I ask because my mom is convinced my brother's girlfriend did this. They were broke up because he didn't want to marry her, then she got pregnant, and now they're back together, moved in together, and he plans to marry her soon. She's in her 20s and he's early 30s. So her getting pregnant got her exactly what she wanted.

Seems to work, so is it true?

He broke up with her because he didn't want to marry her...but he was still having sex with her, without wearing a condom? And you think the fault lies solely with the girlfriend?

Maybe you and your mom should go take "Sex Ed 101" and get back to us, mmkay?

+1. Sounds like mom may be trying to distract from the fact that she raised a stupid child.

Alright, I'll admit it. I knew my boyfriend wouldn't commit. He comes from money, so I figured- hey, if I lock him down, I'll be set. So I surreptitiously stopped taking birth control- I just flushed it down the toilet every day instead of taking it. My boyfriend didn't have the faintest clue! When the little blue line came up on the test, I acted devastated- I can't believe it! How could my birth control fail? But he got down on one knee in less than a week, and my future was set. I got the diamond ring, the mansion, and I locked down my man, too. AND I'm banging the pool boy.

Oh wait- that's not me, it's a storyline from a telenovela I saw. But I'm sure SOMEONE fits that, OP!

Considering we're both older and we had to use IVF to get pregnant...not us.

Not here. And I don't know any women who have done this.

But it did happen to a college friend of mine.

Nope

I'm not sure this applies in modern society, with so many single households and unmarried parents living together.

Unless you're in a particularly conservative group, OP, and even then...

You may be in the wrong demographic here, lots of career women on DCUM who didn't marry / have kids until relatively late. Go read the "regret kids" posts about all the women who agreed to have children so their spouses wouldn't leave.

I...don't know if anyone who's done that in real life. Do you and your mom watch a lot of telenovelas?

Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner!

Your brother could have used a condom if he was that concerned.

Sounds like your mom needs to lay off the lifetime movies.

I'm willing to bet 90-97% of the marriages on DCUM are caused by exactly that.

Just kidding, you and your mom sound like nut job conspiracy theorists and horrible people.

Get a vasectomy. I had my tubes tied because I knew I didn't want a baby.

Also goes for men, how many got your wife preggo so she'd be stuck with you for life?
