Ever had a woman fake a pregnancy on you?

[loreocookie]

I'm coming here because I'm betting you guys have more stories or can give it to me straight.

I just started dating someone and were together about 4 weeks when a woman he had been non-committedly dating popped up and said she is pregnant with his child. He says this was an off-on relationship for the past two-three years. Didn't say why the were breaking up so much. Just the previous week he had asked me to be exclusive and we seemed to be falling for each other. I don't feel he was being unauthentic about his feelings for me, we seemed very compatible and attracted to each other. We actually never even got to spend our first night together because she called and dropped this news right before our plans. (My point is that he didn't hit and quit it.)

He claims he last slept with her in October before taking a work trip and that they had both decided to back things off for a while because between them both having kids, it was too hard to make plans for each other. However, she claims to be "6-7 weeks along." She insists that he is the father, but this doesn't really fit with the timeline he is claiming that he slept with her. I don't know how old she is, but she is in her 40's and he is 46. She said is on the pill and that she thinks taking antibiotics caused this to happen.

He said he needs to do the right thing and try to work things out with her for the child. He claims to be very upset about this and doesn't think he is in love with her because of how he feels about me. I have told him that it seems weird that NOW she would be pregnant when he was trying to back away from her and at her age it is hard to get pregnant. He said he needs to trust until proven otherwise. I don't understand why he isn't more suspicious, but he knows all the facts and knows her better than me.

Has anyone here had a woman fake pregnancy to get you back? Care to share your stories? I have known of a lot of women over the years that seemed to get accidently pregnant to tie a guy down and if she really is pregnant, I'm suspicious she did this for that reason.

The reason that the pill ''fails'' to do it's job is because women forget to take it. If you understand how the pill works it is almost impossible to get pregnant so I'd say she is lying about properly being on it.

I'd be getting a paternity test asap if that were me. Something is definitely not adding up here.

However, she claims to be "6-7 weeks along." (...) she is in her 40's.

I'm taking a long shot here, but it could be her menopause. Of course, in real life women think it's the menopause and the M.D. tells them they're pregnant:kick:

They both claimed they wanted time away, and usually any female (IME) that's attached and doesn't want to grow apart will make that 100% transparent.

Agreed! I feel like he hasn't told me the whole truth or omitted certain details. I would think any female who also wanted to back things off would definitely not accidently get pregnant.

And honestly, what women (with children, albeit) does NOT know that antibiotics and birth control have interactions? It says so on the bottle. I feel bad for your boyfriend, but he should have known better.

The reason that the pill ''fails'' to do it's job is because women forget to take it. If you understand how the pill works it is almost impossible to get pregnant so I'd say she is lying about properly being on it.

Anytime I have been prescribed antibiotics, the doctor tells me that 2-3 times. She definitely had to know better. I also think she isn't being honest about taking her pills well or something.

I told my guy that I am 35, been taking the pill all my adult life and have never had a pregnancy scare. I told him that in my opinion, unmarried women who accidently get pregnant KNOW what they are doing. I think he thinks I'm mean or being a hard-@ss. But every single woman I have known who accidently got pregnant, was trying to tie the guy down.

The fact that the timeline of it doesn't make sense makes me also think he might be not be being completely honest with me about when they "ended things." I wouldn't be mad necessarily that he was trying to break up with her and start dating me so soon. I just wish he would tell the truth.

And of course he has quit talking to me I assume because he had said he "needed to give that relationship a shot for the baby." If it were me, I would have been verifying things FIRST instead of telling me he couldn't see me anymore. I hate the situation because it's hard for me not to think about it.

Not that everyone was at the edge of their seats here but I discovered that this whole pregnancy story was a great big fat lie created by HIM apparently to dump me right before Christmas.

I found his father's facebook page which posted pictures of him with his family and his FIANCE and their one year old baby. Clearly he was about to start a little affair with me and decided not to go through with it or was afraid he would get caught.

CASE CLOSED.
