I've literally met people in this situation in real life. I know it's the internet and everything here is basically a lie, but what here specifically makes it so unbelievable to you? Because I can assure you from personal life experience that it's at least a plausible reality.

Hell, people do way worse than this too.

My friend got his gf pregnant and wasn't ready for a child so they had the abortion conversation but she suddenly became religious out of nowhere and had to have the child because of her religion.

Well fast forward a year and a half and she leaves him to move to another state "that's more fun" and refused to take the child with her because apparently raising a kid isn't fun... So much for being a "good Christian."
