She’s Suing Her Ex-Boyfriend After He Intentionally Got Her Pregnant To Slow Her Down In Her Career And Then Left Her To Raise Their Child Alone
This woman and her ex-boyfriend dated for two years, and for a while, everything seemed okay in their relationship. Yet, once she got a big promotion at work, her ex’s attitude started to shift.
All of a sudden, he began making offhand remarks, saying that she was “leaving him behind.” He also seemed to believe that her career was more important to her than their relationship.
“I brushed it off at first,” she recalled, “But it became clear that he resented me for it.”
Well, only a couple of months later, she then found out she was pregnant, and the news came as a total shock. She and her ex had always been safe.
When she told him that she was expecting, though, his reaction caught her off guard. He didn’t seem upset or happy. Instead, he strangely appeared “smug.”
This led her to press her ex about his feelings, and eventually, he admitted to planning the whole thing.
More specifically, he actually tried to get her pregnant in order to “slow her down” in her career.
“He literally told me that he thought I was ‘too focused on work’ and that having a baby would ‘bring me back down to reality,'” she revealed.
She felt totally betrayed and heartbroken, as she’d had so many goals for both her career and her overall life. However, in the wake of the pregnancy, her life was flipped on its head.

Still, perhaps the most bizarre part is how, after her baby was born, her ex randomly abandoned them. He hasn’t come to see their child, who is now 1-month-old, nor has he offered any support.
“I’m a single mom, and he’s out there living his life without a care in the world,” she said.
So, she finally decided to sue her ex-boyfriend for both child support as well as for other damages. She thinks that he intentionally tried to sabotage her life and left her to deal with the aftermath entirely alone.
She’s since told her friends about this, too, and some agree that it’s only right to sue him. Meanwhile, others believe she should just move on and focus on raising her baby.
“But I can’t shake the feeling that he did this intentionally to ruin everything I had worked for,” she vented.
Nonetheless, she’s now questioning whether suing her ex-boyfriend is the best move here.
How would you feel in her shoes? Does her boyfriend deserve to be held responsible?
