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.

#380 not a problem, none of the girls I know would be stupid enough to end up in a single mother situation (ignoring the possibility of the father dying). I would have no problem expressing the same opinions in person, and I don't see what's jerk-like about being honest at the expense of hurt feelings

How do you even know what he was doing? I bet he actually did have something to do and you're just making that up about the cereal to garner sympathy.

Are you kidding? If I had a friend who was knocked up and attracted to me, I'd run for the hills.

More importantly than people bitching you out about being a young mother, which by your concerns it shows you clearly are, why was it a big deal to just wait for your mother? I'm 21, I have two children and both of them came due to preterm labor induced by preeclampsia. I had everything under as much control as it could be, and had a list of people ahead of time I could contact in case of emergency. Did you not educate yourself at all about pregnancy risks? They have free classes for young mothers, and the classes arent that expensive for mothers who simply want some knowledge. Theres endless heaps of info on the internet. And you should have had a doctor there with you anyhow. As far as this boy, if hes eating cornflakes and watching TV rather than rushing to your side, theres two things to think about here: For one: He obviously doesnt feel the same about you that you do for him, and with how young you present yourself, he probably felt very pressure to have too much involvement with a child that isnt his own. For two: That doesnt sound like Father material to me, and if your child is lacking a father, this boy doesnt exactly seem to fit the job description. Good luck, hope you get things sorted out.

If he lives far away, why should he be expected to rush to your side if he's not the father? I understand you were scared and alone for awhile, but...realistically even your best friend isn't always going to just drop everything for you. If he was willing to stay on the phone with you and comfort you, you should have just accepted that. I suspect you're more upset that he apparently doesn't seem to return your feelings.

He's not your friend, let alone "best friend". Just move on and get away from this toxic person.
