Wife has the right to know. Assuming she doesn’t know about the other woman, she’s been robbed of her agency to make an informed decision to marry this guy. If she chooses not to believe it, then it’s on her.

THIS. You email the woman all of your correspondence and your shock about the whole thing. That way, when she gets ready to divorce him later on, she’ll have a lot of documentation.

100% agree. If I were the fiancée on the other end of this, I’d want to know what kind of filth I married ASAFP.

I don’t agree with every aspect of their plea for money, but I think saying that “because they went to Japan they should be able to afford a baby duh!” argument is ridiculous. I don’t think it changes anything that their family/friends paid for the trip - a baby is a more expensive, ongoing cost that no-one was…

Well, maybe they saved? Like, for a nice, one off expense they both wanted to do together as a couple, before kids etc stop you from being able to do these things due to expense and the fact that kids ruin everything?

I think the point of most comments in this thread is “how dare they enjoy a vacation already payed and planned for, while not being able to afford a baby they didn’t know would be born? How dare they both not have full time employment with decent pay? If they can’t afford a baby they didn’t know about they shouldn’t…

Apparently the woman’s family paid for her and her "I work for a moving company but I'm unemployed" boyfriend to visit Japan.

Oh, I have problems with their plan. I also think it’s entirely possible that someone could have saved up enough money for a one time vacation (even an expensive one) without being prepared financially for an unexpected baby (especially if they just took said vacation).

My dad constantly questioned me to make sure there was only one baby in there. He kept reminding me about the woman with two uteruses / uteri? and he was worried I didn’t know if I had one uterus or two.

I think Potato Salad guy originally asked for, like, $12. But he captured the imagination of the public, and it took off from there. Plus he threw a big event for his town with the money.

“murdering an unarmed BLACK citizen” - You gotta murder the right kinda folk if you want a successful gofundme campaign. Don’t expect to get much support for shooting white people because that is your donor base.

Is your cat sad because no one could possibly understand what she’s going through? My cat is sad because it’s summertime and living ain’t easy.

My cat wakes me up with the sounds of her profound existential anxiety.

This actually happened to someone I know. If it’s like her case, it’s a combo of

BECAUSE POTATO SALAD GUY WAS AN ENTREPRENEUR LIVING THE DREAM BUT THIS MOOCHING BABY SHOULD PULL ITSELF UP BY ITS UMBILICAL CORD BOOTSTRAPS

People get pregnant while using birth control all the time. As sex educators always say “No method is 100% effective.”

Look, I’m sympathetic to the plight of having a baby when 5 seconds ago there was no baby...but this trend of everyone asking for public funding is getting a little excessive.

If a dude can somehow get 55k to make potato salad... I don’t see why a woman shouldn’t get the same amount for having a baby.
