| Should he be told when you start discussing life and marriage. |

| I would come clean about anything he wanted to know about me. Lying and secrets is not the kind of relationship I want. |

| Yes, I agree with the others. Lying is not a part of a healthy relationship. |

| If he asked directly I would tell, but, I think depending on the circumstances surrounding an abortion it may not be nessesary for them to know. If it was thought to affect fertility it would constitute a need to tell them too, it would only be fair especially if they really wanted a family. |

A potential husband...... No.

| But this begs the question: does a man, who got a woman pregnant, who then had an abortion, have an obligation to tell a potential wife? |

| An abortion is a major life decision. If it continues to affect you then it will eventually affect a partner too. It will come to their attention eventually and there will be less hurt if that happens sooner rather than later. |

If he were upset at the other woman for killing his child... sure.
It tells a lot to the new one. |

IF? What about him supporting the other woman's decision for abortion? I think the potential wife has the right to know that as well just as you agreed that the potential husband had a right to know. Honesty goes both ways or is this one-side? |

The reason I said IF was to convey the fact the man felt a loss and is mentioning it so he may have a say.
But since a man ULTIMATELY has no say in regards to abortion... it does not go both ways. |

| Fred, I said if he supported the abortion. There are men that don't want to be fathers and they ask and want the woman to get a abortion or they say they will not be forced to be a father. Now Fred, answer my question about 2-way honesty and revealing past decisions like abortion. Does he not owe her the same disclosure that she owes him????? |

Yes and no.
Yes if he feels he needs to be honest. I can see your position.
No, because he is not the one that actually committed the act. |
