Throwaway for obvious reasons. I am spinning right now. My boyfriend Joel and I have been together for 3 years. In that time I've gotten to know most of his friends, one being Lindsay. Here's what I knew about their relationship before last night: They were close friends before Joel and I met but had slowed down the one on one interactions after we started dating and now he only ever sees her in a group setting or the three of us. She's fine, but I always got the sense she liked him and was a little more than appropriately close to him, but Joel swore up and down nothing remotely flirty had ever happened. And I knew that Lindsay had gotten pregnant but had an abortion about 4 years ago (before Joel and I met).
So that's what I thought up until last night, when a mutual friend of Joel and Lindsay blurted it out to me. I could tell immediately from her face that she thought I knew, she looked like she was going to throw up she felt so bad. So did I though. I called Joel immediately and asked him point blank if it was true; was he the father of the baby Lindsay had aborted. He was silent for a moment but then quietly said yes. I told him I wasn't coming home. I went to my parents and I've been here since. I shut off my phone, I have no idea if he's tried calling. I have no idea what to do.
I love this man. I thought we would get married and have a family, I thought this was my end game. And now I have no idea. I feel so betrayed at being lied to this entire time. I thought I'd cool down after a night and day but I am still furious and really have no idea what to say to him. Reddit, help.
TLDR; I just found out that my boyfriend got a friend pregnant, whom he swore he had never even remotely flirted with. What do I do?
