OMTM,

I thought you should read a reply Gordo made to butterflykisses in negotiating in marriage section: http://www.marriagebuilders.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=000416

Here Gordo is telling a woman that she should stay with her abusive husband, just as long as he doesn't put her in the hospital.

Give me a break. Gordo isn't here to help anyone, since his/her debut on Aug 27th of this year. This person is here because he doesn't have a life and is here on this board to be hurtful.

Gordo does say that she should never give up. Of course he's referring to the marriage where the woman is being beaten. Funny isn't, how he can tell her to never give up but advise you to give up asap. I hope you can see that Gordo is playing head games with you and all of us.

Gordo is not real so please, don't listein to him. I've followed many gordo's in my career and I know a fake when I see one. Even if he is only a virtual fake.

Gordo's quote:
"I am sorry that you are going through such a difficult time. I agree, it is important to never ever give up. It doesn't sound like he beats you that much, and as long as you don't end up in the hospital you can handle it. Just be sure that you both keep going to counseling because it WILL get better.
Keep the faith,
Gordo"

I think that Gordo should be ignored. Maybe he/she will go away.

Throughout history there have been terrible, terrible tragedies and horrible wars that have taken the lives of many, many innocent people, causing great suffering. But in spite of these evils, the spirit of the human soul rebounds and rejoices. And we continue to repopulate the earth.

Apparantly there are those here who have no knowledge of history and prefer to expound old outdated sixties retoric! God never promised any of us we would have a life free of strife or heartache. These things are just part of the human experience. Those who expect life to be a warm incubator to protect them from life's misery is unrealistic and foolish. Life can be painful but it can also be filled with the most sublime joy, wonderous gifts and breath-taking beauty...for that alone, we should bring children into this world. We are not God. We cannot be so pompous to suggest we should eliminate lives because life is tough...what a cry baby. We must take the good with the bad.

You will do exactly as you are supposed to do in the grand scheme of things and have your child and either give him to a loving two parent family or keep him/her and raise it on your own and with God's blessing, perhaps you will meet someone with a big loving heart who will love your child as much as you do.

Good luck in your decision making....
