She(20f) and I(20m) have known each other for many years now.
Yesterday, she came to my house with tears in her eyes. I asked her what's going on. She told me that she got pregnant after a one night stand. I was shocked at first but then told her I'm here for her and will help her through this how I can. Then she told me she doesn't want some random dude from Tinder helping her raise her child.
She asked me if I would sign the birth certificate when she gives birth and help her raise her baby, because she doesn't want the baby to 'grow up a bastard.'
I just stared at her, asking her if she's joking. She was serious. She begged me, telling me I would do this for her if I care about her. I told her I'm not going to sign up for 18 years of financial responsibility for someone else's child. I told her that I'll be happy to be the child's fun godfather and buy gifts and spoil the kid once I start making that sort of money, but I'm not going to be dad. She got mad at me after that and raised her voice but I told her to leave before she could start shouting at me. Wasn't shouting at me yet, but close to.
Her other friends later said I should've let her stay and try to comfort her since she was panicking over this massive change in her life.
