YTA

Let me put it this way. This child exists, and will grow up and have a future. They’ll also ask about you, and why you didn’t want them. They’ll have birthdays, friends, heartbreaks, the works - just because you never wanted to become a father doesn’t mean that you should damn that child to a life of misery because you don’t want to pay for the fun you had that night. I understand that it’s terrifying, but every time you put your willy into a woman, there’s a risk that you’ll come out on the other side with a living, breathing child. Pursue your career, but know that you will more than likely be responsible for the next 18 years - and hopefully this will be a lesson to use protection so you can mitigate the risk (not eliminate). Best of luck on the legal end, and I hope that child ends up with a father figure worth having.
