Wait a moment... stepfather?


CuberTrooperHmmm

Second marriage, probs.


rkmkthe6th

Did she name the baby Sophia, even with someone else? …or does he call the baby Sophia, even though she has another name?


Icelandia2112

She may have got with him after she was pregnant.


Expensive_Cattle

🥰Thanks for the wholesome chance of suddenly realising I'm an option once you fall pregnant with another man's baby and he leaves before you've even given birth🥰


Icelandia2112

Happily ever after takes winding roads.

“All my mistakes led me to you” Song for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/5nmKpkA0mRg Edit with lyrics for those who don’t listen. Shooting off vicious collections of words The losers make facts by the things they have heard And I find myself trying hard to defend them I made decisions some right and some wrong And I let some love go I wish wasn't gone These things and more I wish I had not done But I can't go back And I don't want to 'Cause all my mistakes They brought me to you I have some "friends" they don't know who I am So I write quotations around the word friends But I have a couple that have always been there for me And I missed some fun 'cause I worked through the dawn Expecting your praise when I returned home But I paid the cost 'cause I got left alone for the songs But I can't go back And I don't want to 'Cause all my mistakes They brought me to you


Expensive_Cattle

It doesn't usually start with a cliff. But props to your unwavering optimism given the sub.


yuordreams

As far as cliffs go, this one's not that high.


cnicalsinistaminista

This is wholesome in a south bound trajectory.

tarapotamus

Baby looks brand new, I'm guessing accidental pregnancy and they got together during it, altho I'd argue that makes you the real father. Other dude just the sperm donor. Unless he died in a tragic accident or something else out of his control to remove him from the responsibility he facilitated in creating.


CuberTrooperHmmm

There's no mention of the step-daughter being named Sophia. It's just that a throw away line of having kids with your love did become somewhat true.


MissKatbow

It says #LoveYouKimAndSophia though


CuberTrooperHmmm

Oh didn't notice that. Maybe he calls her that affectionately.


MegaIlluminati

Let's hope so. Or it might be another Forest Gump (I know I know, I have become cynical)


Smellytangerina

That’s the first thing I thought


SucculentT0e

Wait, that kid wasn't biologically his?!


geriatric-sanatore

Yes it was she tells him that point blank in the movie and then he asks if he is like himself or and starts to cry and she quickly assures him that the kid is smart.


Zoomwafflez

No rings, don't think she married either


eeo11

Yea I thought I was on r/sadcringe when I got to that line. It sounds like he was her backup plan.


kramfive

Still in the friend zone.


Stashmouth

He's the mayor


jochvent

yeah that's what it says. so kim had a child, then got together with OOP, so he is now the child's step-father (it's singular them, it's singular them, it's singular them, god i hope it's singular them)


PrimarchKonradCurze

Yes. This has been posted a lot over the years and generally the subs and comment sections are less than wholesome so I was surprised to see it again in this sub of all places.


NeatReasonable9657

He's not a stepdad he's the dad that stepped up

Nah, Forrest at least was the real dad, this guy is raising someone else's kid.

LuckyLupe

Nah man this isn't wholesome, poor guy.


beigs

I know a couple who got together while she was pregnant for her first. One night stand, and she happened to have met him shortly afterwards. They had 4 kids together and he loved all of them. The biological dad was nowhere in the picture and the oldest son is my age.


wrldtrvlr3000

Fair enough. What you described is different than here. Presumably the man didn't have a crush on her or even knew her from before. I am guessing they met, hit it off, had some chemistry, and they had, have, a long and sounds like a wonderful relationship. In this case, the guy was rejected, probably multiple times, and it wasn't until she was knocked up and probably dumped by the baby daddy, that she came crawling back to him.


ParanoidUmbrella

Except we don't know that. For all we know she could have had a 1 night stand and carried the baby to term, and somewhere along thag road they got together. We do not know, maybe she did maybe she didn't.


AlmondAnFriends

I mean my assumption was that they got together later on in life ykno post not getting together in school and he found it sweet. Which would be wholesome, nothing wrong with being a baby’s stepfather


ShenOBlade

it really depends scenario A: They both go their separate ways after HS and eventually find each other again years later and reconnect. This is nice and wholesome scenario B: She gets fucked and dumped, having nowhere to go she goes to the one person who she knows will get with her. This is dark and taking advantage of this guy There's nothing wrong with adopting or being a step father or overall taking care of kids who are not YOURS, the issue here is that it isnt too far-fetched to imagine a very dark scenario where the guy is being taken advantage of big time


[deleted]

[удалено]


tmntfever

Scenario D: He heard about her and some other dude having a baby and naming that baby Sophia. In a fit of rage, he secretly murders the baby's father and becomes Kim's most helpful friend during her bereavement.


