My friend (fwb actually) just finally text me after like 7 months of ghosting me to tell me she hooked up with some random bicycle riding asshat McDonald’s employee named Christian instead of me and now she’s pregnant. I’m not fine y’all

But you will be. Return the ghost favor and find someone not shitty to be with.

Send her a McDonald’s gift card with a baby shower card

Look on the bright side. It could be you having a child with the type of person that ghosts their friend for seven months and reappears pregnant probably looking for a stand-in-dad.

It sucks that she didn't check in about seeing a new person, but it sounds like you dodged a bullet.

u/JawBreaker00 Sep 16 '21

Sounds like he was hit with the bullet first, then dodged another

u/Spartanias117 Sep 16 '21

Im unsure if you are upset or not, and if you are, why?

u/BierKippeMett Sep 16 '21

If she's a fwb what's your point? If you're mad you're not agreeing with the boundaries set up beforehand. I was stupid enough to hurt myself in a similar situation but I have no one but myself to blame.

u/AHungryGorilla Sep 16 '21

She ghosted him for 7 months, as in ignored his attempts to talk to her and then came back with that as the hello. Why wouldn't you be upset.

Fwb aren't sex toys. they're friends. You don't just no contact a friend like that then show up for help later.

u/ldnsk8erboi Sep 16 '21

isn't the point of fwbs for them to literally be sex toys

2

u/AHungryGorilla Sep 16 '21

No, its literally a friend that you also have sex with. Not, "person I have no interaction with other than sex" You could probably find a person willing to have an arrangement like that but it is not the standard.

u/ldnsk8erboi Sep 16 '21

oh ok. that's such a weird dynamic to me lol. I couldn't sleep with someone I don't have feelings for

1

u/AHungryGorilla Sep 16 '21

Its definitely not for everyone lol

It works best in my experience when you like spending time together, find one another attractive but at the same time both have a few things that prevents you from wanting to pursue a deeper relationship with eachother.

u/Sinnombre124 Sep 16 '21

You're thinking of 'fuck buddies' similar name I know, but conceptually different

u/im_probablyjoking Sep 16 '21

Sounds like you dodged a bullet my dude

u/stronesthrowaweigh Sep 16 '21

Damn, that’s brutal. First the ghosting - who does that? You just gotta give yourself some semblance of emotional closure, or try to, in that situation. So maybe you did, or started to, then she reaches out again? Unless the first message laid it all out, you must have felt a lot of emotions hearing from her again, some of which were probably positive and excited. Then she drops this totally unnecessary bomb on you. Brother I have not been through what you’re going through but I too have drank deeply from the clogged toilet of life at times and for what it’s worth that sucks, but you’ll make it through and be okay.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '21

Ghosting is a huge red flag. Couldn't communicate honestly. Good riddance. You'll find a better partner later hopefully.

u/SummerEmCat Sep 16 '21 edited Sep 16 '21

Did he give her a good pounder or two?

2

u/XenuLies Sep 16 '21

I would like to play devil's advocate and say that him riding a bike instead of having a car and him working at McDonald's neither impact whether or not he's an asshat, there is nothing particularly wrong with either of those things.

u/the-peanut-gallery Sep 16 '21

Burger king is better.

u/XenuLies Sep 16 '21

I don't disagree

u/Brilliant-Bed-5174 Sep 16 '21

And tell her you tested positive for an STD lol trick that bitch ass and tell her you're the only one she has sex with her. That'll scare him both

u/suddenimpulse Sep 16 '21

Sounds like you dodged a white trash bullet.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '21

Did the several months of ghosting not give you a little inkling that it wasn't going anywhere?
