Today, my girlfriend of 4 months confessed that she purposely lied and told me she was on the pill when she wasn't so she could get pregnant (she now is). All websites call tampering with birth control reproductive coercion and abuse, but ONLY when a man does it to a woman. When she does it to me, it's a romance book plotline. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out the hard way that my girlfriend lied about being on the pill four months ago. FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend has been slipping me abortion pills to "supplement" my regular birth control. FML
Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
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
Today, I found out that my girlfriend of five months is pregnant. Apparently, she stopped taking her pill two months ago because "we" wanted a baby. I don't recall ever having that discussion with her. 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 father informed me that I was born only because my mom lied about being on birth control. FML
Today, I found out that even though my girlfriend is on the pill, and even though my girlfriend took emergency contraception, she became pregnant days after the first time we had sex without a condom. FML
Today, my girlfriend of a year broke up with me because I got her pregnant and didn't own up to it. I wouldn't have blamed her if it didn't actually happen in her dream. FML
Today, it's been six months since I started dating this guy. For the majority of the relationship he would accuse me left and right of lying, cheating, and more. After stressing me the fuck out to my breaking point, now six months later, he casually admits that it was all a ploy to control and use me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This constitutes rape in Canada. You didn't consent to sex without birth control. Your consent was conditional on her being on the pill. Although even if she is convicted you would probably end up paying child support.

No, there's a term for when a woman traps a man by getting pregnant on purpose. I'd look it up, but I don't go to Urban Dictionary anymore since I learned about the Alabama Hot Pocket. I still have PTSD from that!

should have worn a condom

This is the first time I’ve seen multiple people victim blame the man for something! Still absolutely not okay but it’s a weird turn of events

Nah, condoms are a 100% must have if you don't want kids. nothing is 100% guaranteed but op should have put not wanting kids above, not want to use condoms. The GF is massively in the wrong and should face punishment, but this is sex ed class level knowledge. bring an umbrella if you plan to go out in the rain.

You’re still responsible for your actions & the pill is not 100% effective in any case. If you didn’t want an unexpected pregnancy you should have worn a condom. Contraception is not solely the responsibility of the female partner. YDI.

Nope this is baby trapping and in many countries it’s not legal. Yeah the pill isn’t 100% affective but it’s a hell of a lot less when she’s not even taking it! If you have proof of this like messages from her you might be able to get out of child support

That's reproductive abuse. Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman, lying and baby trapping is abuse. You absolutely need to leave. I don't know if there's much you can do to legally protect yourself, but you need to at least get out of that relationship before it gets worse.
