Today, I went to the hospital in premature labor. Alone, I texted my best friend/crush and asked him to come and sit with me for an hour while I waited on my mom to arrive. Eating cornflakes and watching TV, he replied "I can't". Apparently TV is more important than a best friend in labor. FML

Okay, I'm finally writing back to all 401 of your comments. Yes, I am a pregnant teenager- although, I can not see how that has any revelance to my post, pregnancy in teenagers happens quite often and I do not appreciate the judgemental/negative comments being thrown at me. It's pure slander. Yes, the father and I did have a fallout and I will be raising the baby on my own, with the help and support of my family and friends- not to mention he lives in the northern part of the state that I live in, which happens to be 4-5 hours away, even if he wanted to be here for the arrival of our child(which we are expecting to be a girl), he could not make it here on time. Therefore, my mother is my "go'to man", for lack of better words. I also notice you all are saying that he wouldn't want to hold my hand or watch the baby being born, I never said he would be in the delievery room- I simply asked him to keep my company during the scary hours of contractions that were yet to come, until my mother could arrive and take over. Yes, we had previously discussed it, and he had said that if need-be, he would be there. Unfortunately for me, he was speaking pure lies. As for the premature labor I did go into, they did stop it, and I am now on bed rest while taking a medicine called "terbutaline" every 4 hours in order to hold her until full term. (Which is also why I could write my FML, I didn't come home taking care of a baby, I came home on bed rest so I could have my baby at the correct time. I had nothing else to do but write my FML.) I do understand how confusing and misleading my post was, but keep in mind you only get a certain amount of letters to work with when writing your original FML, and by reading this I'm sure you've noticed that I could not elaborate thouroughly with 300 letters as a maximum. I do appreciate your opinions, even though I do not agree with all the statements that were made. Just wanted to explain since there were so many confused people.

he probably knows you are into him so is avoiding being to close to you incase he gets the position of father figure to your child and is therefore stuck with you and the kid forever, he saved himself from having a fml

Is he the father? If he is, he should be more than a "crush". Sounds like a bad choice to me either way.

Ouch... Definitely not a best friend, shouldn't be a crush.

#3 - I don't think it should be strange or a sign of immaturity/being too young that anyone would want their mother/best friend there while giving birth ... But what -is- strange is that the OP knew her crush/best friend was eating cornflakes and watching TV from a simple reply "I can't". Unless of course they were texting beforehand as well I guess. Meh anyway sounds like a sucky situation :(

Or maybe she heard the tv on and heard him crunching aomething and assumed it was cornflakes

#4 got it. And how do you know he was eating cornflakes and watching TV? You said you texted him, and all he said was he couldn't come.

If I was sitting in my underwear watching Spongebob and eating soggy cornflakes I sure as **** wouldn't spare the effort to offer moral support to some dumb ***** who was stupid enough to get knocked up in high school either.

Well, my mother works on a postnatal ward, and she's required to have her phone off at all times (I can't remember what kind of equipment it is that they interfere with), so that's why the claim that she texted him while she was at the hospital, in labour, confused me.

I was allowed to have my phone while in labor, with both children, in two different states. I would assume its more of a "you're working, you can't be on your phone while on the clock" issue than anything else. Or there are some hospitals that are crazy. Either way, totally possible for her to be on her phone!

#4 is pretty much right. he's probably right all the time. sounds like a prophet.

You are a single mom. You got a crush on him. You want him to be there substituting your kids father during his birth. Can you blame him for wanting to keep some distance?

Yeah! Where's the father? You didn't say he couldn't come because he wanted to watch TV. Something in missing here. The fact that you are pregnant, in the hospital, no father...that's the FML.

why would you invite your crush instead of the father?? you are messed up
