Poll: If Your Significant Other Cheated, Would You Help Raise The Baby

[IckleMissMayhem]

And what exactly makes you think I'd stick around long enough to find out the cheating bastard'd impregnated the woman he'd fucked?
However, I think it's a safe bet that it'd be the last offspring he'd be capable of producing.

 

[ThePinkAcidSmurf]

Male and I'd leave. That kind of betrayal of trust is too severe. (Didn't vote, no suiting answer imo).

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Wheres the 'get rid of the baby' option?

That's sick! There shouldn't be an option like that!

A "dropkick the baby off of the Golden Gate Bridge" option would be much better.

I'm sorry, your absolutely right I don't know what I was thinking your ideas much better ^_^

 

[carpathic]

Not a chance. It is called self-respect.

 

[DazBurger]

"Here is my finger... There is the door!"


Guess my reaction would something like that.

 

[FightThePower]

A better question would be to ask what degree of cheating people will tolerate because this is quite an extreme situation.

If my partner got a bit drunk and accidently kissed someone - that's fine, so long as she was sorry. A kiss doesn't really mean much; if they were sober then I don't know. Anything more than a kiss - GTFO.

I find that offensive!
Not everyone lives next to the Golden Gate Bridge, so including such an exclusive landmark would mean I'd have to make a hour-long transcontinental flight just for that. I couldn't take the option with clear conscious.

Also, I'd be away quicker than the fun of flying while there's a baby crying on board.

 

[Judgement101]

Nope, it wouldn't be my problem

 

[RootbeerJello]

Why is falcon punch not an option? I'd leave. Unless the baby's life was in the balance it wouldn't be worth it.

 

[gallaetha_matt]

I was in a similar situation to this a few years back. I'd only been with the girl a couple of months and we were already broken up by the time she found out she was pregnant (I should point out, it was another man's kid, not mine). But I still feel as though I dodged a couple of bullets there.

That situation put me off having kids forever. No way would I stay and raise another man's baby when I don't even want one of my own.

I'd dump the girl and get out of there, taking my half of the TV, the dog and all of her jewellery that I can carry.

 

[Billion Backs]

I don't care about having kids at this point of my life. Or any time in the future.

Had I been in any serious long term relationship, that would be much of the foundation.

So, I guess, no, fuck that. I'm not going to spend money raising someone else's kid, and I'm not going to have my own kid because I'd rather be free(er). Now if I actually wanted the kid, I frankly wouldn't care whose DNA it came from. Seriously, it doesn't bother me. I could easily adopt a child and care for it as much as I would be supposed to care for my own.

But, then again, I'm not interested in sacrificing my entire life to the next generation in this meaningless world. Just 18 and the good life has started, why should I want to lose it all until I'm at least 40?

And I'm not voting on the poll. None of the options apply to me, and the first one is just stupid.

 

[Naheal]

You can bet I'd be upset with my SO, but I'm not going to hold it against the kid. If it came down to it, I'd probably work towards adopting the kid. Dependent on the situation down the line, I may end up leaving her and, court willing, I'd take the kid.

Needless to say, I grew up without a dad, so if I can do something to help ensure that someone else doesn't have to go through that, I will.

 

[Stone Wera]

Insults, storm off, middle finger. The usual reaction from me.

 

[Miumaru]

Abortion. Though if my significant other got pregnant....Id be curious. (I like men)

 

[Ekonk]

No. Fuck that shit. First she cheats and then I can to show my gratitude by helping? Jog on.

 

[fix-the-spade]

So, she betrayed my trust, that in itself would be grounds for divorce. But expecting me to not only accept that, but help clean up and subsequently live with the consequences of that betrayal?

I think not. I wouldn't be nasty about it, but my relationship and involvement with her would be over.

 

[antipunt]

Why..on earth would anyone be INSANE enough to torment themselves forever seeing the face of the one who wrecked their home; .... in the form of a -child that you HELP RAISE-

 

[dracit]

It really depends on the background of the situation.
1) If it was in a moment of weakness and she was sorry then I would stay and forgive
2) It also depends on how much I love her and again it would come back to the issue of whether she was sorry
3)if, in this situation, my SO was not sorry in the slightest then I would probably force my self to leave
4) For me it all comes down to being sorry if she was then in all probability I would forgive her

 

[irtaco]

I'd help raise it. I'd feel like a monster if I didn't try to help.
