If you get pregnant after casual sex, how much do you owe to him?

[Anonymous]

If a girl has casual sex with a guy who is her acquaintance and they either didn't use because or it failed, how much influence do you think he should have in the decision of what she should do? (Whether it is take plan B asap, and if she gets pregnant do you think it is her choice alone in what to do about it? Or his as well?)

i think it's best to always notify the guy that you will be having his child..though don't expect him to be around or offer you any help if it's just a one night stand. Just let him know whatever is going on . It will be up to him if he wants to get involved in the child's life or not. Atleast when your child asks you who the father is, you will have something to tell him or her.

To answer your actual question. If you have sex with an acquaintance and you get pregnant then he has 50% responsibility and decision of what to do. If he says he doesn't care what you do then it's up to you.

If you were in a relationship, there needs to be a discussion that he should hold equal influence. If it's a one night stand, then no influence. If it's someone like a f*** buddy, they should hold equal influence since it's basically a relationship but no labels.

For all guys, if a child is yours, take care of it. I see too many low life pieces of sh*t that get out scott free after knocking up some girl that he was dating after doing her while refusing to wear a condom, refusing to have any part in raising the child

If she has any kind of relationship at all then it's got to be discussed. If it was a one night stand then I'd say it's safe to say he wasn't interested in having a kid with you or getting seriously involved in your life.

The final decision is yours; you're the one who has to carry his child. Really, though, this needs to be a decision that you make (that is, should have already made) together. If you two, as parents, can't even decide together whether you want to be parents at all, that's a dark sign for the future of your parenthood.

He still has the right to know to be honest.
