My Fiancé Turned Our Miracle Long-Desired Pregnancy into a Nightmare

A woman was excited to tell her husband about their miracle baby. But the betrayal and heartbreak she faced turned a joyous moment into the couple's biggest nightmare. Now the woman has found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place.

A 30-year-old woman took to Reddit to speak about a happy moment that quickly turned into the worst heartbreak she had ever experienced. She believed she had found her forever in her 35-year-old fiancé, a man who embodied kindness and genuineness, everything she wanted in a man.

The couple had been together for five years. One day the woman started feeling unwell but suspected it to be nothing more than a passing illness. Pregnancy was the last thing on her mind, but she took a test and was stunned to see it come out positive.

The news brought a surge of joy especially because she knew her fiancé struggled with infertility. When the couple started trying to conceive, they did a fertility test and it was discovered that the man had little to no sperm production.

She recalled how heartbroken he was to find out that his chances of becoming a father were slim especially because having children was one of his biggest dreams. After finding out, he was crushed and turned to alcohol which was difficult for the Redditor to watch.

The woman was excited to share the good news and even left work early. But when she got home, she was met with a reality far removed from her dreams: her fiancé in bed with another woman. "I genuinely can’t even explain the heartache I felt. Walking through the house, looking for him, and hearing them together, the absolutely disgusting things she was saying about me." she wrote.

In a moment of anguish, she revealed her pregnancy, but her partner did not believe her at first. So she threw the pregnancy tests at him. Still, he asked if the baby was his, but out of anger, the woman told him it did not matter because she would be terminating the pregnancy anyway.

The aftermath was a deluge of apologies and pleas from her fiancé, who camped outside her home, asking for forgiveness and a chance to fulfill his dream of fatherhood. The man was even willing to give up his parental rights for the woman to keep the baby.

But, the breach of trust and the hurt he caused her was too deep to attempt to overcome. She grappled with a decision to terminate the pregnancy, which would mean letting go of their shared dream and possibly the only chance for her ex-fiancé to have a child.

However, she could not get past the betrayal and the pain. The thought of keeping the baby also meant having her fiance in her life forever, and the Redditor did not see that as a future she would be happy in.

In the court of public opinion, her story gained a lot of responses, with some empathizing and others passing down a bit of judgment. Commenters highlighted that terminating the pregnancy just to seek revenge was wrong but she explained that her decision had nothing to do with him; rather it was personal.

The Reddit user also received much support from the commenters. People assured her she was not wrong for wanting to terminate the pregnancy, especially since she caught her fiance red-handed. “​​NTA, your body, your decision. He was comfortable doing it in your shared bed he's probably been doing it for a long time. I'm sorry.” remarked a Reddit user.

Netizens thought it was unfair for the man to want her to keep the baby when he stepped out of their relationship. “You’re not an incubator for a man who doesn’t respect you,” added another Redditor. More commenters told the woman it was her body and she had the right to decide whether she wanted to keep the baby or not.
