They Had Been Trying to Have a Child for Six Years, but When the Woman Got Pregnant, the Man Ran Away

A 26-year-old woman and her boyfriend had been in a relationship for ten years, trying to have a child for six of those years.

Despite their struggles, she finally became pregnant and was overjoyed. She decided to share the good news with her boyfriend on his 30th birthday, believing it would be the perfect gift. However, his reaction turned her excitement into heartbreak.

On the morning of his birthday, the woman, feeling unwell, went to the doctor. After running some checks, the doctor revealed she was pregnant.

Overwhelmed with happiness, she decided to keep the news to herself until she could share it with her boyfriend later that day. When she returned home, she found him chatting with a friend.

Eager to tell him privately, she tried to pull him aside, but he brushed her off, asking her to wait. Unable to hold back her excitement, she announced the pregnancy in front of everyone.

To her shock, her boyfriend reacted angrily. He accused her of ruining his birthday, saying the day was supposed to be about him. He stormed out, leaving her hurt and confused.

When he returned ten days later, his behavior worsened. He confessed he had been seeing another woman and wanted to break up. He even suggested she abort the baby and gave her two weeks to move out of their home.

The woman shared her story on Reddit, where users supported her and criticized her boyfriend. They pointed out that he had no intention of building a family with her, despite pretending to be on the same page.

Adding to her pain, she revealed that he had previously discouraged her from going to college because it was far from their home and had no interest in marriage, claiming it wasn’t necessary to prove love.

The woman found strength in herself. She realized she had been living as a “doormat,” always putting others before herself.
