His Girlfriend Faked A Pregnancy To Test Him, And She Says He Passed
Six months ago, this 24-year-old guy started dating his 26-year-old girlfriend. One day recently, while he was away at work, his girlfriend texted him asking what he would do if she ended up pregnant.
He responded that he would believe she’s a liar since there are some medical reasons that mean they cannot get pregnant.
His girlfriend texted back that she actually was pregnant, and he couldn’t believe what she was saying to him.
“Naturally, I’m terrified at this life changer, which I don’t feel entirely prepared for,” he explained. “The thoughts and possibilities in my head all day were both emotionally exciting and tormenting.”
“I was honestly ready to drop everything and overwrite any future ideas or plans. I had to shift focus onto the upcoming baby.”
From there, his girlfriend mentioned that she wasn’t positive she wanted him to be present in their baby’s life.
That gave him literal chills, but then his girlfriend said she would allow him to occasionally visit the baby.
His girlfriend quickly shut the conversation down after a couple of additional remarks, citing she didn’t feel up to discussing her pregnancy at that moment.
“At this point, I am in an uphill battle to understand what…is happening and why I am suddenly semi-cut-off from my future child,” he said.

“The topic was the only thing on my mind. Mentally, this was stressing me out, and physically, I appeared exhausted. It was really affecting me at work, and I was probably visibly distracted.”
After he was done with work for the day and headed home, he got on a call with his girlfriend, who blurted out that she wasn’t pregnant at all.
Apparently, his girlfriend used that in order to test him, and she deemed that he “passed” her crazy test.
She wrapped things up by saying even though she did lie, she loves him very much and understands if he’s angry with her.
“I am not okay with what happened today, nor did I deserve it. It was a very real situation to me that I was ready to make changes for,” he continued.
He’s left wondering if this is an acceptable way for his girlfriend to behave and if he should just forget about what she did.
