Oh, what a difficult position he has put you in! I have been thinking of your posts for the last couple of days, and the term "unconditional love" keeps coming to mind. That is the way good and healthy love is - unconditional, and he putting a huge condition on his love for you. I can't help but wonder what else he will ask you to give up do to prove your love for him.

I also know that even if you do decide to place your child, and you don't have any contact, your child will not be gone. While he might not physically be in the room with you, he will be there. Every minute of every day. You will not forget him or why he is not there with you. I can't imagine even the best relationship surviving the kind of resentment that Lovemy2boys mentioned previously.

I think that if the ONLY reason you are considering placing is your boyfriend, you need to really consider how you would feel about your choice if he decides to leave you despite your placing for him in a year or two. Talk to your family, and look into your heart. You know it better then anyone!
