The original poster (OP) is caught between loving his girlfriend and the child, and his firm boundary regarding financial responsibility, which was initially agreed upon but has now caused significant stress for his partner.
The central conflict arises from the OP's refusal to financially support a child biologically not his, despite offering full participation in caregiving, leading his girlfriend to feel abandoned in her financial needs when the biological father proved unreliable.
Is the OP justified in strictly adhering to the initial agreement, prioritizing his financial autonomy while supporting the child through labor, or should love and commitment to the partner supersede this boundary, requiring him to a*sume full financial responsibility for the child despite the existence of a biological father?
