Man Finds Out Ex-GF’s Baby Is Not His, Takes Heat From Family After He Throws Party To Celebrate
Nobody wants to get trapped in a bad marriage, relationship, or situation. It can cause a lot of difficulties and even affect a person’s mental health and, in some cases, the rest of their life. It’s no wonder that the guy in this story was extremely overjoyed that he escaped being babytrapped.
He got saved from a terrible relationship and from becoming a dad to someone else’s kid. Isn’t that cause enough to throw a party? But, his family, who really wanted him to have a child, were extremely disappointed and confronted him.

Nobody wants to get stuck with a toxic person, they’ll do their best to escape and if they manage to get out, of course, they should celebrate

The poster explained that he had been dating his girlfriend, Emma, for 3 years, and they were going to get married until she suddenly announced she was pregnant

Since they were using birth control, the guy felt suspicious and asked for a paternity test, it revealed that Emma was not having his baby, which means that she had cheated on him

After breaking up with Emma, the poster felt glad that he wasn’t a dad and not in a toxic relationship anymore, so he decided to hold a not-the-father party in celebration of that

His parents, who liked his cheating ex-girlfriend and wanted him to have a child, were unhappy that he threw a party and called it trashy and gross
Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of their partner’s lies, especially after dating someone for a while. The 28-year-old poster had been with Emma for three years and had considered marrying her. But a sudden revelation from her about being pregnant changed the entire course of their relationship.
Emma had been on birth control, according to the poster, so he felt suspicious about her pregnancy. He also didn’t feel ready to be a dad but was willing to step up to the plate. Still, it’s lucky that he listened to the slight suspicions that he had and asked for a paternity test. It revealed that he wasn’t the baby’s father, and he realized Emma had been cheating all along.
It seems terrifying that a pregnant person would try and fool their partner into thinking they are the baby’s father when they’re actually not. But paternity fraud is more common than you’d imagine. Some women lie to get child support, and others do it so that they have a stable relationship to fall back on in case their affair partner doesn’t want to get involved.
In some cases, the pregnant woman may also make this false claim if she doesn’t know who the actual father is. The problem with lying about paternity is that it puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of a person who doesn’t actually have any connection to the child. This lie, unfortunately, traps the unsuspecting person in a situation they might not have chosen for themselves.

When the poster discovered he wasn’t the kid’s father, he felt extremely relieved and decided to break up with Emma. Later, he decided to throw a party in honor of not being a dad, and his friends came to support him. They even brought a cake with the text ‘you are not the father.’ It must have felt great to celebrate and be freed from such a toxic situation.
Not all people are as lucky as the OP. Some folks who get trapped by paternity fraud end up losing a lot of money in child support payments. Many have to go to court and get an order of compensation when the truth eventually comes to light. Apart from money, the person may also feel like they’ve wasted their time looking after someone else’s offspring.
It’s such a complicated situation and one that nobody would want to find themselves in. So, it makes sense that the poster wanted to celebrate his escape. But, his family seemed to care more about the kid he lost out on and insulted him for throwing this kind of party. Luckily, he had his friends to take his side.
It’s bad enough that his ex cheated on him, but to try and pass her affair baby off as his was the next level of deception. Most folks agreed that he wasn’t wrong for throwing a party. Do you agree, or are you siding with his family? Tell us your honest thoughts in the comments.
People were shocked by the guy’s family’s reactions and said that his ex-girlfriend cheating on him was the only actual “trashy and gross” thing to happen

"Gross" is mixing bodily fluids and putting innocent people at risk of assorted diseases. "Trashy" is sl*tting around when you're in a monogamous relationship AND then trying to babytrap an innocent person. Tell your sisters that you're happy to chat to their boyfriends about what behaviour they find so very acceptable and defensible.

Agreed. Especially given that OP was often switching between being depressed by his Ex's cheating to dancing around in happiness, a celebration for him not being the father of her child is completely appropriate as it was cathartic and significant for his closure on the matter.

Not sure if everyone remembers when a woman celebrated the death of her stalker yet no one called that trashy. Celebrate the small victories. (Not saying all should be dead) but I think you all get my point.

My last stalker died about a year ago, but when I was told, I didn’t believe it (I thought he’d engineered his “death” so I’d let my guard down), so I immediately ran to see whether there was a body. There was ٩(^ᴗ^)۶ and I apparently broke out in the widest grin, and people looked at me as if I were Satan himself. When I asked around, I found out he’d told people that he and I were having a torrid romance (gag!) and I gather they believed it because they didn’t understand how I’d be so happy he was dead! I’m perfectly fine with people thinking I’m cold and heartless; perhaps it’ll give pause to potential future stalkers!
