Love, Pregnancy and Divorce: What have you got yourself into?

What have you got yourself into?

By HaroldLames - 01/03/2021 11:01

Today, the court is unable to allow me to divorce my wife because she is pregnant with our child. I have to wait until AFTER the baby is born, so that she is born inside of a marriage and not be an "illegitimate child". I was planning to move out of our house to go live with my high school sweetheart this weekend. FML

Today, my wife told me she wanted a divorce and walked out. This is two days after she informed me that she is unexpectedly pregnant. FML

Today, a judge ruled against me. I filed for divorce because my wife got pregnant even though I had a vasectomy. Apparently, not informing your spouse of a vasectomy is worse than cheating in the eyes of the court. FML

Today, it's been a few years since after I married my soulmate, and two years since he found he had a daughter with his ex. The last two years have been spent in custody court. Our savings are drained by support payments, and our own pregnancy plans are on indefinite hold. I can’t take much more. I want a divorce. FML

Today, I found out my soon to be ex-husband is going to be a father. We spent our entire marriage unsuccessfully trying for a baby. The mother of his unborn child isn't his new girlfriend, but someone else he was cheating on her with. Our divorce isn't even finalized yet. FML

Today, I found out that, after a year of separation, my ex-wife is pregnant and due in a few months. The divorce became official a few weeks ago and the father is my former best friend. FML

Cost of living crisis

Today, it's only been two months since my daughter has owned her home and now she wants to move back to my house because she lost her job and can’t afford the mortgage, plus she got pregnant off a one-night stand and needs my help with the baby. Bang goes my plans for a quiet retirement. FML

Today, my fiancé told me his ex-wife was 5 weeks pregnant. I was happy for her, and glad she had finally moved on. Until I found out who the father was. They're moving back in together, for the baby's sake. FML

Today, I had my final divorce proceeding. The judge denied my divorce because my husband is unemployed. I can't get a divorce until he gets a job to pay child support. He hasn't had a job for 3 years. FML

Today, my soon to be ex-wife told her friends that we're getting a divorce because I'm physically abusive. I guess that sounded better than the truth: that she waited 8 months into her pregnancy to tell me that the child probably isn't even mine. FML

so... you got married, then got your wife pregnant, and then decided to cut and run to have a fling with the girl you banged in high-school, thus leaving your baby mama to take care of the child on her own, while you pretend it isn't your responsibility to help take care of it... yup you my friend are a piece of shit. not saying you have to stay with her, but at least don't get mad you can't run fast enough from them. make sure you kid is going to be well off...

1. How does you still being married on paper stop you from moving out? 2. F your child's life.

as someone who was raised by a single mother I have to say you're making a lot of assumptions. OPs an ass for trying to leave his wife while she's pregnant no doubt, but there's no proof that he plans on abandoning her and the child.

I was also raised by a single mother but my father was involved. my younger brothers father bailed when he was born. my assumption is based on being upset he wasn't allowed to leave early. if he planned to stay in the picture it shouldn't be a big deal, only a technicality.

So you're supposed to stay with someone if you have a child with them, no matter what?

If you don't love your wife, use a bloody condom, at least!

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to think of a way to feel sorry for you. Also, why do the courts care if your child is "legitimate" or not?

The courts may care depending on where he's from. State to state, divorce laws change, and this doesn't even list a country. He may be from someplace with much more conservative divorce laws. However, he's personally proven that wherever he lives there's at least one giant shit head. (Hint: it's him)

Some states have a law that you can't get divorced if the wife is pregnant.

absolutely no sympathy for you what so ever. so you're cheating on your pregnant wife, with some chick from highschool and plan to just up and leave and likely not help raise your child that you helped make.. and does your wife have any idea what a pos she married? I'd say this is more of an fml for your wife then it is for you. I really hope you didn't post in here expecting anyone to feel sorry for you. as for your wife, I hope she finds someone who is actually worth her time and she knows her self worth as a person.
