You do you girl! I think you need to decide if you want to have the baby or not. If you're considering abortion look into the facts... A lot of research shows that it won't impair your ability to have kids later etc. Its safe and healthy. And a totally valid option of you choose that, as is keeping it. I think that it's nice you want to include your manager in the decision but honestly it's your body and your choice. Do what's best for you. I don't think the age difference is a big deal at all, or relevant to the situation. I also don't think you necessarily have to switch firms or notify HR if you terminate the pregnancy. If you choose to stay with your manager and have the baby (or stay with him and don't have the baby) I think it's better to at least switch teams but you can both work at the same firm. It's a little messy but in my group we have several married couples who just work on different projects.

If this is real, I would seriously suggest talking to a psychologist about what the best thing to do would be. They are like mental independent auditors. They will give you unbiased advice. Changing jobs may put a lot of unneeded stress on you and the little one.

Yeah, I'd just clean it out. No real financial benefit unless the manager is married and you could possibly get some hush money. I may have been watching to much scandal. Lol

yea that's a pretty considerable age gap. If it was 2-3 years it would've seen more normal or if you were a senior and he was a young manager. He could get fired if people find out.

Question for moms. I’m getting married next year and have several close family members that will have babies ages 8-11 months old by then. What are some ways I can support the moms and make it an enjoyable experience for them? We have a separate room at the venue that I was thinking could be offered to the parents to use, or potentially hiring a babysitter for them (either at the venue or back at the hotel). I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.

Pregnant wife is having small portion meals lately, so i asked why she is eating less than usual.
