Today, I realized I'm pregnant by a man who won't even accept my Facebook friend request. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant and sent a picture of the positive test to my boyfriend. Before I got a text back from him, I saw his newly updated Facebook status, which read, "This has got to be the most depressing day of my life." FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I also found out that the dad has a fiancée. FML
Today, I found out the guy I was seeing was married, with a kid, when his wife sent me a friend request on Facebook. FML
Today, I found out I'm 9 weeks pregnant. I got on Facebook to message my baby daddy, but was stopped in my tracks by his mugshot plastered all over my news feed for an alleged meth distribution investigation. He was already on parole. FML
Today, the man who tried to mug me sent me a friend request on Facebook. FML
Today, I found out I’m pregnant with the man I’ve been in love with for almost a year. When I told him, he got down on one knee, cuddled my abdomen and said, "Get out." FML
Today, I found my biological father, who I have never met, on facebook and decided to message him. He blocked me. FML

It's a sad world when Facebook relationships are more important than real life ones.

Is Facebook really that important? That you base him on the fact that he won't accept your Facebook request?

Facebook isn't important. Ever.

Maybe she has no other way to talk to him. Doesn't have his number and doesn't know where he lives.
DomiLove 26
Maybe it's more of "Facebook is so small and meaningless what's the big deal if I'm his friend or not".

#11..if she doesn't know such basic things...she probably shouldn't have been having sex with said man..let alone unprotected sex
MdMan2 23
If that's the case, then she shouldn't have slept with him…
janfleury 19
Who said it was unprotected? Protection fails a lot.
Megatron_Griffin 25
This is true..but the fact that protection fails is more of reason to not sleep with someone she seems to hardly know
C_Celine_101 19
I don't think OP cares so much about the friend request rather the fact he won't even even accept her as a friend on a social networking site let alone take part in any aspect of the her or the child's life. At least that's what I gathered anyway.
chosha_fml 27
You don't know it was unprotected. Contraceptives sometimes fail.
Queen_of_Night 20
There are a lot of assumptions being made in the comments.
Megatron_Griffin 25
Yeah, probably shouldn't be making assumptions when I don't have a lot of information to work with. It's true protection fails and maybe she knows this man fairly well and he ended up being a jerk and ran when shit hit the fan. OP I honestly hope you can get things figured out and give the child a good life. If the father keeps trying to dodge his responsibilities, take his ass to court. Good luck

I think the FML is a matter of "so disinterested that he won't accept a facebook request" rather than "so disinterested in social media that he won't accept a facebook request"
AnFrickenTwan 19
Maybe it'll get better OP and he'll take some responsibility
TomSenpai 9
Time to repeatedly poke him.
ComoEsJuan 24
Just tell him Happy Father's Day.
Patriots21 14
I think he repeatedly poked her already.
aecribb 14
#23 beat me to it. Repeated poking is what got her into this mess
PePziNL 20
43: You mean what got this mess into her, amirite? Hey-ooo! ...no? Ok...
jerryj 27
By the time you're writing "no? Ok...", it's probably a better idea to just erase whatever you wrote.
Arwen_Evenstar 37
If you'd just said "You mean that's what got this mess into her." the comment could've been funny. You blew it, dude.
AbtractAngela 17
Does he know you're pregnant? Then he'll HAVE to accept your friend request. It's his responsibility as the father of your baby to be friends with you over social media.
Megatron_Griffin 25
No I think his responsibility comes after the child is born in the form of child support. Not saying he shouldn't take some responsibility right now as well...but don't think you should be holding a social media site up to such standards.

#28, I think #4 was being sarcastic.
Megatron_Griffin 25
Yeah I missed the sarcastic tone..I sadly know people who do have mentalities like this. My apologies #4
Meanmommy02 11
Totally laughed my butt off..

Is Facebook really that important? That you base him on the fact that he won't accept your Facebook request?
Tthug 34
No. But it is a sign that he obviously is not mature/doesn't care about her.
sturschaedel 27
My hubby of four years and father of my two children isn't connected to me on Facebook. Then again, he doesn't even have an account and I hardly use mine.
Dalboz 26
sheesh people the keyword in this FML is 'EVEN'. I think what op's trying to say is that if the guy doesn't even accept a friend request (a meaningless task no friend is bothered to do), he probably won't and isn't going to be there for her. He won't even do such a small thing not to talk about take responsibility and take part in hers and the child's life.
Dalboz 26
Of course no relationship is to be based on the approval of Facebook requests but the way this FML is worded makes me feel more like the father isn't even acknowledging her more than the option that he's a good partner that just didn't accept the request.
Lalala579121 28
59/61 - Or he could just... not use Facebook.
Dalboz 26
read my last comment. I only assume he's a bad figure because of the way the fml was written. this really isn't an indicator to anything but the way this was worded makes it a different case
Roxas_hearts 27
Oh boy... Why should Facebook be important? Celebrate your baby!
DomiLove 26
Maybe you shouldn't sleep with someone who doesn't even want you on their Facebook? YDI
tsukikuiin 16
Its facebook. As long as hes there to help you in the future. But for the future, makes sure he wraps it before he taps it...

Abortion time!
milehigh52 22
I know everyone has the right to their opinion, but shut the hell up!

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
I won't say YDI for a one night stand since that is absolutely your decision, but not using double and triple protection? Of course accidents happen, but two or three methods of contraception combined usually don't result in pregnancy so you probably deserve it. Please consider an abortion if you're both this immature :/
RainTears 15
condoms can tear, pills don't always work; and don't get me started on "morning after pills", I say YDI, if it was a one night stand. Yeah you can make any decision you want with your life but you do so knowing the risks, this is one of the risks.
ohSNAPyall 27
I know people who've gotten pregnant while using more than one method. You've got a lot of assumptions going on here.
MonstreBelle 29
Fun fact: There are only two 100% without fail ways for a woman to prevent pregnancy. The first one is total abstinence from any sexual contact that could result in pregnancy including, but not limited to, intercourse. The second is a bilateral oophorectomy (surgical removal of the ovaries). A woman who has had a tubal ligation and even a hysterectomy can still get pregnant. Tubal ligation prevents pregnancy by both stopping an egg from traveling down the fallopian into the uterus and stopping sperm from travelling up the fallopian tube to the egg. Fallopian tubes can grow back and the surgery can otherwise fail. If a woman has her uterus surgically removed, but her ovaries are intact, a fertilized egg can implant somewhere else in her body, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy. It's literally a 1 in 1,000,000 chance and ectopic pregnancies can't be carried to term, but there have been multiple cases of it reported. My point is, don't presume to know anything regarding OP's sex life or her use of protection. You weren't there, you have no way of knowing. It's just rude.

my son is the result of condom breaking and morning after pill not working. He is immature and blocked me on Facebook after I told him i was pregnant (friends for 5 years). I am not immature and a great mum as I'm sure OP will be if she choses.
Arwen_Evenstar 37
The truth is that the pill is around 99% effective, condoms are 95-98% when used properly (they're often not though, crucial steps like holding the tip to keep air out are often missed), things like spermicides on condoms help. The amount of people who claim they are pregnant after using both suggests many weren't using them correctly.
