DEAR DEIDRE: MY girlfriend has told me she might be pregnant but she has also asked me for space. I’m so confused.

We’ve been together for a year. I was working abroad for the last three months of last year.

Things were rocky between us when I got back and we split up.

My girlfriend is 31 and I’m 33.

I went out with an ex then.

She’s 28 and single and we had a brief fling.

My girlfriend got in touch again saying she missed me, so we gave each other a second chance.

When we had a heart-to-heart about who we had been with, I confessed about my ex.

My girlfriend couldn’t seem to get past it.

I was going to propose to her on her birthday this year but she asked for space this week.

Now she’s told me she’s missed her period.

I love her but I don’t want to have a child if I can’t be with the mother.

DEIDRE SAYS: Tell her you love her, that the fling with your ex meant nothing and you will support her however she handles the pregnancy – that must be her choice.

My e-leaflet on Unplanned Pregnancy can help.

Be patient because her hormones are all over the place and she is facing a big decision.

If she goes ahead with having the baby, please be the loving dad every child deserves.
