our neighbor has another woman

Philippines
April 23, 2013 4:41pm CST
our male neighbor is married and has two adolescent kids. i see them as a happy family. i was shocked when my mom told me that he was asking for any drug/medicine that could possibly abort a baby. according to her, her impregnated a co-worker and he wants to get rid of the baby. not only did he have an illicit affair with another woman, he also wants to kill the innocent life. i condemn abortion. for me, it's nothing but murder.

...you are right, "unless there's a big risk in the life of the mother".

i think that in times where the life of the child and the mother are in crisis, i think it's just better to abort the baby. or maybe in cases of ectopic pregancies.

Such mundane carelessness and disrespect for other people's lives! I am not an angel, but if he seems to have a very happy family, why did he even think of having an affair and think of aborting a child who is innocent of their craziness? At least he should be a father to the child instead.

He should have thought about it when he made that move from the start....sometimes, the intention of just having a one night stand worsens because of wanting to really have a relationship. And once the woman becomes clingy, there is no escape.

maybe he was afraid for his family to find out about his extra curricular activities.

I am also against abortion. For sure your neighbor knows what is right from wrong and for me since I don't really know the whole story other than basing it on your discussion, I cannot easily judge them. If I'm also you I cannot just close my eyes but I can't also just talk to them. What I can only do is pray for them to have the conscience of not committing abortion. It's a sad reality that there are plenty of irresponsible and selfish people doing the act without thinking of the consequences.

i guess that's the only thing that i can do. praying that a divine intervention would happen.

In our world today nothing is impossible. For us to survive we must strengthen our patient on things around and be on watch of the product of what we are doing. For me abortion is not a crime as long as it will be done properly. To abort is better than to raise an unwanted child and let him suffer on the wildness of cruel people. If we trust GOD, we must believe that whatever we want will not succeed if GOD will not approve. He is trying ways to abort the child but if GOD will not approve then it will be born whatever effort he tries.

i agree about your comment becoz i tried it to my self and prove that if that baby is yours then no matter how tried you to attempt to abort its no harm the baby inside,now my baby turning 8years old now..

if he tries to abort the baby and won't succeed, there are chances that the child may have abnormalities when born. i'm sorry but i'm really against abortion unless it is done to save the mother's life which is usually done in other countries.

Having an illicit affair is already a mortal sin and taking the life of an unborn baby make sit all worse! Tell your mom that she should not implicate herself in such evil acts because it will only make her an accessory to the crime.

luckily, my mom doesn't know anything about this practice so she was spared from that crime.

What kind of people are they? They cheated and now they want to abort the baby inside the womb? OMG!!! They are crazy! I don't condone abortion, yes I got pregnant at the age of 18 but I raise my child and let him see the beauty of the world.

i'm glad you faced he consequences of young pregnancy. are you still together with the father of the child?

Oh that is horrible thing to do. I wonder why he would ask that from you their neighbor for that. I really think that he should stand for what he did and try to let the child be born and he should support her and accept the responsibility of fathering his/her unborn child. If it was a mistake having a relationship with his co-worker then I think he still has to be responsible and accept the consequence for it.

well, it's clear that he's a coward and just wanted to run away from the responsibilities.

Whatever he wants to do, he has no right to get his neighbors involved in his problems. I am shocked that he asked your mother about abortive meds. He has no sense of decency. Shame!

my mom and him are quite good friends. maybe he was kind of "comfortable" about asking my mom regarding that topic.

as i have read your post, as for me, abortion is not an option. but, i guess, the best thing to do now is to advice your neighbor so he can be enlighten up on the situation that he is encountering now. sometimes, we tend to think of a quick remedy just to patch up what has been committed at the moment, hence, we didn't think what would be the consequence after sometime. and, it is really hard to think when you are in the midst of an agony.

well, i think it would not be good to tell him directly to just continue with the baby unless he seeks for advice.

Wow, that's so bad. I couldn't tolerate that too. Shocking. He's solving his problem with another problem. Oh my! He's already doing something bad to his family and he's doing another bad thing to his unborn baby. Tsk tsk. Why do some people do that? I don't understand. Some people can be so bad sometimes. God forgive him.

i think he's a good person. i guess he's just frustrated and so desperate to cover up for what he did wrong.

First of all I think that if you have happy family , 2 kids and a calm life you have to be responsible on a high level so for me this is absolutely an intolerance. So ruing your own life doing this nonsense is kind a unfair about your family.Eventually this is his own life and he could make everything he wants.
• Philippines

it really is unfair for his wife especially the kids. i don't know if he pushed through with his plans. i just wish he won't regret it in the future.

well it matter a win-win situation,,if he raise the baby her family would probably lost...if he abort the baby he has a chance to fix his family.. Well i cant judge becoz i just read the small piece of thier situation.."-)

my point here is if his family especially his wife won't know about this, he may do it again in the future.

i feel that the man taking a life is immature.its murder and it doesn't change what happen between him and the co-worker. keeping the child now may seem like a mistake but later in d future, i will be glad that he didn't do it.

if the baby is born with an irresponsible father, there are things that can be done to compensate with that. if her mom is really loving, i don't understand why he won't grow as a good person. i think i'd be willing to take a risk to deliver the baby.

It took years for me to STOP condemning others, or throwing stones at people's glass houses. No matter how I may feel about some one Else's life decisions, it really isn't my business, especially if it doesn't directly affect me. Show me a perfect person, and I show you a liar.

well, we can learn a lot from other people's lives. our thoughts here won't even reach him after all. but we all can learn something.

We can never really tell how a person lives his/her life. It's sad to know that his family looks happy yet he is having an extra-marital affair, and now on the verge of aborting the baby. I think he is happy with his family, and just had a sidetrip with another girl to break the monotony. I will never really know his reason for doing such a thing. But getting rid of the baby is just a manifestation that he is not really serious with that girl, and that baby will only cost him his family, and he is not yet ready for that. I hope he gets to his senses, and face the consequences of his actions before it's too late. The baby deserves to live.

This sounds like a lifetime movie on the lifetime channel. I don't condone abortion but what people do is none of my business. He will not be able to do anything about the baby if she is not willing. Unless he is going to tell her the pill is for the pregnancy without her knowing it so she lose the baby. I know I watch to many crime shows. Who knows she probably wants the abortion and was to embrassassed to go to the store to get the medicine.

i don't think he can kill his unborn baby if the woman doesn't allow it. it is the would - be mom who will decide on this and i hope she decides well for the sake of her unborn baby. i hope your mom didn't help him. he has no shame. he knows he is putting your mom in an awkward situation by asking for her help and yet he did. i know your mom must be caught between deciding whether to confide in the wife or not. this is hard. that man has no qualms in involving other people in his private affairs. he didn't even think about the consequences of this on your mom. if she helped him and the lady decides to abort the baby, she will become an accomplice to this horrible act.

my mom didn't tell anything to his family. she said that she doesn't know any medicine about it. anyways, she has no background about it.
