Today, I got a text message from my ex from about a year ago, asking if my 4-day-old son was his. I don't know what's sadder - the fact that he thinks a gestation period can last 11 months, or that he's more willing to step up to the plate than the baby's actual father. FML

A man doesn't have to be a biological father to be a daddy!

And I'm sorry to break this to you... you're an asshole little kid, let him or her believe what he or she wants to believe, have some respect if you want to be respected. I am not religious at all and I'm not an asshole to religious people just because they worship something I don't.

please don't have religious debates over the Internet, they don't go anywhere, you never change anyones point of view and atheists always look like bitches. (I'm an atheist too so atheists don't bitch at me)

I agree, but honestly technically it's 10 months and maybe op math isn't right. women usually find out that they are pregnant when they are a month a long then it's nine months left.

Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception; in women who have a menstrual cycle length of four weeks, this is approximately 40 weeks from the last normal menstrual period (LNMP). The World Health Organization defines normal term for delivery as between 37 weeks and 42 weeks.
4.3 weeks (30-31 days) per month = 8.6-9.7 months.
There are rare cases of up to 11.5 months gestation.
So while it's possible, the "normal" gestation is not 10 months.

not all women find out they're pregnant when they're a month or more along, some find out just weeks along, AND pregnancy does not last 10 months, pregnancy typically lasts 40-42weeks (40wks/4.337weeks a month = 9.223months. douchebag

I'm honestly baffled! Are people actually arguing about the length of gestation months? Fact: Pregnancy is approximately 9 months long. And how does that even concern this FML? clearly she knows he is not the baby's father. I think OP's ex just forgot the last time they had sex. Either way, I'm curious as to why he didn't ask you this while you were pregnant? If he was that concerned about the baby, I'd think he would have at least helped you out some during the pregnancy.

maybe she didn't tell him, and maybe that's when he found out, after the birth. still he called to find out the truth cause it raised some concern for him. a lot of guys wouldn't even had bothered till court date for child support!

It definately takes a good guy to be willing to step up like that, without you asking for it. I'm sure he doesn't remember exactly when you guys were together last. Maybe he just remembered you guys were together in the winter time or something. It's not like thats the date someone wants to remember

I find it funny how girls always complain about guys being senseless and stuff when you girls are equally as bad, the thing is though, guys tend not to complain about it. also I would find it quite difficult to believe you DIDN'T grow up around guys. (rolls eyes) -.-

birdfreak, it's because you made a generalised comment about ALL men. Not all men are (sometimes) senseless, just as not all women are (sometimes) sensitive.
Anyway, gender shouldn't be a factor here. The father of her baby, an individual, seems to be a bit 'senseless'.

Guys don't complain about it? That's just as bad of a B.S. generalization as the original one. The guys I hang around (and I pretty much only hang out with guys) complain constantly about the insensitivity of some of the women in their lives. Both men and women can be insensitive bitches, and both genders complain about the other gender being insensitive. It's an annoyingly endless cycle that will probably continue until the end of time.

No, but he's her ex. OP would be pretty cruel if she starts a new relationship with her ex who she doesn't love, just to use him as a father.

I'm sorry - it was so obviously an unsustainable lie that I didn't think anyone could take it seriously. Evidently I was wrong (save for 124 there).
