I ran into an old acquaintance - someone I worked with some years ago. Confirmed bachelor, never wants to get married, the whole bit. We started talking and I told him that I was divorced now but seeing someone. Anyway, he tells me that his sister's "bff" (female), whom he'd known for practically a lifetime (in fact, his family had known the bff's family many years) were talking one day; just life in general, politics, the usual b.s. Well, he says, one day the bff calls to ask a small favor. He agrees and goes to help. Well, I guess one thing led to another and...
Now he tells me that she says she might be pregnant! He's frazzled, says he didn't want kids or marriage. I know, I know, I didn't want to ream him and I didn't. He said that it was only ONE time, ONE weak moment that they just couldn't control themselves. He's beside himself - his sister does not know and he's afraid if she finds out, she'll go nuts.
I kind of feel sorry, but in a way I don't. Part of me wants to break out the popcorn, sit back and watch the guns blaze and not say a word, yet another part of me wants to run as fast and far away as possible.
It only takes ONE time.This guy sounds very selfish and immature.People have weak moments BUT if he was SO adamant about not wanting kids from the beginning...he should have gotten himself fixed from the get go a long time ago so whenever these weak moments were to happen...he would be fine..but I guess he wasn't that adamant about not wanting kids because everyone knows..you have sex with the opposite sex...it will or could happen.It only takes one time.Who I feel sorry for is the poor kid who might be born out of all of this.
Given the accuracy and early detection of today’s pregnancy tests,”might be” pregnant doesn’t make much sense.
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Generally by the time a girl is wondering if she might be pregnant, a test will settle the matter one way or another.

So what? Why are you posting about this on a public forum? It isn't your concern nor the concern of anyone else on this forum so what is your point in posting about it? You should just mind your own business instead of going on internet and posting gossip about strangers.
I think you couldn't wait to run away...to the nearest computer so you could log on and dish about this conversation. It's fine, you didn't name names, you're not a bad person, but let's call a spade a spade. This is gossip, not you having some moral dilemma over what to do.

He actually DID pose it as a moral dilemma. Whether to make attempts to get closer to the situation so he can watch the fireworks as his friend's life explodes, or "run away"---whatever that means. It sounds childish though.

Who would ream an old acquaintance who divulged that his one-night-stand might be pregnant?
Why will you be in a position to either sit back and watch OR run away? You haven't seen this guy in years and don't know the woman involved. What makes you think you'll hear anything else about it?
