Support for Men

What about you?

Have you just discovered that your partner is pregnant?

Have you seen the pages on this site about sexually transmitted diseases? Do you think you might have one?

Have you experienced abortion or supported a girlfriend's decision to abort your baby in the past?

How do you feel about it?

It's important that she knows how you feel about it too.

Do you feel okay about it? Or do pressures and worries take over?

You're at college, and there's still a long way to go?
You weren't that serious about the relationship?
The responsibility of a child seems overwhelming?

What if you're just not ready?

We care about women and the men they've been involved with. Just need someone to talk to? We have trained male peer counselors we can refer you to and meet with you about questions like these. Call us at 235-0690, even if it's just to talk.

You may feel relieved that you don't have to make the final decision. Many men say to their partners "I'll support you whatever you decide..." which seems to be a loving thing to do but it places the whole burden on her.

Some women sense what their partners really want and go along with it because they are afraid they will lose the relationship. She needs reassurance that you'll be there for her. She may guess wrongly about how you feel, she needs to know what you think...and what you feel.

How you can support her:

Reassure her that you are there for her
Communicate and help make decisions.
Share the responsibility.

Look through the information on this site and give us a call at 235-0690. We want to help.