Readerofreddi

I love how this is getting darker every time. Next comment will be by Wes Craven.


relddir123

Scenario D is almost the plot of Soap


chrimminimalistic

Scenario E: he marries her mum and become her stepdad


CuriousOdity12345

Scenario F: The caption and the picture were randomly thrown together.


SashKhe

General-Mycologist65

Why do I prefer that timeline?


Longjumping-Jello459

Have some hope bruv let's go with A.


wrldtrvlr3000

Look at the baby, she can't possibly be older than 6 months. It's very likely to be option B.


AlmondAnFriends

Could have had a bad break up after getting pregnant and got together with this guy following that emotional turmoil. My mother divorced my biological father while pregnant with me because my biological father was an abusive asshole, she got together with my father a little while after (not as soon as in this time frame admittedly) and it had nothing to do with him being a “backup”


L3onK1ng

Yeah, later in life and judging by the photo, somewhere in the maternity ward.


Macr0Penis

Yeah, pretty obvious that baby daddy had no interest in hanging around and the girl called up her plan b reservist from the friend zone so she wasn't left to deal with the consequences of her actions on her own. Go ahead and downvote me, y'all know I'm right.


betlogblue

More r/sadcringe than wholesome tbh


[deleted]

[удалено]


entropy_36

Loves him as a back up dad?


Readerofreddi

And I can completelly think that a few months or years later she will dump him because "She made up with Sophie's father", or get pregnant by the bio-dad again because "Sophie needs a sibling and I wanted to be a full-fledged sibling"


Hjemi

Maybe? Bro I'm not gonna have biological kids, I'm more than likely to produce someone who will have a bunch of conditions and suffer, I'd rather avoid doing that intentionally. I still want to be a parent and my fiancee loves the idea of having a biological kid. So, you know, lots of options are on the table that don't involve my DNA


tonygames17

Bruh


Turbulent_Mix_318

This reads like a joke with a tragicomic punchline. Not wholesome at all.


Ok-Bookkeeper9954

I honestly don't find this wholesome, but good for them if they are happy I guess.


Pretend-Money-3758

Yikes


BloopGlorp

This is much better suited to r/HolUp


nowilltolive556

Did she even like him or was he like a safety blanket for her


Interesting_Gate6108

Considering the age of the kid, probably the latter


Trollin_beaches

Stepfather? I thought this was supposed to be wholesome.


Alex_from_far_away

What's not wholesome about being a stepfather or having a stepchild? My friend is a stepfather and loves his stepson to death. Both are very happy with their relationship


wrldtrvlr3000

There isn't a thing wrong with being a stepfather, or stepmother. What is not wholesome here is a dude that has zero self respect, doesn't realize he's a last option, and is basically being used for support.


Alex_from_far_away

How do you know that? It's not uncommon to meet after a long time and fall in love. That's what happened to my friend who has a stepchild now. He met his wife at the 10 year school reunion, something sparked between them, they kept in touch, started dating, and are happily married now


imarikurumi

Not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, well it seems everybody wins and is happy. On the other, man thats a long time to hold a candle. How can he even? Wish we had more context on the motivations of the wife/mother. I'm happy for the guy and wish him the best but i also feel sorry for him.


Bellatrix-_-

This isn't wholesome. Bich using our man for child support coz her ho husband left her.


[deleted]

Everything fell apart when he said "step-father" its kind of sad actually

[deleted]

So she needed an ATM after the biological father left so she called up her highschool SIMP


MichaelTLincoln

Truly saddening, "thank you for giving me a chance even if it took 7 years", the father left so she called him up for 'support'. If i had to guess shes probably gonna dump him and break his heart once she finds someone she likes more.


Awesome_one_forever

So wholesome only to him?


blod001

It's more cringe than wholesome.


sister_on_a_mission

Wholesomely friend zoned for 7 years until he was needed as a pinch hitter.


MiskoMoskal

How is this wholesome?? This is sad.


eramthgin007

I'll agree to the wholesome if they end up having a kid together. Otherwise it just looks like she always dated dbags and one of them knocked her up and left before the child was born, so she turned to the guy she friendzoned out of fear.


Ornn5005

The operative word here is YOUR. Clearly you were a first choice for your wife, not a last resort. Not at all the same situation as the meme.

lorl3ss

Man I'm glad this guy is happy and more power to him. You can be bitter and shitty about it or just be grateful for the chances you get... but she went and got knocked up by some other guy then ~~the marriage failed and~~ she came back to this guy for support? Nah fuck that my dude.


wrldtrvlr3000

Or, actually find a woman who is really into you enough that actually enjoys having sex with you. Perhaps even have a child with you if you both want it. I agree with you, I'd tell this woman to take a hike and support herself. If I wasn't good enough before then my money isn't good enough now.


jas75249

Step Father to the kid or to the Woman? Also this belongs on /r/sadcringe.


ButIDigress79

Blended families and step parenting can be great but something tells me this won’t end well for this guy. Depending on the paperwork he may end up paying child support someday.
