Likely things are over because you did not jump right in and propose marriage. You've dodged the bullet, and you're better off without her. Imagine, a young girl trying to manipulate her boyfriend into marriage by pulling the old "I may be pregnant, and you are the father" trick. I bet that you were scared snotless the moment she mentioned the p-word and pointed her greedy little claws at you. While I am sorry you had to go through this - and sooner or later, every man does - chalk it up as a learning experience, and don't go sending the ferret in to look for any more eggs unless you own the chicken coop!



This level of assumptive bitterness is completely absurd. How many 16 year old girls have you had attempt to force you into marriage? Or to anyone you know? Likely none. Believe it or not, most women have no desire to settle down at 16.

I have personally seen, however, a number of cases with friends when I was younger where there was a pregnancy scare and the relationship ended - not because of any malicious intent, but because it's a wakeup call and either one or both of the individuals realized they weren't ready to take on the level of responsibility they'd placed upon themselves. Teenagers have a knack for feeling invincible until something proves otherwise.

Oh, and pay it forward, dude; tell the next guy she hooks up with what she tried to do to you. He may not believe you (at first), but at least you'll have the clear conscience of having tried to save him.

So much for "Trust" versus being "Sexist" ...

You are encouraging young people to err on the side of mistrust. If the relationship is good (which you don't know one way or the other) then insisting on a DNA test (aka insisting you don't trust her) may very well RUIN it. I don't know one way or the other either, but I'm not the one advising adding the insult of mistrust to the already traumatic event of an adolescent unintended pregnancy. If he has REASON not to trust, then he should by all means ask for a DNA test. But it's not up to me to determine that. You seem to think that just by virtue of her being FEMALE, that gives him automatic reason not to trust, and THAT is what is sexist!

Would you like your crow cold, Meow? Or shall I heat it in the microwave? :lol: :lol: :lol:


Um....nowhere did it say she broke up with him because he didn't propose marriage. Maybe she just got scared. I don't know many 16 year olds who want to get married.

When I was 17, I had a pregnancy scare, had to take Plan B (the morning-after pill) and thought, for a very difficult week and a half (Plan B made my period late), that I was pregnant. After I discovered I was not, I didn't have sex with my then-boyfriend ever again (we broke up not long after).

Even if I had been pregnant, I wouldn't have married him. His mom had married as a teenager, his sister had married as a teenager, and I was not going to let him continue that family tradition.

andriarose is right - this sort of thing tests relationships, and often they just fall through. It wasn't this event that made us break up but the stress from it did lead to fighting, which did.

I do not know of a single teenaged girl who would fake pregnancy to "trap" a guy. Not I nor any of my friends, nor anyone I know would do this. The idea of a girl needing to marry a guy is sorely outdated and a tiny minority of girls even still want to get married so young and be supported by their husbands!

What a load of bs in this thread. Teenagers don't want to get married. It is pretty rare to find a teenager that wants to get married, in the western world.

The stigma of teenage pregnancy in the same if they get married or not, in fact it is possibly worse if they get married because people think they were pressured into it.

Legal marriage should be abolished, people need to learn the difference between marriage and commitment they are not the same thing and the should not be treated as such. What the law should do is protect the family, where it is needed and bog off otherwise. The responsibility is as a parent. Marriage is irrelevant.

My cousin happy not married for many years, strong family unit with several kids.

Chances are this girl broke up with this guy, becuase of the scare, rather than some cynical reason.

The reasons get deeper than that, theres this other guy called jack, he loves her and she promised that she would not date anyone while she was away from him, attending school elsewhere, although, she did decide to date me and break it with jack, then during the holidays we went to jacks town and spent alot of time together, then I finally met jack. My ex girlfriend then tells me that she once masterbated infront of jack but regreted it. The fact that she did that, and the fact that I know that she would obviously still has some feelings for jack and that he loves her, made meeting him very akward to my mind, but he seemed to be an alright guy, but I could tell what kind of a person he was, he is a manipulative fake prick, I saw through his guise...

anyways, he said he was leaving forever to england, never to come again one friday, on that day I was leaving to go visit my family long way east, while im there, she says she might be pregnant over a text and alot of things, from reading inbetween the lines I could tell she was with jack, they lied to me, jack did not leave friday, he wasn't leaving for another two weeks, now they are both in jacks town, for two weeks without me, and she just breaks up with me. She does say although, that she would love to go out with me in the future, I just cut out all my comunication with her at that point, and changed our relationship on facebook ect ect.

Im not going to go out with her, I feel that my trust had been completely betrayed, betrayed to the ground, then she basicly asks if we could go out in the future? after jack leaves forever? I dont think so, I think thats selfish that she thinks she can get things the way she wants, thats not on, thats not commitment, when you have a boyfriend, you owe him some commitment, breaking up with him to play with some guy then getting back together is a cheap little shortcut and I dont think thats very fair, its very selfish as it satifies whatever her emotion and romantic needs are, but kills me inside, then try to act like it never happened. NO THAT IS NOT OKAY.

sorry, felt like I had to vent a little.

She is a very mysterious, strange girl, and sometimes said to be crazy, but its why I liked her in the first place, she on the outside is like what I feel on the inside, but I cant express it, maby its my AS that hinders that. :(

I didn't see that one coming. So instead of lying about being pregnant to get you to marry her (it happens), she lied about being pregnant while carrying on with another guy. I'm sorry to see that you were chumped so badly, and by someone so adept at acting the part of your "One True Love". Again, try to accept this as a learning experience, rather than a heart-ripping assault on your love and loyalty.

Does anyone else still wish to take a stand about "trust"?

:roll:

True, "One nasty female ... et cetera", but that "One Nasty Female" sure seems to get around a lot; nearly every man I know can narrate at least one similar story. Either it's just the one woman causing that much pain everywhere she goes, or for every man there is at least one woman to cause him intense grief and ruin his trust in other women.

Go ahead, ask your favorite man if he's ever been played for a chump by a woman that he loved and trusted (it isn't just men doing it to women, y'know...).

At least you can always count on Gordon Freeman, M. D. when it comes to unwanted pregnancies...

On second thought, maybe he's suited for dealing with untrustworthy people, too. :P

well... how many women have been raped or sexually assualted or sexually abused by men? or been taken in by unscrupulous PUA? every single woman i know has a story like that to tell, but it would be no excuse to blame and distrust all men. not all men are bad, and not all women are bad.

Ask any woman if she's ever been hurt by an untrustworthy man. Does the fact that many women have make all men bad and untrustworthy? If not, then why assume that stories about untrustworthy women make all women bad and untrustworthy?

That tends to happen when you have unprotected sex without contraceptives.

Attend parenting classes. Make it a goal to become an excellent father.

Of course it doesn't.

But let this serve as a lesson. The number one purpose of sex is reproduction. No matter how careful you are when you have sex, there is always a chance of conception.
