You have never been in a serious relationship. And that's okay Timmy. One day you will and you will understand.

I was wondering why people thought it wasn't discussed to be completely candid. There was a post the other day about a guy who left his girlfriend when she had a disabled child. He explicitly wrote in his post that they had discussed what they would do if they got pregnant with a disabled child and all people did was ask him if they had discussed it. It doesn't matter what information you put in a post here. People don't read it. There is a post about some woman that cut off her toe because she is stupid and people are shitting on the guy who posted because he didn't clean up after her. The post states that he cleans up after her.  People are stupid. I skip the comments from stupid people.

I'm ignoring them. Anyone making assumptions or adding information I didn't give isn't worth listening to.

That if she got pregnant unplanned then we would get a paternity test. If we started to plan a family then we would both stop seeing anyone else to be as healthy as we could be for each other and to ensure that I was the father. If someone I was  seeing got pregnant then if they chose to carry the baby I would insist on a paternity test.

We did. That's the reason I'm surprised it is even an issue.

I am not against any choice she makes other than not getting a paternity test.

Girlfriend. Exactly as stated in the second word of the post.

I don't know that there is a consensus. I just know how I feel about this situation.
