wants to be with me?

    If you’ve only been dating for four months, and during that time you got pregnant, decided to have an abortion and then had one, you haven’t had the normal chance to get to know each other. You’ve been in crisis and had life changes separately, and together — only you don’t have a strong “together”. And there hasn’t been a lot of light fun. 😳

    My advice is to wait and see if he comes back to you. He may be too overwhelmed by the experience to process what happened, and his feelings of disappointment and conflict, quickly. He also may link them to you instead of processing his own part in the situation.

    There’s nothing you can do to rush him. Just keep the door open and try to be understanding.

    Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 😀
