First
Aww, he left something for you to remember him from. Thats so sweet.
This isn't YouTube bud.
If you have nothing meaningful to contribute, especially if you are the first comment, then don't ******* bother wasting our time and a first comment on informing us that you were *gasp* first to comment.
I agree
Well as long as it was his...
Was his??? Well then what changed that?
Hahaha sucks to suck!!
A lot of comments on this FML seem like people are taking this personally.
30-something that rhymes with smishsmortion
Idk why the baby being his would b a good thing since he left...
90- the pregnancy test read positive...
92- I know but why is it a good thing?
Are u seriously this stupid--mars13
So you had sex in the time took for it to show that you were pregnant and you were already divorced? Unless he cheated or something rash like that I would figure that the sex would end well before you were pregnant and divorced...
117 possible, but still, pretty late to be having kids
93 - Op means the only thing positive in her day was the pregnancy test so positive as in 'yes you are pregnant', she doesn't mean the only good thing. There are two meanings for positive.
I believe mars13 was referring to the poster of this comment who said "well as long as it was his" like as long as it's his baby it's all good. Also, even if she is older it doesn't say they were trying for a baby. I don't think they would be trying for a baby anyways as it is pretty apparent things probably weren't going to well in their marriage.
My dad is 66 and he has a 17 year old
I think there are 2 options for the "was his part", either shes aborted it, or shes not going to let him have contact with the child.
OhDearBetrayal - women can have children safely well into their 40's and even 50's in rare instances. Yahoowizard - Who the hell are you to decide when people should and shouldn't have children?
135: My mom was 41 when she had me (:
148- thank you I was just referring to the comment. I know there are two meanings to the word positive lol but people kept saying that her getting it was good and I didn't think so, so I wanted to know why.
my mother in law had her last baby at 42 and she was fine, it actually seemed like if she got preggo pretty easy...as if in she did not have any problem trying. (she told us it was a "surprise baby, not planned out thou).
Hey OP, two words .. Child support :p
I think the reason it's an fml is because he divocred HIM while bieng pregnant. And his lawyers might be able to say by doing that she wanted to raise the kid on her own. Thus losing child support and other benifits.
Ur a dumbass
272: I know it's pretty common, but im not convinced people under 25 are mature enough for marriage. Maybe not even under 30... Actually scratch that; I don't think some people will ever be mature enough for marriage. (Girls and guys both)
Divorce ain't looking too great now, is it?
Uhh, I'm 18 and have been married for two years. Also my mom was 37 when she had me and is now 56 and my dad is 63. :)
274- I actually completely agree. I feel like people nowadays don't take marriage seriously enough, or don't understand what responsibility/work it really is at times. And there are some people, who are never mature enough to understand this, but get married anyway because of numerous societal expectations and such. Hence, divorce rates in this country are ridiculous. 293- I don't know you, so I can't say how mature or not you are, and by no means do I judge you for your decision. But I cannot even IMAGINE tying my life to someone forever at 16. I have just barely begun to live my life and become the person I want to be. So how could I promise someone the person I am today is who they'll have forever, when I know that I (and my life) will be totally different ten years from now? And I'm 22, and have been in a great, stable relationship for three years.
Docbastard: after 35, it is recommended that women not have children as the chance for down syndrome and other birth defects are much higher. This is fact however, my 39 y/o cousin just had a healthy baby. Regardless, I doubt women in their 50's will be having babies as they should have hit menopause by their late thirties or late fourties. You have to understand that women know their child bearing limits.
We all understand she's freaking pregnant, but how is this a good thing when she just divorced the father!?
Wow you're an asshole.
Does it, now?
Haha. Conquered you made me laugh. Everyone was all serious then here you go saying "barbecue sauce" Lol ._.
There's a button for "That sucks" you know. It's way easier to click once than to type. Conserve your energy for the apocalypse and stop posting obvious comments. c:
I will find you, and I will kill you.
Barbecue sauce rocks.. especially on bacon!
324, I thought the same thing. However. here is a theory: In CA, once a request for a divorce is turned in, months later a judge makes their decision, and after the involved parties are granted a divorce, they aren't divorced for 6 months. So maybe the original poster meant the judge granted the divorce today and they had sex days before someone requested the divorce?
