My gf just told me that she's been pregnant twice with two different guys. She had one abortion and one miscarriage, and we're barely out of high school. I really don't know how to handle this, it really freaks me out. Plus all of this drama in her life has made her a very emotional and depressed individual. I don't know what to do or how to react.

To much water under the bridge

Maybe you should screw her one last time on Christmas and dump her?
-
That was uncalled for.
-
Didn't seem uncalled for around your birthday, though.

If my girlfriend told me that (who wasnt out of highschool) and we werent in love, i would say "good bye"

Er... How old did you say you both were? If she has been with a lot of guys (evidently without contraception) you might want to get yourself checked out for std's.If you truly care for her (ignoring the last thread that you made...) you'd be able to look past those problems and support her through it, but I guess being so young it will put a lot of pressure on the relationship. Has she heard of contraception?
-
Yep, me too.

I don't think past experience by itself need be a problem. People can make mistakes and learn from them. But if she is emotional and depressed, you need to consider whether you can handle it. It's not likely that you can change it all - depression can be treated, but people with emotional characters tend to stay emotional.
In terms of day-to-day handling it, the most important thing is to provide a steady shoulder to lean and cry on. Is your shoulder up to it? -
I don't know, I thought I loved her, but when she told me this I felt kind of dirty. I knew about the abortion and It had taken me a while to convince myself that it was no big deal, but when she told me that she was pregnant again, I just felt like running. I don't want to see her hurt, I don't care what I posted before, I really wish I could change things for her, but I just don't know if I can.

I guess I should probably realize that once I move out of this small town, I'm going to encounter women with shady pasts that never get revealed. I really respect my gf for telling me all of this, because I know there are a lot of girls out there who would never say anything. You know the fact that she was pregnant doesn't really bother me all that much, what bothers me is to see her hurt so bad.
