Today, three weeks after my girlfriend told me she was pregnant, she admitted it was a lie. Turned out it was just a test to see if I'd break up with her or not. I didn't, but I did just break the bank buying all the things we'd need for an actual kid. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex told me that she's 3 weeks pregnant with my child. Not only was she on her period when I broke up with her last week, her friend let me know that the positive pregnancy test she showed me was a fake that she'd bought online. FML
Today, after nearly a month, I found out my wife isn't pregnant after all. She was just screwing around to win a bet with her friends on how long it'd take me to figure out the truth. 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, 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, my girlfriend tells me she missed her period this month. I felt excited until she said, "I will let you know the results of the paternity test." I was not aware we needed a paternity test. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she's pregnant and I did not take it well. She had planned to record my happy reaction for Facebook; instead she got video of me bursting into tears, and trying to talk her into an emergency abortion. She sent it to my parents to punish me. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that my girlfriend lied about being on the pill four months ago. FML
Today, I had to fake enthusiasm when my girlfriend told me she's pregnant. She has a nasty streak and I was planning to break up with her, but if I left her now everyone would think I’m the bad guy. I actually think she’s capable of killing me if she gets angry enough. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 weeks found out she was 2 months pregnant with her ex's baby. I of course broke up with her because I don’t need exes drama or babies in my life. My mother called me an atrocious human being for not staying with her after only three weeks to raise another dude's kid. FML
Today, I saw my girlfriend after 10 months of being away. She was pregnant. She actually had the brass balls to tell me I needed to "Man up and be this child's father." Get the fuck out, you cheating whore. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good for you for making the right decision and sticking by your child. However she is a lying bitch and doesn't deserve a guy like you. Put that bitch on the curb and move on.

was everything non refundable? Seems easy enough to just bring it back.

So I think your GF was a messed up for making you think she was pregnant when she wasn't. I think you deserved the whole buying things for the baby part though. As a woman who is currently pregnant so many pregnancies end in miscarriage during the first trimester. Weeks 1-12. Now you're usually out of the woods week 12 and risk drops dramatically. You should have waited. Not only did you not know the gender but you can save yourself money by shopping during deal weekends and what not.

And if things were bought during a sale that wouldn't last?

Some people like to be prepared and buy things early and maybe he was just really excited. You don't have to know the gender of the baby there's SO many gender neutral things you can buy almost EVERYTHING without knowing it, plus there's supplies like diapers, bottles, car seats, high chairs, bouncy chairs, baby tubs, etc the list is endless. Most people don't think that they shouldn't buy things until a certain point just because it could end in miscarriage.

It's true that He rushed it, considering the risks of miscarriage but just how exactly is knowing the gender important to buy material though ?
JazmyneJayy 14
Personally hubby and I waited because as cute as gender neutral stuff is it's much easier to shop once the sex of the baby is known. Though some ppl wait not everyone does for us it was more logical.
JazmyneJayy 14
I understand that. But in all reality he did it to himself for not waiting. I'm 5 months pregnant and have 4 and a half months left and I haven't purchased anything. Not only did I have a friend lose a baby at 5 months and she was considered out of the woods but you also have to realize that 1 and 4 pregnancies maybe more end in miscarriage. Not to mention there is such thing as a chemical pregnancy. Like ppl down vote for honestly. She didn't say she was 6 months pregnant she was maybe "5-6 weeks" like I said I'm halfway through and haven't bought a thing. There are big ticket items I have to buy and small ticket items as well. He should have waited
anonymoususer070 17
I totally get where you're coming from I don't really think it's right to say he did it to himself though because it would have been completely different if she lost it and not have just lied about it.

Okay but i still don't see how it's more simple to shop depending on gender ?? Everything is gender neutral in my opinion, you don't have to be a girl to like butterflies and you don't need to have testicles to like cars ? when i was 3 years old my whole family was doing that and buying me barbie dolls, i didn't give a **** about dolls, what i wanted was the jacked up truck i'd seen in the boys aisle. But that was not for girls you see. So i'd never have it since my parents shopped based on my gender and not what i actually liked. Today, i still like trucks and now i drive them, which doesn't prevent me from being feminine, dressing nicely and having my nails done. You know, like a girl. My brother on the other hand, likes unicorns and most things people call "girly" yet he's still manlier than most guys i've known. So i really still don't see how gender is relevant when it comes to buying things for your child ?? Just buy what is needed and when your child knows how to express their feeling, buy whatever they like ?? Is it that hard ?

Strap on the cleats and punt her ass to the curb. She crossed the line with that stunt. As for you OP, you're a stand up guy and deserve a lot better.

maybe she meant "chills".

That's so beyond ****** up. What if you HAD broken up with her? Would she (and all her friends) run around screaming what an ass you are. People would've had her back even though she would be just as much an ass!!!! I'm female, but women disgust me sometimes. (And yet, I love them too. Until they are an ex, of course...lol) Anyway, shes a bitch and should be sent packing! Mind games are no place for a relationship. It just ruins the love, and trust and sets the whole thing up for failure.

DNC's are performed after a miscarriage to ensure nothing is left behind in the uterus (because that can lead to SEVERE problems and even a possibility of death). So, I'd demand to see that hospital bracelet.
militarybrat 21
Not entirely true 45. I have had several friends pass a miscarriage on their own.
Bearsmomma 30
That true for some, I'm sure, but my doctor did a DNC for safety and health after ALL of my miscarriages. It's the smarter thing to do; if an issue arrives it could ruin fertility. In the situation mentioned, as a bf, I would convince my gf to have a sonogram at the least. You're not only proving the lie, but IF she was REALLY pregnant, she'd be taken care of.

Why would you buy everything so soon? I say YDI, at least that bit. No one deserves to be "played" with like that though. Hope you got rid of her.
Catdragon 40
I can understand the hassle of buying stuff, only to have to take it back. She shouldn't have done that. But it's good that you'd take responsibility for your child and wouldn't run away like some guys. You'll find someone who deserves you though!

you don't need a kid, you are already dating one

It's one thing to have a hypothetical discussion for her to know you're a good guy, but to actually lie and test you, that's awful. However you did jump the gun a bit purchasing things, especially if you broke the bank doing so. Had she been telling the truth, you had 9 months to buy things here and there without breaking the bank.
False_Stupidity 42
Sad thing is that people lie with these hypothetical discussions and tell you what you want to hear, so I can kind of see why she chose that path, however it was still a bitch move that has destroyed all trust.

What she did was absolutely right. I mean if she was ACTUALLY pregnant and u left her what would she do then? It was wrong of her tho to not tell u that she was testing u before u bought all that stuff.
tarlax 11
If you're gonna troll, at least try to be subtle about it.
xoteeshaox 22
No she wasn't. If she was really worried, talking about the situation is a lot better, and talking hypothetically
anonymoususer070 17
How was she right? Like what was said before me she could have talked to him about it. There's absolutely no trust there anymore. That's not a joke, I know it's not completely related but people try every day to get pregnant and can't or have lost it, it's not a haha situation at all. He had every right to dump her now and have major trust issues in future relationships. It was wrong that she didn't tell him she was testing him before he bought the stuff? It was COMPLETELY wrong in the first place.
