Today, I went to my dad, hoping to confess something to him. He quickly said that if I'd got my girlfriend pregnant, he'd kill me. That's exactly what happened. I had to make up a lie instead about stealing $50 from his wallet once as a kid, which he then demanded I pay back in full. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I joked with my dad, saying I'd gotten my boyfriend pregnant. In response, he slapped me, threw my phone across the room, smashed my laptop, and then took a moment for what I'd said to sink in. FML
Today, I lied to my father. I told him I got money yesterday. In fact, I just got fired yesterday. I kept a really happy jolly voice when I spoke to him on the phone. FML
Today, I found out my dad stole money from me when he was arrested for buying Oxycodone from an undercover cop. FML
Today, my dad threatened to hit me if I didn't tell him what I had in my homework. He thinks I won't keep secrets from him this way. There's a reason I kept secrets in the first place. FML
Today, I had to go cap in hand to my father-in-law to ask for a loan so I could pay the mortgage, so now he thinks I’m a useless bum who can’t support my family. The truth is it was his daughter the gambler who wasted all our savings, but I can’t bring myself to upset him by telling him the truth. FML
Today, I invited my deadbeat dad over for dinner, hoping we could resolve our issues and build a proper relationship. Just minutes after he arrived, I caught him stealing money from my purse. He actually said I owe him for raising me. He ditched my mom and me when I was 5. FML
Today, while at home, I accidentally let out a big, loud fart near my dad. When he asked what the noise was, I blamed it on the cat. I remembered too late that we don't have a cat. My dad caught on quickly and grounded me for lying in front of him. FML
Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML
Today, I told my dad I couldn't make the trip to see him this weekend because I had to work. I surprised him by driving ten hours, and while he was out, I let myself in with my key and hid behind the couch for when he came in. He walked in. I jumped out. I then had to call 911. FML
Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML

You should just tell him. Deal with the consequences like a man.

Maybe he will accept a new born child in exchange for the fifty dollars..?

Not to be a prude but If you weren't ready for the consequences, you shouldn't have been having sex. It's time to grow up and be a man and let them know what's up. After they get past the shock and disappointment, you are going to need their support. Prenatal care is important, so the sooner you two come clean, the better.

You, sir, need to grow a pair. Your child will need you to be a man, so act like one now!

Moral of the story: Maybe its time to be a man and own up to your mistakes. You're going to be a father after all. Though I wish those who are younger would consider other options rather than parenting.. but that's my opinion.

You could have said that you took $10 instead of $50. Anyway you're lucky. He could have demanded for $200. Time value of money dude.. 50 bucks then ain't like 50 bucks now.

you couldn't say 20 bucks? Or 10? Or man up and tell the truth, maybe?

You're gonna have to say something sometime. It's better if he finds out now than later.

You are man enough to ruin your g/f life but you can't take the heat from pops. Ask yourself what kind of a father you will make. I have learned that teenage pregnancies are tough at first, but in a few years, your parents wouldn't know what to do without that grandchild. Stop the lying and man up. It's a birth not a death.

I don't think he just "ruined" his girlfriends life single handedly. It's not like he raped her. They both bear responsibility.

How did HE ruin his gfs life? They each equally ruined each others life.

I have a solution to not getting your girlfriend pregnant. It's really and truly brilliant. I don't know if you've heard this before. You probably haven't, but it's a little word called, "abstinence."

I have a solution to never getting cheated on: don't date. And a solution for nothing shitty ever happening to a person again: commit suicide. Doesn't mean it's the sane option, or the only effective one. What is this, Sunday School? Condoms and/or the pill wouldn't have gone amiss here, but if they were used, then that's just one of life's uncommon fuckups and it has its own solutions, no need to live like a monk for fear of it happening.

You could tell him that she cheated on you and got pregnant but you still see her? Idk

Lie even more. Great solution. When the paternity test comes back saying that op is the father no one will ever trust him again.

If you 2 are of age and don't want to keep the kid, where there is the option of abortion. Do your research like a man. If you're not of age, well man up too and talk to your dad. You need to take a quick decision.