...was?
so.....
Abortions pizza your loss is our sauce!
Steves abortions no fetus can beat us. You **** em we suck em!
His pregnancy test? That's what I got out of that...
My guess abortion or shes going to be a bitch about the divorce and not let him have contact with the child
174 - how is that being a bitch? 20 years is a long time to just end it.. You don't know the entire story so judging just makes you look like a fool.. And if he's a deadbeat then damn straight I won't let the guy see the child
Gotta love that double standard. The mothers posting on this fml all seem to agree that they have all the rights and the ex husband should just shut up and pay, and be happy to do it. I say if she agreed to divorce him before she knew, he should be treated as an anonymous donor. Let the op take all legal and financial responsibility for her choice to raise the child or not.
221 You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite commenters to read. As I read through most of the comments on this FML I found myself thinking along the exact same lines as you have in pretty much every situation. o_o
Am I the only one wondering why they were still having sex if their marriage was bad enough to get a divorce?
She could be as far as three months along before noticing, and they had angry sex or make up sex back then before realizing a divorce was imminent.
most woman go into menopause at like 50ish
That's definitely going to put a bit of a bump in any new relationships...
Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Show it anyway#8- It's not really fair to say she's going to screw him with the child support, it's his kid too, and he deserves to pay any child support needed.
you don't even know if she got alimony not everyone is as big of an asshole as you 8
Exactly^^.. He better ******* pay it. It's called child SUPPORT for a reason
Just tossing this out there? If she divorced him, why should he have to pay child support? And let's say it's slightly different circumstances where she knew she was prego before the papers were served. It was her choice to leave, shouldn't she have to take all the responsibilities associated with leaving?
211 that's the stupidest thing I've heard in quite awhile. First of all, just judging by the way the fml is worded, I'm assuming she found out after the divorce. Second of all, you should not have to stay in a loveless relationship because you are pregnant. The father of the baby should still support his kid, no matter what the circumstances. He made half the baby, and he's probably half responsible for the divorce. And even if he isn't, he still shouldnt get anal about supporting a baby he helped make.
It's her child, her right to choose to keep it or not. The only part he has in the process from here on out is to pay for her choices. The "it's half his" argument is seriously getting old. If he has the responsibility to pay for the upbringing, shouldn't he get some say in it? Maybe a fair chance at custody? Option to let the mother keep the financial responsibility along with the child if he does not want it and she chooses to keep it?
211- You sound pretty ******* dumb. My dad pays child support on me even though he and my mother got a divorce. He is VERY involved in my life. The divorce hasn't changed anything. He buys me nice things, and still pays a hefty amount for child support. He tells me that whenever he gets a raise, I do too. There are some good- hell, AMAZING fathers out there. And if you have a child with someone and you separate, you STILL have to pay child support. Just because you divorce doesn't mean the child disappears.
It's his child too. Why is it that it's only their child when it comes to child support payments but it's HER child when it comes to deciding anything about that child, or custody?
IMO, if you've been married and had a child together than later on decide to get a divorce then so be it, you take responsibility for it because you both went in expecting everything to work and it didn't. But when the child is conceived in a time when she plans to leave him then it seems like it is entirely her responsibility. As far as he is concerned he is still in a marriage, and therefore knowing that sex may lead to childbirth is not necessarily a bad thing to him. She was the one having doubts and reconsidering the relationship while still engaging in sex, so in a way he was deceived. I know the courts would rule in favour of what is best for the child, which makes sense, but it doesn't change the fact that the father was effectively screwed over.
276 where does it say that she wanted the divorce? It clearly states it wasn't a good day for her so maybe he initiated the divorce and she got pregnant during their last encounter. Maybe they tried to make it work but failed. It's his kid, he has an obligation to be there physically and financially as does the mother!
Congrats!! At least it wasn't a positive HIV test.
Baby back baby back baby back ribs. What?
What?
What?
In the but.
132 - Your comment would be a lot funnier if you spelt "butt"correctly ;)
If it had been "in the butt," she wouldn't be in the condition she's in...,
133, That's why you don't go on FML in the early hours of the morning. By the way, you're freaking cute. And by you I mean the turtle sunbathing behind the girl in her sundress.
I've seen this before.
