Rant about my bf leaving me when I told him I was pregnant.

I just felt like writing what I couldn't say to him.

We don't know each other for a long time, I know. And we've only been dating for 6 months, yes, it's "nothing" like you said. We weren't expecting this, I wouldn't call it an "accident", but it happened, and we're adults, or so I thought. I'm 33, you are 38. We are supposed to be responsible enough, but here you are, leaving me pregnant and alone, with your damned excuse of " I told you I wasn't ready to have kids ", YES ! Neither was I, but contrary to you, I bear the consequences of what I've done.

It's been a month now, you completely disappeared from the surface of earth.
I didn't ask for much. I didn't ask you to marry me right away, or to give me money, or even to help me raise them. I just wanted you to be their father, not even "dad", father; because yes, there is a big difference between these two.

All the promises, all the love, all the dreams. I know they weren't a lie, but I also know now how ephemeral it was.
I thought that this kind of stories, only happened in books and movies, but...It seems not.

You know what ? I don't need you.
I'm gonna raise them on my own, I'm gonna kick asses as a single mom and they will grow up to be some badass human beings.
And I will love them unconditionally.
They won't even feel the need to have YOU as a father.
But I hope, not matter how much time flies by, that the memory of the children you left behind, YOUR children, from your own blood and skin, will haunt you forever.

Sounds like he was pretty straightforward though. No one should be forced into parenting and youre just as irresponsible here.

@Flenflyys: yeah, but I have a friend that was on the pill - took it every day - took an antibiotic - and she's a mom now

No one ever said contraception was 100%. An accident happened and now shes trying to make him feel bad for not wanting to raise the child. If its that much of a burden there are other options, andif she chooses not to pursue those options thats her responsibility now.

@Flenflyys: that's one way to look at it, the laws (at least in the US) are pretty clear though. you father a child, you can be forced to pay child support.

Yea ive heard that, not really a great system.

@Flenflyys: won't argue that.

but it's like speeding on the highway - you know they can pull you over and give you a ticket

so if you speed, and you get caught, well, you know the rules

thankfully never was an issue for me

@Flenflyys: He was, and I actually understand him. But I expected him to be a bit more mature about this. I didn't want kids either, but it happened, and the kid is not going to pay for our mistakes. I just thought he would think the same. But no, he didn't.
I'm not even asking for child support, or for him to stay with me. I just wanted him to be present, just to tell them; Hey, that person is your dad, you actually have dad, even if he is not present, you have one. Because I know it will be important for them.
Doesn't matter now anyways...

@Agathalylee: Well if neither of you wanted kids why did no one think of using protection?
