No kidding

Today, my pregnancy test came back positive. My boyfriend is no fan of fatherhood, so it was with some hesitation that I called him and let him know I'm pregnant. He replied, "Like hell you are!" and hung up. He now refuses to answer any of my calls. FML

You should have brought him To chuckie cheese and told him if he was going to be that immature

He did act like a asshole, but it takes two to make a baby. You knew he didn't like the idea of fatherhood, yet neither one of you took the precautions of preventing it.

I'm just slightly confused that you decided to tell him over the phone O_o

It's situations like these where I am so thankful that I have a man like my fiancé, who was ecstatic after the initial shock of our pregnancy, when it could've happened to me just like OP if any of the other guys I had sex with and my birth control pills failed. Although I agree with others, that is a talk you have in person, and before a situation like that happens. OP, I hope he comes around eventually--he can't avoid you forever. Leave a voicemail saying you need to talk about this and decide what you want to do.

Did anyone ever explain to him about how babies were made? If you do the deed then there is a high chance of getting pregnant. And i agree with the first comment, take him to chucky cheese at least he would have gotten some prizes out of it!

Every time there is an FML posted about pregnancy I am shocked by the amount of people wanting OP to keep the baby. In Sweden, where I live, 99% of these FMLs wouldn't even get posted in the first place because if a girl has an unwanted pregnancy she'll go to the abortion clinic the next day. Immature people should not have children and the father should always have a say in wether to keep the baby or not. I wish that the US would change their laws about child support so that if the girl gets pregnant and the guy doesn't want to keep the child, she can either have the baby and raise it on her own, no child support involved, or get an abortion. It is the only option I can think of that gives both sides (almost) equal say in the matter.

Firstly, many people have strong feeling about abortions. Many are against them, and it is much more of a taboo to get one or be in favour of free abortions in the US. Because different societies and cultures generally have different opinions about things. Sweden has come far further when it comes to equality than the US and are also a lot more secularized, and so the idea of a woman in charge of her own body is not such an outrage. But the idea that it would be 99% of unwanted pregnancies that end in abortions is not even remotely true, though it probably is a higher percentage than in the US. Secondly, no. The father should never have a say in whether to keep the child or not. It is not his body, and both being forced to go through with a pregnancy or an abortion can be extremely traumatizing. He should however have a say about whether or not he would like to be a part of the child's life, ergo if he wants to be a father. If he doesn't, he shouldn't be forced to, and if the child is then born he should only be considered as a kind of sperm donor. No child support, no obligations, nothing. And it is not just the US that would need this kind of laws.

I would have said it face-to-face. Good though that I don't have to go through this. I doubt my boyfriend would get pregnant lol

Sorry to say i'm sure the thought has crossed your mind but......He is probably just waiting to see your text saying " Made the appointment for the abortion"

I'm gonna say you deserve it, cause at some point you guys had to have talked about kids and if you knew he didn't want any, you should have taken proper procedures to make sure you didn't get pregnant.

Maybe she DID take precautions an they failed. It happens.

Maybe you should use condoms next time?

You do know that condoms aren't 100% effective, right? For all you know they could have used a condom and it broke.

Being the father of 3 children I have to say that this guy needs to grow up and take responsibility. Unless he is oblivious to the possible results of having sex he should man up and either be a father or pay child support and expect the child to rip him a new one when they are old enough to do so.
