The decision to have a Pregnancy Termination can be a difficult time for the male partner.
Ideally the decision should be a mutual one. However, because it is ultimately the woman’s choice, many men feel powerless and isolated.
Not only can they feel ‘left out’ but also ‘abandoned’ by their partner who may be so caught up with dealing with her own feelings that she may not see how the situation is affecting them.
A man may also experience feelings of relief, regret, sadness, anger or guilt. It is important to seek help if you are having difficulty coming to terms with the situation.
Counselling is available to Male Partners upon request.
Should you require further help, we can refer you to organisations that provide ongoing counseling care. It’s important to bear in mind that it is quite normal to experience a range of feelings. You will not be judged or thought less of because you have decided to seek help.
Please phone the clinic nearest you for an appointment if you would like counselling.
