'I dumped my pregnant girlfriend - I never wanted to be a dad and she knew this'
A man walked out on his girlfriend and child because he never wanted to be a dad – accusing his ex of tricking him into becoming one. At the beginning of their relationship, he made it clear that he had no intention of raising a family, and said she was initially on board.
“I’m the oldest of six kids and most of my childhood and teen years was spent being a third parent to my younger siblings. My [now] ex-girlfriend knew this from the start… she said she was fine with it. At some point during the pandemic she got severe baby fever, which she admitted probably happened because both her sister and best friend had their babies between late 2020 and mid-2021,” he wrote on Reddit.
“She said she didn’t think she wanted to be a mum until then and her mind couldn’t be changed back. I told her no, but if this was something she felt strongly about, we could break up and she could find a man who wants to be a father. We went on a break for a few months before she asked me to get back together. She said she had time to think, and while she still wanted to be a mum would try to just be cool being an aunty.”

However, there was a surprise bump – literally – in the road when his other half dropped the bombshell that she was expecting his child. “We move to mid-2022, where she tells me she’s pregnant, it’s mine and she is not getting an abortion. I asked how and she admitted she’d been off her birth control for some time. I was furious. She had our baby earlier this year and I just can’t do it,” he confessed. “I never wanted to be a dad. She knew this six years ago. I get that her mind changed, but then she said she’d be chill without having a baby, so I thought we would genuinely move past that. I expected it to come up again, but not pregnancy.”

He concluded: “I’ve told her I’m leaving. I make good money and will pay child support. But I never wanted this. She didn’t at first, then she did, then went and did all of this to me. So, now I’m looking like a massive a**hole to everyone from friends, to family, to random people we’re loosely acquainted with because I’m the dad who’s ditching his child.” Most Reddit users couldn’t fathom why the man didn’t simply get the snip. One wrote, “It’s mind boggling to be me that people like this don’t get vasectomies,” while another added: “In the future, get a vasectomy and/or use a condom, don’t rely on your partner to be honest about birth control, especially when they’ve admitted to having baby fever.”
