I'm 22 and I got my girlfriend's mum, 42, pregnant – she won't even consider giving the baby up, her dad thinks it's his

A MAN has revealed how he cheated on his girlfriend with her own mum, and to make matters worse, he got her pregnant too.
He and his partner got together in high school and had been in a steady relationship for five years.
Now in university the pair decided to avoid halls and moved into a property outside of the campus, but the pressure of school work quickly put a strain on their relationship.
In an anonymous Reddit post, he explains: "My girlfriend has been overwhelmed by her curriculum and has been nothing but distant and stressed.
"She’s always suffered from bouts of depression and anxiety but it has gone into overdrive and honestly it’s driven a divide in our relationship the last year or so."
The bloke went on to explain that his girlfriend's parents had recently split up, causing her more upset.
"She invited her mom to live with us and we surprisingly got along really good," he says.
Perhaps a little too well, some might argue.
"One night after a few drinks her mom made a move on me and it kind of just went from there afterwards," he explains.
"Last week she told me she needed to talk to me and told me she’s pregnant.
"I was mostly confused because she’s pretty old and already had kids."
He explains that he asked her to terminate the pregnancy but the mum said she needed time to think.
However, his girlfriend threw a curve ball into the mix.
"We didn’t speak much this last week but last night my girlfriend revealed to me that her mom was pregnant and that her mom told her dad," he explains.
"So now my GFs dad thinks the baby's his apparently and after a brief chat with her mom she coldly told me she’s keeping it and pretty much told me f*** off."
The man went on to say he was aware he was an a**hole and knew he couldn't be with his girlfriend any longer but worried about how she might handle the news.
Fellow Redditors were quick to weigh in on the situation, and it's fair to say that they didn't go easy on the man.
"You’re an idiot," wrote one, "You let the wrong head do your thinking …and damn, it’s certainly bitten you in the a**."
A second added: "You aren’t gonna tell your girlfriend that you CHEATED? Why does this poor girl have to stay with a spineless, brainless cheater?"
Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.
Meanwhile a third commented: "I can't believe what I just read. The poor daughter and father… this is most unfair to them. I'm stunned."
Updating Redditors on the situation, the cheater revealed he planned to 'walk away' from the situation.
He writes: "I’ve decided to walk away from the situation and let it handle itself, I’m washing my hands of this.
"My gfs dad is claiming the baby and as far as anyone knows it’s his so he’s happy and her mom is also excited to have a baby from what my gf tells me.
"Plus me and my gf have been getting along so good lately and her mom is moving back home so there’s no more tension there. Our fling has all but died."
He later revealed that her mum sadly lost the baby and while he hadn't confessed to his girlfriend they have been attending therapy together.
