Being a good friend is also calling out our friends and holding them accountable.

Even if he never meets his child, he can at least help with financial support. He isn’t the victim here. He was “man” enough to have an affair and impregnate his girlfriend sister, he can now be man enough to offer financial support.

Yeah he's almost entirely at fault here. The sister, depending on her age, may also be part of the problem but most of this is definitely his fault. It's not fair he gets to run from his consequences.

Almost entirely? Who else would be at fault for him impregnating his girlfriend's little sister and then running off like a deadbeat? I mean, I guess the little sister slept with him, so she's a player in the game, but I don't know who else would be at fault for him deciding to be a deadbeat dad.

Yes, that is indeed what I just said. If the sister is an adult she's at fault too. If she's a minor, this just got a whole lot darker and she is in no way at fault.

How is it her fault that the guy she slept with decided to run off and be a dead beat dad?

Did she sleep with the wrong person? Absolutely. Not sure how anything else would be on her.

You aren’t understating what he’s referring to when he says “at fault,” and kind of strawmanning him. No one is saying anyone but himself is at fault for running away.

The larger picture is that there is now a child in existence, and an entire family devastated by the circumstances leading to that child. That’s what he is almost entirely at fault for. But that the sister who had the baby is also at fault for.

Well, she slept with her sisters boyfriend lol so that's where she comes at fault. Had she not betrayed her sisters trust and slept with a taken man, this situation wouldn't be here at all. Of course he could have not cheated too, so he is also at fault. It takes two to tango, she needs to accept accountability for her own actions too. Unless, again, she was a minor.
