Love, Kids and Pregnancy: Father material

Father material

Today, I did a pregnancy announcement with my boyfriend and our families. My boyfriend acted happy until we were driving home, then claimed I pressured him with witnesses, started to cry because he doesn’t want kids, and by the end was begging me to give it up for adoption. FML

Nice guy

Today, I announced to my boyfriend of 5 years that I was pregnant. He gave me an ultimatum. Either I "get rid of it" because he’s "not ready to be a dad" or he’ll "put me out on the streets." I’m unemployed and have nowhere to go if I keep it. FML

Trapped

Today, I told my boyfriend I was pregnant. Instead of being happy, he freaked out, then told me I was trying to "trap" him. We've been together for 12 years, and trying for 3. FML

Save yourself

Today, I had to offer my boyfriend a no-hard-feelings opportunity to just leave. He never wanted to be a dad, but since we accidentally got pregnant and had our son, I’ve watched his mental health go downhill so fast I was afraid he’d kill himself if he kept forcing himself to stay with us. FML

Happy days

Today, my girlfriend told me she's pregnant and I did not take it well. She had planned to record my happy reaction for Facebook; instead she got video of me bursting into tears, and trying to talk her into an emergency abortion. She sent it to my parents to punish me. FML

No kidding

Today, my pregnancy test came back positive. My boyfriend is no fan of fatherhood, so it was with some hesitation that I called him and let him know I'm pregnant. He replied, "Like hell you are!" and hung up. He now refuses to answer any of my calls. FML

Cryptic reaction

Today, I found out I’m pregnant with the man I’ve been in love with for almost a year. When I told him, he got down on one knee, cuddled my abdomen and said, "Get out." FML

Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML

Yeah, sorry, hold on. You absolutely do not announce a pregnancy to your boyfriend at the same time as everyone else in your life. You talk to your partner and the baby's father before you make a big announcement. And you should also probably take into account whether you have even had a discussion about kids before and if either of you are actually ready.

Wait... You didn't tell your bf before you told your families? It also sounds like you hadn't discussed having kids with him before either. YDI

Be prepared to raise the baby without him, if he keeps insisting to give it up and you want to keep it. Sue for child support.

Yeah you totally deserved this one. Sounds like you guys did not discuss this at all. Which is a major life decision unfortunately, Based on what you said, it sounds like you're going to raise this kid by yourself.

Why would you not tell your boyfriend before your families? And it sounds like you didn't use protection, in which case YDI. And it also sounds like you guys never even discussed kids... so why were you not using protection???
