My girlfriend of 11 years is pregnant. Today I found out it's not mine. I'm devastated, and I don't know where to go from here.

It’s been over 11 years since my girlfriend and I started dating. We are in our 30’s. I may be younger than most people think when they hear that we have been together for over a decade, but we did start dating at a young age. This has been the best time in my life, and I can't imagine being with anyone one else. I've been preparing to see the rest of my life out with her. <br><br>I thought we were happy together. We have had a few fights here and there, but I assume that’s normal. I love her.<br><br>A few months ago, my girlfriend came to me and told me she was pregnant. She began to explain the symptoms she had- nausea, her breasts were going to be sore and so on. I was so excited to begin a new journey with her. I began reading up on the topic, friends and family were excited, it was a whirlwind of crazy emotions. We went to the doctor and they confirmed that she was pregnant. <br><br>She held my hand through the whole thing, I think I was more nervous than she was. I feel that way whenever she's scared, but it was different this time because I knew that this was a big moment in our lives and I wanted her to feel safe. <br><br>They told us they would plan another appointment in a few months. <br><br>It was such an amazing day. We were so excited. We made plans for our future. We thought about moving into a bigger house. We thought about saving money for our child. We thought about the days that our little one was going to grow up with. It was so amazing, and I was so excited.<br><br>This week, we went back to the doctor. We were told it was going to be around 3 months since she became pregnant. The doctor began talking to us about making sure she was eating well, exploring different options for labour, some of the names we were thinking of, how our families reacted to hearing the news, stuff like that. I remember at the time thinking it felt like a long list of things, but I wanted to make sure I remembered. I know this is a big deal, and I don't want to mess up. <br><br>After we were done talking, the doctor asked my girlfriend to come through and have an ultrasound done. I sat, and waited. <br><br>Then, the doctor came out. Alone. He told me to come through. I thought she had done something wrong, so I went to see what had happened. <br><br>I asked, and he told me to sit down. I came closer, and moved the chair. <br><br>“Is she okay?” I asked. I was worried and felt scared. <br><br>“She's fine. But there’s something you should know” he said. <br><br>I didn’t know what was going on, but I could feel my stomach churning. <br><br>“Your girlfriend is only about 6 weeks pregnant.” He said. <br><br>“But isn’t that weird?” I asked. We knew she was already about 3 months pregnant. <br><br>“No” he said. He told me to sit down, but I just stared at him. <br><br>“Is she okay?” I asked. My voice began to shake. <br><br>“Yes, she’s okay. She’s just not pregnant for as long as you think. Let me explain. Now, I want you to understand that this is just my job. I need to tell you this. Okay?” He said. <br><br>“Okay” <br><br>“Well, your girlfriend isn’t pregnant for as long as she told you.” He said. <br><br>I was shaking. I couldn’t believe this. <br><br>“Is she okay?” I asked. I didn’t know what else to say. <br><br>“Look, I’m sorry. But there’s something you need to see. A picture of your girlfriend when she was 6 weeks pregnant will be in your email. Now, I have to tell you. This isn’t my job, but I think you need to know. Your girlfriend has been cheating on you for some time. You need to watch yourself” <br><br>Then, he stood up and left. <br><br>I was so confused. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about going and talking to my girlfriend, but I didn't know what to say. I left, and when I got home, she was waiting for me. She asked me what was wrong. I told her everything. <br><br>I told her I was devastated. I had no idea, and I didn’t know what to do. I asked her if it was true. She broke down and cried, and told me it was. <br><br>I didn’t know what to say. She told me she was sorry, and I just walked out the door. <br><br>I’m writing this from my sisters house. I don’t know where to go from here. I am in so much pain. I feel like I have lost the love of my life. I don’t know what to do. <br><br>I need some help, and I don’t know where else to turn. I am so devastated.
