tough choice
several years ago, an old friend of mine got engaged. i hadn't seen her since school, so didn't know she'd changed from a nice girl into a complete slut. she was heavily pregnant at the time, which is why her timid boyfriend had agreed to marry her.
during the party, i went outside for a smoke. as i leaned against the wall, i heard my mate's voice coming from around the corner. she was on the phone to someone who, judging by the conversation, was clearly the baby's real father. she was telling him that there was no need to worry, of course she'd still shag him when she was married.
i was disgusted, but didn't know what to do. should i confront her? should i tell her fella? i just didn't know. eventually, i decided to confront her and give her the chance to tell him herself. if she didn't, then i would. i know this comes across as a bit holier-than-thou, but could you really stand aside and watch someone's life be ruined* because of lies? well, i couldn't. i decided to wait until after the party, so that their families and friends could avoid hearing about it.
fortunately, the decision was taken out of my hands. towards the end of the night, my mate got very pissed(despite being pregnant) and started a fight with her fella, during which she loudly told the entire club that he wasn't the real father and dumped him.
we're not friends any more.

*trust me, his life would have been ruined, she treated him like shit.

Being a "father" is fucking expensive.
Anyone lying to a man about that needs outing ASAP. The CPS are not a friendly bunch of people who help your career.
Sorry, going off on one, but pretending someone is the father when he is not is absolutely unforgiveable and labels you as scum.

If you don't have the responsibility or the financial means to be a father you've no-one to blame but yourself.
And if you're weak enough to have a fast one pulled on you, you shouldn't be having relationships in the first place. It's irresponsible and immature.

I'm not sure I understand you.
You're saying that some random guy who wore a condom which you told him had split (or similar) should pay for a kid some other random guy fathered, as well as the kid being brought up by a deceived man who resents it?
Wow, I Really hope you have cancer or, failing that, are raped to death soon.
Deceit of that magnitude is never forgivable.

I was quoting...
But, yes, that's the sentiment I was expressing.

A google tells me we are both wrong.
"rod" but no "reel"?
Though if you insist you're right I'll believe you since the only copy I had was on VHS and is now landfill.

It agrees with google, I'm afraid :(
There are a few things in Dwarf which I swear were there the first time it was broadcast and not the next -- like a burp which seems to be missing.
Either we all remember things that didn't happen, they were good at inferring things, or we're all getting the book, TV series and our friends imitating it confused.

I had a sneaking suspicion you were after his cock.
I guess I was correct?
