A MAN has revealed that after trying his first drop of alcohol, he ended up getting his BOSS pregnant.
But the 27-year-old university educated man, who described himself as “healthy, fit and financially secure", explained that his world is now shattered, as he knows his religious mother will not approve.
The anonymous man explained that he lives at home with his strict mum, who is desperate for him to get married.
But after some flirty meetings with his boss and a boozy evening, things went to the next level, and she is now expecting a baby.
Keen to open up on the situation, the man took to social media to share all, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Reddit, on the r/self thread, the man wrote under the username @omaro34 and titled his post ‘I got my boss pregnant - Help!’

He then admitted: “I haven't slept properly in days. I can't eat. I can't drink. My anxiety is through the roof.
“My family doesn't know. I come from a very religious family. It's a long story but here goes.
“I'm single, never married. I've never been in a serious relationship before. I'm definitely religious, but not a virgin.”
The man then explained how things all started, as he shared: “This all began when I began working for the government within a department I won't mention due to privacy.
“I was there for a year, worked 40 hours a week, kept my head down, etc.
“Then around Jan 2019 my boss was leaving for another department. I applied for the position but didn't get the job. Instead, they hired a new girl from the private sector.”
The young man recognised that his new boss was only two years older than him, but they “couldn't be any different”.
He claimed: “She's white, tattooed, atheist. I'm Somali (black), Muslim, I introduced myself and she smiled at me.
“I tried to speak but I stuttered (I grew up with a stuttering problem but I outgrew it, however it comes back from time to time). I hurried back to my desk in embarrassment.
“The first few months were normal. It was a huge learning curve for her.
“A lot of people questioned the hire but she quickly proved people wrong. She was smart, quick thinker, witty, no filter (once you get to know her).
What started out as a favour
“That winter, I came out of the office one Friday afternoon and saw her car wasn't starting. It was super cold, and I gave her a boost.
“She was incredibly thankful and hugged me. I didn't think of it at all and went about my business.”
But what started as a kind gesture soon led to more, as he continued: “Every month I have our monthly one on one meetings to discuss my performance. At first it was business as usual.
Which generation is having the most sex?
A new report has lifted the lid on bedroom antics.
The research, conducted by experts at Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, revealed the average number of times people of different generations have sex per month.
- Gen Z - three times a month
- Millennials - five times a month
- Gen X - five times a month
- Boomers - three times a month
“But as the months wore on these meetings became more and more just as talking and catching up. She would ask me questions and we would chat about virtually anything.
“I also knew for a fact that she didn't do this for others. She was extremely professional with them. Again, my naive self didn't connect the dots. I know, stupid.
“Meanwhile, at home, my mother is a commanding presence. She's been pushing me to get married.”
He explained that he and his boss began to chat through MSN and Facebook, as he acknowledged: “Anyway, my boss would message me on the MSN chat that we have set up at work. It was just a casual conversation.
I've been sleeping with my boss for four months now, putting both of our careers in jeopardy, and I've gotten her pregnant - to a girl my mother would NEVER EVER accept

“One day when I was talking to her (I stutter and sometimes talk fast), I mentioned my brother, she misheard and thought I said my "brother in law".
“Her entire expression changed, as if it bothered her if I was married. When I clarified that she gave me a beamed smile. Her smile was very attractive to me.
“Then she added me on Facebook. We chatted some more. Just friendly things.
“I considered telling a coworker who I trust, but I figured I couldn't do it. Too much gossip and it just wasn't worth it.”
Pizza party progression
However, things then progressed further at a pizza party, as he confessed: “I never drank a sip of alcohol in my life up until that point. I felt a little hazed but since I had half a cup I was still perfectly ok.
“I realised it was only me and her walking out together. There was a cab right in front of the place and I got in.
“I thought she was walking me to my cab but she went in the cab too. She gave the driver the address. I was shocked. Stunned. Mystified.
“When she touched my leg and started messaging my thigh I couldn't control myself.

“We went back to her apartment and had sex. Incredible sex. It was mind blowing sex. And yes, I used protection.
“She was so attractive it was mind boggling. She taught me different positions I didn't think of before.
“I spent the night with her. The next morning I left and she kissed me goodbye. I left with regret because I went against my religion. But it didn't end there.
I don't love her. I care about her future and her well being, but I'm conflicted if she's the person I want something long term with
Reddit poster
“The next working day she walked by my desk and handed me a small piece of paper. It had her number on it. I texted her and we swapped all sorts of stuff to each other.
“Long story short, I spent a lot of time at her apartment for the next three-four months. At first, the thrill and excitement was amazing. But then I began to really like her.
“But I was torn. I love my family too. But there was no way in a million years my mother would ever accept her. Especially given that she's atheist.”
The real nightmare
But then his “nightmare really began”, as he revealed: “I got a text from her saying she wanted to discuss something.
“I honestly thought it was because she wanted to end things. Which hurt me, but I thought it was for the best.
“When we did meet, she started with ‘I didn't have my period this month’. It still didn't click for me. Then the following two words almost gave me a heart attack: ‘I'm pregnant’.
“My world shattered that instant. I thought to myself, ‘how?’. I've used protection every time I've been with her. But that didn't matter.
“Then it hit me what I've been doing. I've been sleeping with my boss for four months now, putting both of our careers in jeopardy, and I've gotten her pregnant - to a girl my mother would NEVER EVER accept. Not only that, but this is not how I wanted to have a child.
How about you man up and take responsibility for what you've done?

“But at the same time, I do like her. She's incredibly smart, attractive, fit, and really caring.
“She told me she is having the child whether I'm going to be involved or not. She told me she has feelings for me and is willing to try a relationship but not at this point in our careers at work.
“Abortion is out of the question anyway, it's against my values and beliefs.”
A big dilemma
Unsure of what to do, he divulged: “She told me I should tell my mother, but I don't have the stomach for it. I love my mother to death. I'd take a bullet for her anytime. But this would break her heart.
“She is incredibly religious and I know her. SHE WOULD NEVER ACCEPT THIS. I don't want to burden her more, she has already been through a lot.
What should I do? I'm ready to be a father, but not like this? My family will disown me
Reddit poster
“I like my girlfriend I guess you can call it, but I don't love her. I care about her future and her well being, but I'm conflicted if she's the person I want something long term with.
“What should I do? I'm ready to be a father, but not like this? My family will disown me. They wouldn't want to meet her. My community will shun me.
“I've never been depressed like this before. Any solid advice would be appreciated.”
Reddit users react
Reddit users were left gobsmacked by the man’s confession and quickly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on how he should proceed.
One person said: “Be a man and do what you want to do. Your mother and religion should not dictate who you are with. If she makes you happy then who cares?”

Another added: “You want advice? How about you man up and take responsibility for what you've done?”
A third commented: “That's a responsibility you'll have to live with now. I hope you'll be a sweet, loving father and won't put the same boundaries on your child as your parents did.”
