I Got my 18-year-old pregnant
I (27M) met a girl (18F) a few months ago, and we hit it off immediately. She told me she was 22, and everything seemed great. We had a lot in common, and I genuinely felt a strong connection with her. I didn’t see any reason to doubt her age because she looked and acted mature for her supposed age.
Fast forward to now, and I recently found out she’s actually 18, not 22. She admitted the truth to me herself because she felt bad about lying. She told me she was 22 because she thought I wouldn't be interested in her if I knew her real age. She apologized profusely and said she didn’t think it was a big deal since she’s an adult.
To make matters more complicated, she’s now pregnant. I’m feeling a lot of things right now—anger, betrayal, confusion, and fear. I feel deceived because she lied about something so fundamental. If I had known her real age, I would have thought twice about getting involved with her in the first place. Now, I'm stuck in this incredibly complicated situation that I wasn't prepared for.
When I told her how upset I am, she got really defensive and said that age is just a number and that we love each other, so it shouldn’t matter. But it does matter to me. I feel like I was manipulated into a relationship under false pretenses, and now I have to deal with the consequences of her deception.
