"Karl" and I met a few days after he had broken up with his girlfriend, "Liza." My brother introduced us. I was leery at first. I had heard Liza was pregnant with Karl's child, but he told me it was over between them. I guess Karl said all the right things because we immediately hooked up and our relationship got serious fast.
A week later, Liza called Karl to "discuss the baby." At that point, Karl and I were living together. He went to see her and didn't return until morning. Liza called me in the middle of the night, announced that she and Karl were back together, and told me that I had to move out. Since there wasn't time to find a new apartment, I moved into the guest room.
Surprisingly, we have all been getting along really well, but there is something that I haven't told them -- I am also pregnant with Karl's child.
I really don't know what to do. Karl has two kids on the way and they are less than a month apart. Please help.

DEAR HOPELESS:
The first thing you must do is consult a lawyer and discuss establishing paternity and child support for your child. Although the three of you are getting along now, there is no guarantee that it will continue when there are five of you. Bear in mind that Liza, not Karl, was the person who told you to move out. It's unlikely that Karl is ever going to give you an exclusive commitment.
You met some bonehead a few days after he broke up with his booty call, and moved in with him in less than a week? Unless you were living in a cardboard box under a bridge, don't you think that was rushing it just a bit? At least let the body cool off before you bury it.
Granted, there is plenty of stupidity here to go around. Have NONE of you ever heard of birth control? I don't think the combined IQ of the three of you would reach room temperature. Karl thinks with his gonads and has the spine of a jellyfish, while the two women involved here are no better, except they will be saddled with kids when Karl moves off to pastures anew.
Sunshine, hie thee to an abortion clinic, NOW. Then move out. Period. Full Stop.
And get your tubes tied while you are at it.
There is nothing else more to say here. Really there isn't. There just isn't.
