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.

It sounds a bit like the mother and the best friend/crush are perhaps minors. I mean granted, it's not unheard of for a woman to be pregnant, have the father leave, and then get a crush on someone else before the baby is born... but from the tone of OP's letter it sounds more along the lines of teenagers

#42, many women who are not teenagers invite their mom to the birth of their child. =|

I'm going to have to say that he's probably avoiding you because he doesn't like you shunting all the responsibility of the dad that is apparently not there onto him. I know I wouldn't want that, especially if we weren't in a relationship and were just friends, even besties. I suppose it depends on if you talked about this before, but judging by his response you haven't, and it's really your fault. There is nothing wrong with wanting someone other than the father to have the "daddy" responsibility for your child, but you can't just choose someone and expect them to go along with your marvelous plan just because you want them too. You need to communicate. For the child's sake, I hope you get your shit together soon.

YDI for using labor as a flirting technique

Having a baby as a single mother is a one way ticket to hell. YDI

maybe you should worry less about some guy you have a crush on and worry more about your soon to be born baby. You weren't thinking about him 9 months ago.

He probably doesn't want to be the father, since the real father isn't around. Your fault.

You call your mom and your crush?! They're the people you invite to watch you accept and award, etc... Not push a human being through your ******. You sound *FAR* to young to be having kids. I mean, doesn't you stop having crushes at 16? Sheesh...

Well where is the dad? Ah yes the world needs another bastard child. YDI for whoring around.
