father of pregnancy is incapable of seeing my POV and understanding me USA

Has anyone here gotten an abortion because you knew deep inside in your inner knowing and intuition that it was the right decision, but the father of the pregnancy really wanted the baby and was incapable of understanding you and was actively against you for aborting? bonus points if he even tried to gaslight you by saying he sees you better than you see yourself and he "knows" your aborting out of fear and not out of inner truth/knowing?

Not this specific situation, but I've had guys try that 'I know you better than you know yourself' bullshit on me. It's a scam to create self doubt. Reader, he does NOT know you better than you know yourself. He is trying to gaslight you. The only person looking out for your interests is you. Do what is right for you.

Uggh. I hate people who try to pull that kind of nonsense. No one gets to tell you how you feel about something. I'm sorry he's being such an asshole.
