Neithers wrong, just a sucky situation. Its her right obviously, yet she has to deal with the reality of going back on her word and continuing a pregnancy, and so its not gonna be sunshine an rainbows. Also a friendly reminder, use dual BC in these sorta relationships if you can. Pill, IUD, impant, depo etc, pulling out, female and male condoms, working around your cycle, and so on.
NTA, to me i frankly find it honorable when a person wether mother to be or father to be is straight forward with themselves and their partner when it comes to parenthood and knows their limit... if you know that handling a child would just not be good for you or the child then it's best to stay away from it.
Nta ,from the starting u said what u want!!!! She want to keep it after her pastor told her to do so he need to give her child support!!! U say another option but she don't want to do that !!!
NTA. He was clear from the beginning that he did not want children. She knew this and agreed with him. Yes, she changed her mind (or had it changed for her since it doesn't sound like she wants this kid either) but that doesn't mean he did or that he has to.
Pregnancy and motherhood do funny things to the female brain. It's called instinct. I'm not the least surprised that she has changed her mind. She's going to have a hard row to hoe, and hopefully will have the help and support of her family. OP, as far as you're concerned, I certainly hope you'll pay child support, since this is YOUR child too. No matter how you feel about it or what you want from life. There's an old saying: if you don't want to go to Chicago, don't get on the train. Your decision, your consequences. And who knows, you might just decide you like this little person, once you meet him or her.
he never wanted the child. he shouldnt be obligated to pay child support at all. lets say she got pregnant, he wanted it but she didnt she could abort and live her life. he deserves the same choice to back out of smth he never wanted
I would say NTA.
OP was honest from the start, his GF was the one who changed her mind. But I do agree that he should give financial support.
