I've got two of my own and I thought I was done ... and then the unexpected happened.

    That's a difficult situation. No wonder Cary had some trouble with it. There are no good answers. From what you said, I think your marriage will be over if you get an abortion. Maybe not right way, but sooner or later. Is it possible that you feel backed into a corner here? Is there a way that you could not feel that way? I'm assuming that you were a willing participant in the conception. Did you think you couldn't get pregnant? I'm just trying to put this in perspective and hopefully make you feel a little less like you are being forced into a situation you don't want. I have an idea...why not find a couple to adopt the baby with the (written) understanding that they will give your husband occasional pictures, updates, or whatever. It could work. Maybe some counseling for you as well. Give it a try. It might help.
