This happened 45 minutes ago...still laughing / cringing about itI have been seeing a girl for about 6 months. Nothing super serious but we are having fun and some of that fun has been a bit irresponsible. As a result - we found out last weekend that she was 6 weeks pregnant.Fortunately we are both in exactly the same place re: what we want to do re: pregnancy given the stage of relationship and where we are at in life. However we have both agreed to keep it on the DL and only share with each other. (People have very strong views on these sort of things and TBH we didn't want any unnecessary judgement/advice from friends / family)Anyway - this morning I got my GF with the BEST April Fool (pretending via text I'd lost my job and my visa was expiring so i have to leave the country.) I allowed her the obligatory 10 seconds of panic before saying "April fools" and chucking to myself watching the "F you" and "You're a d*ck" messages roll in.I was literally still chuckling when my housemate (who had been over to my GF's last night) said COMPLETELY out of the blue,Housemate: "So - [GF Name] told me last night that she is pregnant". Me: "Errrrrmmm really?" Housemate: "Yes - how do you feel about it?" Me: "Well...." - Proceeds to explain in great detail how I feel about this secret pregnancy, the pros and the cons, my deepest feelings, how I'm so glad I can talk about it with someone etc etcAbout about a minute of me pouring my heart out - my housemate looks at me and says "Dude wtf are you on about? We were just joking it's April Fools. Is [GF] actually pregnant??!" FUCK - At this point no amount of denial could disguise the transparency of my face. And so, beetroot red with embarrassment at being caught so easily, I told housemates all about it, half in hysterics at how swiftly karma was redistributed after my mean April Fools on her.Tl:dr - Immediate Karma retribution after shitty April Fools by unwittingly informing our friendship group of secret unwanted pregnancy
