Today, one year after giving my girlfriend an ultimatum that if she aborted our baby, then I would leave, she had the baby… and then left it with me. Now I'm stuck as a single parent while she is out living the high life, wanting nothing to do with either of us. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my girlfriend of 2 months found out she was 4 months pregnant with her ex's baby. She told me I could leave her and she wouldn't blame me, but I decided to stay with her. She told me she loved me and then dumped me because she needed to be with her baby's daddy. FML
Today, the guy I had a two-week long fling with and got pregnant by (while on birth control I might add), and who disappeared more than a decade ago after I told him, showed up at my door, demanding shared custody of my daughter. While he is her biological parent, she’s never met him and was terrified. FML
Today, I announced to my boyfriend of 5 years that I was pregnant. He gave me an ultimatum. Either I "get rid of it" because he’s "not ready to be a dad" or he’ll "put me out on the streets." I’m unemployed and have nowhere to go if I keep it. FML
Today, after I was with my ex for five years before we split up because she didn’t want to marry, have children, or seemingly grow up at all, now a year later she has married some dude and is two months into their first planned pregnancy. I guess she just didn’t want to marry or have kids with me. FML
Today, it's been a week since my girl told me she's pregnant and I fled town in a panic. I realized how badly I fucked up and called her, begging to come back. When I showed up at her house, her brothers kicked my ass and threw me in the street, promising to wring me dry for child support. FML
Today, I had a chat with a one-night stand and she's decided to keep the child. My life is basically over. FML
Today, I reached a year and a half of working from home by myself, while taking care of my baby, since my boyfriend left me when we got pregnant. Something he’d always pushed for. Guess in the end it was just me doing the pushing. FML
Today, ten years after getting my college girlfriend pregnant and leaving because I wasn't ready, I reached out to her and told her I'm ready to be a father. Apparently my son "already has a father in his life" and "doesn't need me." She laughed at me when I threatened to sue for custody, and hung up. FML
Today, after a shitty year in which I got pregnant, a miscarriage happened, then my boyfriend turned into more of asshole, which I thought it was part of the miscarriage so I stayed with him, but he kept blaming me so I broke up with him. FML
Today, my daughter told me she never wants to see me again because I had an abortion. She wanted me to have the baby and then give it to her so she could raise it as hers. FML

This is exactly what happens when you want a baby and dont want to assume to be a father; meaning taking care and rising the baby. You Totally Deserved It. You deserve 0 sympathy

so, how’s that ultimatum working out for you?

Expect that to happen more often as women's rights continue to be taken away. As long as she's paying child support, you have no right to complain. If you didn't want to be a parent, you should have gotten a vasectomy; you still had (and have) that option.

As if birth control doesn't exist. There are so many effective methods, but some people just can't be bothered, I guess.

Birth control has a failure rate. I had a kid at 17 due to failed BC. We found at at 15.8 weeks. (There were other factors that explained the missing cycle after I had already had a pregnancy blood test come up negative.) So I assumed this was an accident and he decided he wanted the baby when she clearly did not. He got *exactly* what he asked for.

condoms can break, the pills effectiveness can be reduced by antibiotics, the rings can fall out, iuds can shift out of alignment. no birth control method is 100% besides sterilization or abstinence. Dont assume that just because an unintented pregnancy occurred that it was due to not using birth control. additionally, abusive men like to tamper with birth control as a means of keeping their victim trapped in a relationship.

You’ll be better off in the long run. Just take care of your child and be wary for when she’ll want to “reconnect” later on.

Wow what a dumb thing to say. Not "I love you, we can do this." not "Be strong, we can raise this kid together." Just if you get an abortion I'll leave. Sounds like youu got exactly what you deserved.
