I (25F) moved in with my close friend Sarah (24f) and her boyfriend Dan(27M) we worked for separate contractors and the same warehouse but we all had the same job and made good money for our age. I fought really hard for the place that we wanted and had to step up and be the adult when it came time for rental applications and finding a place. They were not much help but I found a place that we all liked and moved in.
I also had to pay for her part of the deposit when we moved in because she didnt have the money together yet but I was excited about the place and didn’t want to miss out on getting it. Edit: (we had been preparing to move for a couple months, she eventually did pay me back after almost 2 and a half months and took a small vacation before doing so)
Everything the first couple months went great and we were all getting along very well, we had game nights and had fun cooking for/with eachother. During the 4th month I was being woken up every morning to the sound of my female roommate throwing up very loudly, after a few days of this I finally mentioned that she should take a pregnancy test and her boyfriend agreed.
I knew they were excited about being parents some day but before we moved in together i made it very clear I did not want to live with a baby and they both agreed they didn’t want them yet. She went to the bathroom and took a test, when she came out she held up the test, I had misread it and thought it was negative and visibly was happy and relieved, When she pointed at the test and I looked closer I realized it was positive, I went completely silent and went to my room and closed the door, my Boyfriend was in my room and had heard the whole conversation and he was also at a loss for words. I was incredibly worried because although she was my friend, she is a very irresponsible person.
which only got worse after she found out she was expecting. I knew she would want to keep it and i was supportive the best i could be because she is my friend and I knew her boyfriend was amazing and always knew he loved her very much and treated her well. He is a extremely nice and fun guy who me and my boyfriend had become good friends with.
In the past her ex fiance had made her get an abortion because they were very young and they wouldn’t be able to handle a child yet and a year after that she had had a miscarriage I think probably due to her ED which she had gotten better with since me and her current boyfriend had entered her life and she was always very excited to tell us when she had gained a few pounds every now and then and we would make sure to let her know we were proud of her. she had told me awhile before that she was on the same birth control as me, which is an implant that goes in your arm and is one of the most effective birth controls that you can have. My doctor had explained to me a long time ago about the importance of getting it removed if I ever got pregnant and was planning on keeping the baby, not to mention to go the doctor and make sure the pregnancy was not ectopic which can be very dangerous.
