I would love a reply from men to find out how they feel...
Just over 5 years ago i was with a man who i though i loved and who loved me and i assumed we would be together 4ever, but i was so wrong...
To cut a long story short, i got pregnant and went to england to get rid of it... For the next 2years i continued in a relationship with this man but i was so hurt and devasted by what had happened it totally consumed me... I wanted, needed, his help and understanding but i never got it... Everytime i tried to bring the subject up he told me to leave it go it was in the past and to move on and get over it, what was done was done... One day i started to cry and asked him did he know how hurt I was and his reply was that what had happened had hurt his pocket, meaning he had to pay for it... I swore that day i would not speak of it again to him and shortly after i ended our relationship and to this day i refuse to speak to him...
I have so many bad feelings towards him, and can not understand how things did not affect him and hurt him the way they did to me...
Can anyone shed any light as to why they think this could be???

I believe that men do feel a sense of guilt and shame but they don"t know how to express it to their parnter so they sweep it under the rug and try to pretend that it didn't happen.  I want to think that they have to care deep down in their heart because it was a child that they created too. It doesn't excuse their behavior but I believe they build up walls and that's why they don't want to discuss it. When my husband and I were younger we did things the wrong way, we weren't ready to be parents, I was scared and I had an abortion and I didn't think it had effected him but years down the road he finally opened up and shared that it did effect him and he was feeling a sense of guilt and shame. The hardest thing is forgiving those who hurt you and I think in your healing process you are going to have to find it in your heart to forgive him for not understanding. God will take care of it. Just trust in him..
