Instead of jumping to conclusions why not get the facts first?

Seems to me it would depend entirely on the relationship and circumstances. If she were a really close friend and had no family to be with her, then it might be understandable. But if immediate family and/or the baby's father were available, then why on earth would he believe he had standing to insert himself into such a private, family situation? If the former is not the case, then I think it is indeed odd behavior... unless he happens to be the father. I can understand OPs head scratching moment. Normal behavior would be to stop by after a few weeks with a little gift for the baby.

 

I agree with this, I would never think of imposing on something that is considered by most people to be a private family situation.

 

Not to mention, the way he advised the OP.... the sense of urgency, almost panic.

 

Similar to how the father of the baby would react, not just a good friend.

 

And if she were such a good friend, why doesn't the OP know about her? Know she was pregnant?

 

Sounds very fishy IMO....

Him and I talked today, and he says its a family friend, and he was giving a ride to her husband or her not sure because one of them didn't have a ride and he had a car available. I think he was giving the husband a ride but not sure.

 

Hmmm, why are you not sure?

 

What did he communicate to you?

 

How do you miss details from a conversation like this?

 

Did what he told you sound sketchy? Is that why you're not sure?

 

This whole thing sounds really strange to me..... I mean he's not just gonna admit the baby is his... he had to tell you something ...

 

And maybe it's just my spiney senses, but it sounds like what he told you was rather sketchy .... since you are not even sure, after talking to him, what the hell happened.

He told me it was a friend of the family and they didn't have a ride to the hospital and he gave them a ride, dropped them off, and then came back home, thats all that happened. In the end they had a boy. Thats all that happened he says.
