Is a fake pregnancy prank worse than a fake proposal?

So, my boyfriend is super paranoid about getting me pregnant, even after three years together, we use condoms and birth control.

I have been wanting to get e gaged for some time now but he’s telling me not until he finishes his studies and gets a solid job but I think that’s just stalling we don’t have to get married yet just engaged.

Anyway I thought I’d play a funny, small prank on him and say I’m pregnant, after a few drinks with my girls, some of them encouraged me, saying it would be funny so I got a fake positive test online and told him we need to talk, and sat down and showed him and said I was pregnant.

He was quiet for a second, then left the room and came back with a ring box, and got down on one knee, I felt bad for a second but so happy finally, and the opened the ring box, and there was a f-cking note in there saying “ha ha, got you”, and basically he said that he knew I was pranking him so he decided to counter prank me, and I think it was nasty, we got in a big fight and he kept defending himself with “you started it” and he won’t tell me how he found out and none of my friends will own up, he told me to leave and he needs to think about our relationship but I think it’s not something to break up over we both did wrong his was just a bit more nasty because he knows I want it.

  • Personal i think it whas very funny for both of you. You 2 don't be stupid to brake up.
    If he need time to think he seems to be a little boring.
    Thous pranks didn't hurt nobady.
    My girlfriend did the same to me and i olso finde out befor she start.
    Personal i start to prank her back by telling her i quit university, change my job and olso i invited her to visit some new apartament telling her i will move from the university camp. When she ask me why em I doing all this things, i say because she will have a baby whit me.
    I take her joke "seriosly" :)) and i scharethe shit out of her when i start to not come to university for weeks (i had a exemption of 50% from university because i use to be a basketball player)

    I will sugest you 2 to do more praks like this, be careful not to do stupid pranks that hurts or create phizical discomport or implicate strange people later "beat up prank", "Brake up prank", "get dirty in a way" thous i sugest not to do it

  • So he knows you want marriage and you know he doesn't want kids. So you decided to do something mean to him and he gir back at you in the same way. Honestly I think it's the same level seeing as what you two did. My sister's ex thought you had to get married within a year of proposing. Tell him you don't care if you are engaged for years before getting married. You've decided to be with him forever. You've decided to have his children. You will wait until he is ready to get married and have children, but if he is committed he can at least propose and then decide on marriage when he is financially stable. Maybe even waive the ringing he isn't financially able CD to get one.

  • So basically, you did something spiteful and got upset that he was spiteful back. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and no action was worse than the other, you both acted childishly. The way I see it, YOU literally have two options, and that is to either accept his stance on proposing and just deal with it until he is ready, or leave him and wait for someone who is on the same page as you about these things. But you are an adult and need to behave as such. Come to terms with the fact that you cannot twist his arm into changing his mind, or being the man that you need. He either is or he isn’t, and you need to decide what that is going to mean for you.

  • Fake pregnancy pranks are seriously messed up and so heartless and inconsiderate they aren’t even funny you deserved to what you got with him fake proposing to you I hope he does break up with you since you wanna play heartless games and go and bitch and complain when someone does the same to you

  • Fake pregnancy, which implies a wish for entrapment, is worse. You don't fuck around with that. (no pun intended)

  • You both fucked up but you fucked up again by getting mad. What did you want him to do if he didn't already know? In a way you wanted to hurt him.

  • I think you're both horrible people!

  • I'm on his side, I'm sorry ^^ They're both about equally bad, in my opinion, and shouldn't be joked about ever, and I am sorry that it happened, but since you were about to hurt him, it seems only reasonable to me that you're the one that should end up getting hurt.

  • sounds like you are both too immature to be dating to begin with. the pregnancy one is worse but only by a hair. the reason being they both could end baddly (if real). the proposal would just be an end to a relationship but a pregnancy ending baddly would be the ending of a life. then there is the fact naby people suffer trauma after loosing a child for real from things like misscarriages.


    i go to that extrene of thinking due to having a female cousin who once faked a pregnancy for about 7 months. she faked doctors appointments even. her reasoning boiled down to seeking attention. her end game was to fake a misccariage.

  • Both are very bad

  • You are both equally stupid, I must say. But getting in a fight over this... is really stupid. You got what you were asking for.

    • I mean... play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The pregnancy thing is way nastier... because it entails a shitload of responsibility, especially if you want to keep it and he does not want a child. So it is way more of a shock. Honestly, I would say that if you are not ready to be pranked, but you do such an evil thing... this is a legit reason to break up.

  • Dunno why you got mad at him. You played the game first. Also. Joking about pregnancy is a dick move. So... now you've jeopardized your relationship. I hope he calms down.

  • Both are pretty bad but fake pregnancy is far worse.

  • Both are bad. You had it coming. Get over it.

  • Fake anything is immature.
    Grow up! Start acting like adults!

  • You think what he did was nasty? You've got to be fucking kidding.

    It's not about which prank was worse. It's about the fact that you lied to him about something that is not a joking matter and his response was exactly what you deserved.

    Frankly, if I were in his shoes I would be seriously reconsidering my relationship with you too. I would seriously be asking myself if you have just shown your true colors and would go even further and go off birth control to get pregnant and force him to marry you. That sounds like a recipe for a lot of resentment and a failed relationship, and then you've brought a child into the middle of it.

  • you both screwed up

  • A fake pregnancy test is a horrible thing to do to someone. He also shouldn't have faked proposal to you because that's also a really mean thing to do. All in all, you're both assholes.
