Today, I went to the hospital in premature labor. Alone, I texted my best friend/crush and asked him to come and sit with me for an hour while I waited on my mom to arrive. Eating cornflakes and watching TV, he replied "I can't". Apparently TV is more important than a best friend in labor. FML

Okay, I'm finally writing back to all 401 of your comments. Yes, I am a pregnant teenager- although, I can not see how that has any revelance to my post, pregnancy in teenagers happens quite often and I do not appreciate the judgemental/negative comments being thrown at me. It's pure slander. Yes, the father and I did have a fallout and I will be raising the baby on my own, with the help and support of my family and friends- not to mention he lives in the northern part of the state that I live in, which happens to be 4-5 hours away, even if he wanted to be here for the arrival of our child(which we are expecting to be a girl), he could not make it here on time. Therefore, my mother is my "go'to man", for lack of better words. I also notice you all are saying that he wouldn't want to hold my hand or watch the baby being born, I never said he would be in the delievery room- I simply asked him to keep my company during the scary hours of contractions that were yet to come, until my mother could arrive and take over. Yes, we had previously discussed it, and he had said that if need-be, he would be there. Unfortunately for me, he was speaking pure lies. As for the premature labor I did go into, they did stop it, and I am now on bed rest while taking a medicine called "terbutaline" every 4 hours in order to hold her until full term. (Which is also why I could write my FML, I didn't come home taking care of a baby, I came home on bed rest so I could have my baby at the correct time. I had nothing else to do but write my FML.) I do understand how confusing and misleading my post was, but keep in mind you only get a certain amount of letters to work with when writing your original FML, and by reading this I'm sure you've noticed that I could not elaborate thouroughly with 300 letters as a maximum. I do appreciate your opinions, even though I do not agree with all the statements that were made. Just wanted to explain since there were so many confused people.

he probably knows you are into him so is avoiding being to close to you incase he gets the position of father figure to your child and is therefore stuck with you and the kid forever, he saved himself from having a fml

Is he the father? If he is, he should be more than a "crush". Sounds like a bad choice to me either way.

Unfortunately dumb people like you get pregnant while not married all the time but at least you did not get an abortion but you should still be ashamed because you're a part of the stupid ass people who make this country look worse. Your best friend should not have to be there because you shouldn't be there in the first place.

@227 - lol I love how you say people AREN'T calling her a ***** and all that, when that's pretty much EXACTLY what the majority of the comments have been. you obviously didn't bother reading anything other than that one post you wanted to respond to before you decided to make assumptions and respond anyway. it's best to be quiet and look like a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

1. Broken condom 2. Missed a single pill 3. Recently dead husband 4. Recently divorced/separated 5. Sperm donor 6. Husband in the army/away for whatever reason Who are you people to judge her based on where the father is and why she was pregnant? There's a 300 character max, "my best friend, who is also someone I have mild romantic feelings for" practically takes up the whole thing right there. What matters is that her best friend abandoned her.

#236: I don't see the majority of comments calling the OP a *****. Young, a tad irresponsible, and perhaps quite possibly manipulative, but not a *****. At least not the MAJORITY. So... that last line should be directed at yourself. Sorry.

how old are you? and this is another instance of sending awkward text messages. especially if you're young, if i was your friend (errr, "crush"?), i'd feel really uncomfortable in that position as well. just because he said he can't doesn't mean the reason is because he's eating cereal & watching tv. and what about the father? this is just....weird. i feel like i'm just repeating everyone else here, haha, but this FML doesn't compute. either way, i think you deserved it.

Seriously, I want to know, who the heck says "crush?" It's in every single post about people liking other people, yet I have never heard it used in real life. The early 90s ended a long time ago, and the horrible vernacular that came with it should die too. Second, I think its really strange that you have a "crush" while you are pregnant. I guess everyone else has given you enough flack for that.

#238 you're an idiot. obviously her husband isnt in the military b/c she has a crush on her best friend. second it doesn't sound like the type of person who would want to get preg... and broken condom?? sucks for her but maybe she shouldn't have been having sex or should have taken the ******* pill. and even if she was divorced i think the dad would want to see his own kid born. and if her husband had just died i dont think she would have a crush on a different guy less than a few monhs after her husband died

#238 has a good point... but if the OP used a form(s) of contraceptive like 1/2 suggest, then those kinds of accidents should be taken care of immediately, for example with emergency contraceptives. 3/4/5 are legit except I think people are also taken back by the fact that she asked a "crush" to come. #6 would be legit but again, if her husband is away, isn't it inappropriate for her to have a crush and invite him over during a time like that? Just saying.

#241- There is a limit to the number of characters you can include in an FML, and "crush" is the shortest word for "love interest."
