[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people are telling OP to 'support the lady'. By making a choice that effects both of them, she is roping him into an expense that will take at LEAST 25% of his salary for the next 18 years. But sure OP go ahead, no big deal.[/quote]

Umm the OP made the choice of having sex with a woman still capable of having children.  He could have had a vasectomy, he could date a woman past having children, he could abstain from sex.  Therefore he had 50% of the responsibility. An ex boyfriend of mine said that his dad reminded him any woman he has sex with can be the mother of his children. This is why everyone is saying he needs to support his child regardless of if the relationship with his ex.

What a disingenuous comment.

Getting a vasectomy is generally permanent. Just because he didn't want children right now, with this particular woman, doesn't mean he doesn't want children ever.

By this logic, if someone rear ends my car, I should pay half because every time I get onto the road, I take the risk that I could get into an accident and if I don't like that, I should just stay home, or walk everywhere.[/quote]

Off topic, but OP is 35.  Was he holding out to 50 to become a dad for the first time?  With a car, you are supposed  to purchase car insurance because of the risk of you causing an accident or someone else (hit and run, uninsured driver etc).

Also sex, is a 50/50 responsibility unlike a car accident where one person can be deemed responsible for paying.  As a woman, I think it’s utter BS in this day an age a woman is completely responsible if she ends up pregnant and the father of the child is an innocent bystander that has no responsibility . It’s like the 1950’s in the 2017’s. [/quote]
