He thinks he's too old to have a baby, but I'm pregnant

Im 28, and my boyfriend is 47. We've friends a couple years, and for the past 6 months we've been romantically involved. His big issue is that he thinks he's too old for me, he definitely does not want more kids, and if I were to get pregnant, he'd insist that I had an abortion. Well, I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm not sure how to tell him, and I'm scared of what his response will be. Any suggestions?

All I can think of is to figure out clearly for yourself whether you want to have the baby, and then let him know you are pregnant.

Perhaps other readers will have other suggestions.
