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.
Why do you need to do anything? You just happened to run into him? Probably won't run into him again. He shouldn't have told you that. I think you should say nothing, do nothing. Pretend you never heard that.

I'm not gonna do a confounded thing. As to why he told me, I guess he needed to tell someone uninvolved. I agree it's TMI, but hey it's their drama, not mine.

its not like misplacing keys....unprotected sex leads to pregnancy everyone knows this (adults) and ...if this was important to him.... not to be in this situation....he should have avoided it..
we all avoid temptation.....because of consequences.... he made his own bed..planted his own seed... I hope hes man enough to help the mother out ...financially and be a dad ...

Break out the popcorn? Are you kidding? You mean insert yourself into the situation for your own entertainment? Then the other part of you want to run away, but from what? You barely know these people. You are simply gossipping. With US of all people.

Gossiping? With strangers on a forum?? Did I ever name names? And I've told no one else.
Now, if I had told someone I actually knew...whole 'nother story. And I'm not telling anyone I know!

It's still gossip, even if we don't know their names. You didn't have a question or want advice, just wanted to dish about the guy's "misfortune."
One thing DID lead to another, and another and another and another.
He made many choices to get into this situation, not just "one weak moment." That's the point worth learning in THIS little bit of gossip.
Exactly. It's not like he was dropped from the sky, like a storm troper, naked, into her bedroom, where she also just happened to be naked ....
Will grownups ever take responsibility for their own actions and choices?
