He Picked Up Where He Left Off
A paternity mess happened to a really good friend of mine. He was a teenager at the time and he was getting ready to go to university for the first time. He broke up with his ex who came to him a few weeks later and told him she was pregnant and that it was his. He immediately accepted it and dropped out of university before he even started it.
He got a full-time job, took care of her all throughout her pregnancy, and got everything they needed for when the baby arrived. He was even in the delivery room when the baby was born. All of these things, he would soon live to regret. Upon the birth, his ex waivered and asked for a paternity test. All this time, the kid wasn’t even his.
He stuck around for about a month before he realized that it wasn’t his burden to bear and he re-enrolled in university. He just picked up where he left off and basically got on with life. Story credit: Reddit / Sillybanana2012
