REBLOG IF THIS RELATES TO YOU:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I convinced my friends to break up with their girlfriends and broke up with mine, who is pregnant, in order to please our parents. AITA?

I (30M) and my girlfriend (20F) have been dating for a few years. Three of my good friends (27M, 29M, 30M) were dating three of her friends (21F, 21F, 23F) and we would always hang out together.

A little background: I and my friends all come from fairly wealthy families. Our respective girlfriends are all working class, but mine is an orphan and has no family name or dowry. This didn’t matter up until about a month ago—when she got pregnant and started talking about marriage.

Reddit, our relationship has never been that serious for me, but she seems to be fully in love with me. I stalled and managed to get away without promising anything. At this point, my parents had been pressuring me to finish my studies in Paris, move back home, and marry a suitable girl. I know my friends’ parents have been doing the same.

Fast forward to last week: we all planned an outing and told our girlfriends we had a surprise for them. We took them out on a wonderful day in the park and then out to dinner at a nice restaurant.

Then I fucked up.

I was drunk, my friends were drunk, my friends’ girlfriends were drunk—basically, everyone was drunk except my girlfriend. I stood up and made quite an eloquent speech about the beauty of all the women at the table, finishing it off with a lengthy bit of prose about my girlfriend. Then I kissed her.

Or, at least, I tried. Turns out, I accidentally kissed her friend—they look very similar, see, they’re both blond.

To keep everything from blowing up, I quickly reminded them about the surprise and gathered my things to go and get it. It distracted my girlfriend quite easily—she really isn’t very smart—and my friends and I left the girls waiting at the restaurant. The surprise, they would find out, was a letter we left with the serving-boy that we instructed him to give them after an hour.

Everything went according to plan. Our parents were delighted, my friends’ girlfriends were likely devastated for a turn or two and then moved on like the fickle creatures women are, and I had gotten a cushy job as a lawyer.

I know I shouldn’t have left her with an illegitimate child like that, but I really had no choice! My parents were nagging and if word got out that I fathered a bastard, I’d never get a job. I only did what I had to do to take care of myself. I knew my friends were going to do the same sooner or later, and I figured it would be a cleaner break to do it all at once.

So Reddit, AITA here?

YTA, OP.

OP is failing to mention that he didn't leave his girlfriend pregnant, he left her with a child, who up to that point he'd raised as a father. I have this on the strongest testimony of one of the other women he so callously mentions. It is one thing to end an affair, quite another to end a fatherhood.

(And indeed, even in the manner of ending an affair, OP, you've behaved in an appalling way. There are expectations for these affairs and men of our standing should be the ones to uphold them. I should never trust my family's interests to a man who behaved with such childish ineptitude.) Second, OP surely knows as well as I do that our current laws leave ample opportunity for a man of his station to recognize bastards without being required to marry their mothers. Granted that many do not wish to do things through those legal channels; it's still considered perfectly acceptable for men of our station to have our little dalliances. I know many respectable men in the best families who have their private deductions from the household budget, and have absolutely no doubt that OP does too. It has never hindered any man of standing in his career, and indeed, some of those children so supported have grown to bring great honor to their fathers.

OP, I hope and trust that your former lover and her child--for you've fully renounced her child's connection to you-- have found much better company than yours; indeed I think they could hardly find worse.

Les Misérables summarized, but I include all the typos that I have found in articles published between 1862 and 1978
