In 2016 I was living with my long term girlfriend. We had been together for 3 years at this point. We were connected at the hip the second we met even though we lived in separate cities an hour apart. Never could see thing going bad. She was my best friend and I loved her. We moved in together after a year.

Well, by 2016 things turned bad. Very bad. There was no infidelity but the relationship was not salvageable by this point in my opinion. We were both cold to each other and I didn't even recognize the person I fell in love with. She was gone and sex was 'almost' non existent. Well, during one of those 'almost' times she became pregnant.

We both agreed immediately that we had been careless and selfish to put ourselves in the situation. She felt like abortion would be the best decision. I supported her in that decision and even encouraged her to think 'rational' and not feel bad about her decision. Afterwards we never really spoke about it and we were completely done within 8 months.

Well, I just got through watching a youtube video of a young Woman describe her personal journey in this world. As I listened to her story, I began to get a deep, DEEP overwhelming sadness for the decision made by my long ago ex and I. A sadness I can not explain. I was always pro choice and believe I will always be. Right now however, I feel a deepened sadness that I potentiality robbed someone of their unique journey and i am so sorry for that.
