Confused soul who thought she knew it all...

Question - (21 December 2010) 7 Answers - (Newest, 24 December 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hard to determine what my relationship status is with this man however it seems to work for both of us. He's an aquarius and I'm an aries (both independent souls) Started off as friends who met online from a social network and about a month later met in person briefly. Since the day we met in person...we always kept in touch and with in the last few months we've been hanging and even have been intimate. Shoot it was 4 or 5 months ago when we first kissed and we've been talking since April of this year. Anyways from the time we first slept together about 3 months we've never used protection, he knows I don't use birth control for certain medical reasons and that he is my only partner. Thing is I think I may be pregnant and I'm not sure if I want to have anymore children as I am already a divorced/single mother of 2. He's also a father from a previous relation long before me who takes good care of his kids. I think we are both content on that level.

I don't know what to make of all of this...

petina1 agony auntAfter 3 kids you maybe should have tackled this problem by now. You need to see you GP who will advise you on multiple choices of contraception. If your partner knows you arent taking birth control it shouldnt come as too big a suprise if you get pregnant. I think you are playing with fire.

Astrology isn't the guide to love but its definite a guide to insight of persons nature and personality. The mentioning of our zodiacs was to provide you with an idea of what our personalities are like w/o going too much into detail. I've been as responsible as I can be in my situation...meaning I closely monitor my monthly cycles and avoid intercourse when I most fertile. Though accidents are bound to happen and what happens in the heat of the moment just does.

By the way being a single mother of 3 would not be a financial hardship as I am well to do. I'm just comfortable with where I am at in my life and am not really interested in having any more kids...thats all.

Thanks for the response Petina1 and in response to that. The risks for STDs...always a concern especially if you have multiple partners and/or a partner who may be screwing the whole neighborhood or even maybe on the downlow, lol. I screen myself every 6 months and I make sure that my partner is and has been tested. I can honestly say that I feel confident that my friend isn't a hoe and has put me at risk on contracting an STD. I think my main concern is if I am pregnant how to do go about breaking the news to him? If I'm not how do I establish new boundaries to prevent a pregnancy on both parts?

Condoms, condoms, condoms!

Anyway, it's too late for that now. Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Millions of women have faced this dilemma before. You will have to make a decision that you can live with.

Good luck and all the best!

petina1 agony auntMedical condition stops you from using any kind of birth control, that in itself is very risky. If you arent pregnant I'm sure it will be down to pure luck. If you arent then you must also consider that STD's are on the increase and those diseases arent very nice either. I think that you need to find out what it is you want out of life, because if a child is coming along that will be your fate.

Me neither . . . . !

If you play with fire you get burnt. There's at least 4 kids between the two of you and possibly another on the way now. Do you feel you've been responsible as far as birth control goes?

Quite what your astrological signs have to do with any of this totally escapes me.

be prepared to continue as a single mother of 3 when he hits the road.

Sheesh!

olderthandirt agony auntAstrology isn't the guide to love...Oh well, too late now. While I persobally don't think abortion is an option you may look for an adoption agency. A single mother of three dosen't sound like an option.
