“Six Years of Hope: When Pregnancy Led to Heartbreak and Abandonment”

For six years, the woman struggled to conceive. When she finally became pregnant, she chose to share the joyous news with her partner on his 30th birthday. However, his unexpected reaction left her stunned.

The 26-year-old woman had been with her partner for ten years, and they had often talked about starting a family. After sharing her story on Reddit, the online community criticized her spouse and expressed their concerns in the comments. One month later, she provided Redditors with an update on her encounter with him.

The Original Poster (OP) had been feeling unwell for several days, but her busy work schedule kept her from visiting a doctor. Finally, on the morning of her boyfriend’s birthday, she made it to her appointment. As she thought about his celebration, the doctor examined her vital signs and asked some questions. To her surprise, the doctor revealed that she was pregnant.

She kept the news to herself until she came home, thinking it would make the ideal surprise for her partner. She was thrilled after years of trying. However, when she arrived, she found him deep in conversation with one of her friends. Wanting privacy, she pulled him aside to share the news, but he didn’t listen.

Unable to contain her joy, she announced to everyone that she was pregnant, despite his request to wait. She was shocked by his angry response, as he declared that the day was supposed to be about him and accused her of spoiling his celebration.

The user posted on Reddit about how her partner broke up with her and admitted ten days later that he had been seeing another woman. Shockingly, he offered her anything to persuade her to abort their child, but she refused. He then gave her two weeks to find a new place to live.

According to the woman, her partner had no interest in getting married because, in his words, “marriage was something people needed to prove their love.” She also revealed that he had prevented her from attending college since it was several hours away from their home.

She added that the experience taught her to stand up for herself rather than acting as a “doormat” for others to walk over, though many people around her found this change upsetting. “Some people have said that I’ve changed from the ‘lovely innocent’ person they knew before this whole thing happened,” she continued.

Most Redditors sympathized with OP and believed her partner was at fault. They felt he shouldn’t have pretended to want a child with her.
