Dear Escapist, I F*cked up.

[johnfistyadams]

What about 4chan? Maybe he could get some good advice there.

 

[Call Me Arizona]

Dude, you betrayed a friend. Now I get the hopeless romantic bit, but you JUST DON'T DO THAT.

EDIT: Sorry about that, the way you worded it made it seem like you were messing around with her while he was still around her.

Now that you may have a real problem on your hands, man up. A child can be a blessing, I know it sounds cliche, but I have friends in high school who have had children and panicked, but now couldn't be happier.

Make the most of the situation, go off to college, get an education, get a great job to take care of your child.

Good thoughts headed your way and I'm sorry for your depression and your situation.

 

[Marter]

Sorry to hear about your situation. I can't really do anything to help you, but I wish you the best of luck.

 

[Bat Vader]

Yeah, this is quite a problem. Now, you are most likely going to have to pay child support when you are off away at college when she has the baby. Believing that she was on the pill and not going out and getting protection for yourself was a bad decision.

This is one of the reasons why I stay away from relationships.

 

[Snarky Username]

If the foetus is still really young, could you perhaps slip some kind of pill to her?

I don't know if such a pill exists, but I've heard of it.

I believe you're thinking of morning after pill which only works the morning after sex. Scientists are very creative with names like that.

OT: Have you tried to do a DNA test? No offense, but she seems like a girl who would be a slut. The baby might not be yours.

Other than that, I would get a job if you don't have one and raise the baby. It's really the only choice if she wont adopt or abort.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

This probably isn't what you want to hear, but you need to man up and be a father to that kid. Still, are you certain it's yours? If not, then be cautious about it, the last thing you need is to raise someone else's kid.

Regardless though I have to ask, exactly how old are you?

 

[flamingjimmy]

Just punch her really hard in the stomach a few times... problem solved.

Seriously though, not much point in me giving you advice I have no idea what your going through, but thanks for sharing, my thoughts are with you (and your young ladyfriend as well, even if she did do it on purpose this can't exactly be the most stress free period of her life right?), just be supportive I guess.

 

[jibjab963]

Umm. Yeah, good luck with that one. And in my opinion it's the girls fault not yours.

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

This probably isn't what you want to hear, but you need to man up and be a father to that kid. Still, are you certain it's yours? If not, then be cautious about it, the last thing you need is to raise someone else's kid.

I'm seventeen, and really, this is the first place I've heard the whole man up bit. Really, she does kind of get around.

Oh, btw, SHE WAS NOT WITH THE GUY WHEN WE HAD SEX, THEY HAD BROKEN UP BEFOREHAND.

Sorry, I felt that was necessary.

 

[TheTurtleMan]

Aside from the whole knocking up another bloke's girlfriend thing, your FIRST mistake was to post your problems on the Inernet on a gaming forum. Honestly, aren't there about a million OTHER people you could/should talk to about this? I mean, anonymous patrons of a gaming forum are probably the last place you should turn to.

Dude, he probably just needs a way to relieve stress and blow off some steam. He should do whatever he wants to try and make it a bit easier on himself.

 

[Estocavio]

Man up dude. No matter what if that is your kid, then its yours forever. Grow a pair and take responsibilty. No one forced your dick in this girl and you knew the risks of unprotected sex going in (no pun intended).

Edit: Before you think I'm taking her side I just want to say what she did was fucked up, but if she refuses to give the kid up then there's nothing you can do. I'm not saying to be a happy couple again, but don't shun the kid.

This basically.

 

[WorldCritic]

I'm sorry to hear that and I'm also sorry that I can't give you any advice.

 

[Motiv_]

I've got to admit. I may sound evil for saying this, but I don't really feel any sympathy for you. You had sex with your friend's girl, twice. You also didn't use a condom. She might've said she was on the pill, but I have never placed a good amount of faith in said pills anyway.

Now, all you can do is man up, take the limelight, and hope diapers lower in price. Take a bit of solace in this, however.

Spoiler: May be offensive, but had to be said

If she's such a slut that she would have sex with another man, twice, without even caring about her boyfriend's feelings, then there's a decent chance it's not your kid.

Sorry I may come across as a bit of a dick, but I've been in the whole "Hopeless romantic" bit, I've waited, found my woman, and am now perfectly happy. I despise cheaters with a burning passion.

 

[Hazy]

Well, look on the bright side, you've had sex more times than I.. [sub]ever...[/sub] [sub][sub]will...[/sub]._.[/sub]

[Ruzzian Roulette]

My advice: Grow a beard, shave it off, grow another one, dye it orange and black...

In summary, convince her you've gone utterly mad.

Probably the best advice I've gotten from anyone for anything anywhere. Congrats hahaha

 

[jibjab963]

Well I can only really think of one other thing. Go before a judge and plead your case that you and the girl are not fit to be parents and she needs to give up the baby when it is born.
