    I think this happens more than some people think. I know a woman who had two abortions but I've never told anyone. It's her secret to tell. But the father (he fathered two kids by her) did find out (not from me) so that helped relieve me of any guilty conscience. I think it would be harder secret to keep if I was keeping it from the father. Of course it would depend on which person you were closer to also.

    Wow! Once again the choices that we make impact more than just ourselves. Hopefully, she will be able to live with the choice she has made. Also, if the father of the aborted child is the one who she is now married to....hope he is understanding. Safe sex is always best.

    You are such a great friend for not telling him. I think sometimes you have to keep secrets from those you love. She would have ended up with a child she never wanted and that would have caused more pain that keeping this from her husband.

    i agree with brody when sometimes we keep secrets to prevent hurting those we love because that in itself can be the most hurtful.

    I feel you. My best friend had a situation similar except she was away at college. She was seeing this guy got pregnant anf when she told him she was pregnant he acted like a total loser. It turned out she decided to abort, she told me and asked me never to mention it again not even her parents. I never did tell anyone. I also know two other girls who have hid thids story from their parents.

    Wow, I can understand her not wanting him to know. But i would have suggested having the baby and putting it up for adoption instead.

    It seems to me the mother of your best friend was hoping a trip to romantic Paris would bring the couple closer together and eventually resulting in the marriage. Instead no marriage then an abortion happened and it is beyond me why this best friend who got pregnant would seek advice from a male friend who has no idea about the emotional isolation and emotional fear, a female experiences, when at such a crossroads of deciding between life and death, the termination of innocence. She probably has experienced, to some degree guilt, over the years and you as a best male friend should have kept your opinion to yourself and referred her to her mother, a sister, a female friend, clergy, rabbi, a nurse, doctor or counselor. What that child might have been if given the opportunity to live and be adopted…perhaps a wise best friend.
