Wow. Sounds like this dude is a compulsive liar. None of those things sound very believable and pulling out the cancer card because he's scared she'll leave him is hella manipulative. Hopefully she'll notice all this sooner rather than later.

I fully expect my sister to do this with the stray dog she picked up last year. It's a sweet little thing but it desperately needs some training to be able to settle into the household.

I am with you, though, it is really obnoxious to put "I can't afford drinks AND dinner out AND concert tickets, I have to choose!" to "I…

Everybody's getting what they want, baby-wise, or baby-not-wise! Hooray!

Good news for me, after 2 years I have passed a course I've been doing in my spare time so hopefully I can get a new job :-)
