My (24f) boyfriend (23m) cheated 4 months ago and got a girl pregnant, wtf do I do now?

A devastated 23-year-old woman has just learned that her boyfriend of six years, her high school sweetheart and best friend, cheated on her four months ago and now the other woman is pregnant.

As she grapples with this shocking revelation during finals week, she’s left questioning their future, her feelings, and whether their relationship can survive such a betrayal.

‘ My (24f) boyfriend (23m) cheated 4 months ago and got a girl pregnant, wtf do I do now?’

Today, during finals week, my boyfriend (23M) of six years dropped a bombshell on me. He confessed that four months ago, he cheated on me, and now the other woman is pregnant. She just informed him that she doesn’t know if she wants to keep the baby or not.

I’m still in shock. We’ve been together since high school, and we’ve known each other for seven years. We’ve always talked about our future, planned to buy a house, and imagined a life together. I thought he was my person—my best friend.

We rarely fought, shared the same values, and had so much in common. I honestly believed we were solid. Now, I feel completely lost. It hasn’t fully hit me yet, probably because I’m trying to push it aside to focus on my finals.

I feel gross thinking about how I let him touch me after what he did, even though I had no idea. And yet, I still love him. That’s what hurts the most. He’s my best friend, and I thought we were forever.

What am I supposed to do now? I’m confused, hurt, and so unsure of what steps to take. Do I wait for the reality to sink in? Do I leave him? Can this relationship even survive something like this? I feel like my entire world is crumbling, and I have no idea how to start piecing it back together.

Champion_Flight −  Hold your finals, hold your tears, but do NOT hold onto this man. He didn’t just cheat – he created a whole new life while playing house with you. And he waited FOUR MONTHS to tell you? Only coming clean because pregnancy made it impossible to hide?

That’s not confession, that’s damage control. I know you’re numb right now. Six years of “forever” plans just got nuked by one night of selfishness. But don’t you DARE feel gross about yourself – the only person who should feel disgusted is the one who betrayed six years of trust faster than you can say “positive pregnancy test.”

“We never really fought” doesn’t mean s**t when he’s out here fighting for the gold medal in relationship destruction. Your “best friend” spent four months looking you in the face, planning a future, while knowing he might have a baby on the way with someone else.

That’s not friendship – that’s fraud with a side of g**lighting. Focus on your finals rn because your education is the only thing that won’t betray you. But after that? Time to face reality: Whatever future you planned with him just got rewritten into someone else’s story.

He’s about to be someone’s father (maybe) – that’s not something you can sweep under the rug of forgiveness. Don’t let six years of history trap you in a lifetime of hurt. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t losing someone you love – it’s realizing they weren’t who you thought they were in the first place.

Let him deal with his baby mama drama. You’ve got a whole life to rebuild without his chaos in it.

Longjumping-Oil-7419 −  If he was willing to do that to you then you need to get out while it’s still simpler.

No_Cupcake_571 −  leave his ass what the hell

Mark71GTX −  He only told you about it because it’s likely he can’t hide it if she keeps the baby (if it’s even his, but that’s a whole other issue). What else has he not told you? You deserve better.

throwawayo222 −  Get out before you’re stuck with him forever. You’re 24, you are young and can find someone who will not do something like that to you

GenoFlower −  First, just get through finals. Focus on that. Don’t let him derail your entire semester of hard work. Then you’ll have the holidays to be with friends and family who can help you grieve and distract you.

No one can tell you what to do, but consider that he wouldn’t have ever told you had she not gotten pregnant. You should also schedule an appt for STI testing, since he’s clearly not using protection when he cheats on you. He couldn’t even do that.. I’m so sorry.

thewhitebuttboy −  What? You’re in college and your bf cheated on you so hard he got a girl pregnant? He came in that chick. He didn’t use a condom. Think about that. Leave lmo

Blue-eagle-23 −  He’s not your best friend. Maybe the guy you THOUGHT he was is worth that feeling, but not the guy he actually is. The guy he actually is, is a c**ater and maybe a dad to someone else’s baby.

Can you actually picture yourself sharing him with a baby that’s not yours, a constant reminder of his infidelity? But even if it’s not his baby, or she doesn’t keep it how would you rebuild trust with him? He didn’t tell you because he’s remorseful and wanted to do better.

The only reason he came clean is because he felt he had no choice. Not because he loves you and wants to be a true partner. It’s hard, it’s not what you expected, but you shine up your self-respect and find yourself a new future. I’m sorry he hurt you.

toomuchswiping −  Honey, he cheated on you. He’s not your friend and he has no respect for you. Respect yourself. D**p him and walk away.
