I feel sorry for this baby. To be born in such a situation is sad.
As far as I know, there wasnt anyone else around that time frame. She's already admitted to not knowing who dad b/c of these two encounters, I dont see why she'd omit a third guy.

She's excited that she's going to be a mom. She knows that while she wasnt the most careful person in the world on both those nights, she is accepting responsibility for not using protection.
She also still hasnt decided if she is going to tell either guy about it so the stupid father just might not have to pay her!

PS: If he didnt want the child, he shouldve wrapped it up too!

It's also possible that the father-to-be will be thrilled once he gets over the shock. You never know!

Very true! Thank you so much for your unbiased opinions and posts. You seem to look at the bigger picture (not just the situation itself) and I like that you are not judging based on only what you know about this girl from what I have told you.

If your friend ever does confirm, I hope you'll post and let us know who the father turns out to be!

You're welcome. I've lived long enough to have caught a few of life's curve balls myself, and apparently age is mellowing me out.

I would love to hear how all of this works out for your acquaintance and friend, if he does turn out to be the father. Babies sometimes come at really inopportune times, and I hope the two of them are able to make the best of their new roles in life.

Trapped? Since when are men not responsible for their own actions?

Makes me sick that people think that it's the woman's responsibility to not get pregnant.

Men have choices. This man didn't make the right choices.

Definitely, please do! It's like a mystery, a puzzle, a soap opera. We want to know the ending! I hope it's a happy one!

People, didn't we learn this in eigth grade...sex ed! Didn't Ms. Craptree tell us girls to take responsility for our bodies. It is her responsibility...YES!!! He should've had a condom, but it's her body. Some men will have sex without. Some men will try to talk you out of the condom. It's up to the woman to say, hey no condom, no sex. Guy 2 was having sex with her and the other's guy sperm. I say again...YUCKY!!! We as women are stooopid! You can't say on one hand this is my body. I have the right to do whatever. Then, say, he should've had a condom. Like someone else said, poor kid. Two idiot parents.
