Today, I was sitting in IHOP with my girlfriend of six months when she brought in her son of three years she had neglected to tell me about, and asked 'Does this change things?' FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, things were going great with my girlfriend of six months. She knew I had kids and it seemed to be getting serious, so I decided to introduce her to them. After dinner, I walked her to her car and she said, "That’s real nice but what are you going to do with them once you and I have kids?" FML
Today, as I had a chat with my boyfriend and a couple of his friends, one of them had brought up my boyfriend's son and his other child who was due any day now. The conversation would have went well, had I known that he had a son and a pregnant girlfriend. FML
Today, we've been dating for over three months, but I went over my girlfriend's house for the first time. As we walked through the door, I was greeted by a little girl whose first words to me were, "Are you my daddy?" FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of six years has a five year-old daughter. FML
Today, I had dinner for the first time with my boyfriend's parents. It was awkward enough without his mom asking, "So, what do you do for fun, besides my son?" FML
Today, a woman came up to me and sheepishly asked if my son is single. He's not my son, he's my boyfriend. FML
Today, my girlfriend blew up at me for a comment I had made several weeks ago about not wanting kids. Then, she told me that she's pregnant. After consoling her and telling her that whatever we do, we'll do it together, she further explained that she's not sure if it's mine. FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter called me by her mom's new boyfriend's name. Three different times. FML
Today, I was watching TV with my husband and my 5-year-old son. Everything was going fine until my son asked his father, “Why can’t mom know that you have another sweetheart?” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

IHOP isn't made by Steve Jobs. But it would be nice if it was.

FYL. She should have talked to you about it instead of surprising you. It doesn't matter whether she has a kid or not, but intentionally not mentioning her kid to you for six months? That's not right.

6 months is a bit extreme, she should have mentioned something about having a kid within the first 2 weeks.

You'd be a dick if you dumped her just because she has a kid. Man up.

Why should he have to man up? It's not HIS kid. If anything, the real father should be the one to man up.

You're totally missing the point, 127. He wouldn't be dumping her because she has a kid; he would be dumping her because she kept something so important from him for six months.

We don't know the reason why she kept it a secret. Don't judge until you've heard both sides, not just the OP's side. She might have had a good enough reason to deceive him for 6 months.

Im curious, Luvya448, what would be a good enough reason for her to deceive him on this very important subject?

@ Loveya448 - What in the hell are you talking about? She had a perfectly good reason to deceive him? I'm sorry, but NO ONE deserves to be deceived for any reason, especially when it comes to introducing a child into a relationship when the man is completely unaware that his girlfriend had a child. To even think of doing that ("does this change things?") means that she never really cared for the OP - that she only saw him as a replacement for her son's father.

@ Loveya448 - Also, unless the woman reads what her (I hope ex)-boyfriend posted on here and decides to tell us her side of the story, the majority of us will continue to support the OP's choice and think of the woman as a dumbass bitch to chose to lie to him throughout their relationship.

Six months of deceit? Yes, that changes things.

She should of told you from the first date she was a parent. Sounds like she was hoping to snag a baby daddy by getting you committed first before dropping the bombshell. She didn't have to introduce you right away but tell you she had a child yes absolutely.
