Default pregnant. ER

hi. im pregnant. im in my mid 20's. no prior children.ive been having lots of stress and the father has distanced himself due to a fight that has nothing to do with it. we never wanted kids, and wanted to be completely established before we would even consider it- but contraception did not work and now we have a dilemma. i care for the father very much and have been with him for years, but as of right now i dont know if we will be together. i dont believe that a baby should be raised in a non stable environment. i prefer to have both parents together..and with the economy going the way it is, im worried that i can not provide enough for the child. i dont want to depend on any family much even though they are ecstatic. you can see my predicament. i also do not want to keep a baby knowing that the father might have resentment or dreams of his own that have not been fullfilled & that too can heighten the stress in a child's life. im trying to make the best decision. my god father thinks i will regret keeping a child at the prime of my life. the father will feel negative no matter what road i take..but he truly thinks this is a bad time. anybody with experience or advice? thank you.
