HelpNeeded: Pregnant Girlfriend Pulled Loaded Gun – What Should I Do?
Hey there, I recently found myself in a scary situation and I could really use some advice. Let me share my story with you and hopefully, you can help me figure out what to do next.
The Unexpected Turn of Events
So, I had just gone out to grab some groceries after a nice shower with my girlfriend. Little did I know, things were about to take a dark turn. I received a call from her, which was odd because I hadn’t been gone for too long. She insisted on talking to me immediately, so I hurried home with the groceries in hand.
As soon as I walked in, she grabbed my arm and pushed me into the kitchen, demanding me to put the groceries away quickly. I was taken aback by her sudden behavior. She then started yelling at me to sit down and have a serious talk. Feeling a bit scared, I hesitated but eventually complied, hoping things wouldn’t get out of hand.
The Terrifying Moment
To my shock, she appeared from around the corner with my own pistol that I normally keep on the nightstand. She had my iPad with her, showing some chats that she seemed upset about. She started waving the gun in my face and pointing it at my chest, demanding the truth. I was terrified for my life, begging her to put the gun away. I could see her finger on the trigger, and I knew things could go terribly wrong in an instant.
After a lot of convincing and sharing the truth she wanted to know, it came to light that I had expressed my feelings of no longer loving her and wanting to work on our relationship. However, she had been dismissive and shut me down each time. I felt like I couldn’t communicate with her without feeling belittled.
The Dilemma
Now here’s the kicker – she’s two months pregnant, and we share responsibilities like a dog and a sofa. I’m torn between feeling like I still love her and being scared for my safety after the gun incident. The moment when the gun cocked back and a bullet dropped to the ground left me paralyzed with fear.
I know cheating is wrong, but I felt trapped and unheard in the relationship. I can’t shake off the fear of what could have happened with the gun incident.
What Should I Do?
I’m at a complete loss here, and I need honest advice on what steps to take next. Should I stay in this relationship? How can I ensure my safety and the safety of everyone involved?
I appreciate any insights or recommendations you might have. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and offer your perspective. 🙏
Go make a police report immediately so it’s on file in case she goes more crazy and for custody reasons.
Get rid of your firearms, get them out of your place.
What are your options for fleeing this relationship? What is your living situation? Make a plan. Be ready to run.
**Nothing you did makes you deserve having a loaded gun pointed at you.**
File a police report, get a paternity test, go for full custody of the kid and the animals. And don’t use a deadly weapon to play with your cat or leave it anywhere but a locked safe, that’s just fucking dumb.
Go to the cops and report this immediately, this is a serious situation and nothing you did warrants a loaded gun being pointed at you. Get a paternity test when the kid is born but in the mean time get as far away from her as you can, leave the animals and the sofa if you need to they’re not worth risking your life. Immediately secure all firearms that you own, get them all on your person or, if that’s not possible, at least make sure they’re away from her.
Dude. RUN. She literally just threatened your life.
Yes cheating is wrong. What she did is a felony and you should be pressing charges.
If you stay she may well kill you.
You need to plan a way to get out safely – check out the resources at [thehotline.org](https://thehotline.org). It’s the National Domestic Violence Hotline (yes, men are dv victims). In the meantime, lock up your firearms in a place she does not have access to.
I am sorry, OP. I can’t imagine the terror you must have felt.
This has to be a troll post, there’s no fucking way.
Why are you leaving loaded guns on the night stand? Why are you using the laser sight on your handgun to play with your cat? Why are you staying with a girl who makes you so miserable you can’t wait for her to leave? Why are you not dumping someone who threatened you with a loaded weapon?
Grab your pets and leave. File a police report on your way out. That was one twitch away from you dying. She had her finger on the trigger. I’m not even a gun owner and I know you never touch the trigger unless you intend to shoot. In future buy a laser pointer and play with that with your cat. You could have killed your cat.
You’re an ass for cheating on a very hormonal pregnant women. But her pulling a gun on you is too far. Break up and leave. And take the fucking gun away.
I’m going against the grain here and think you should stay and update us through all the stages of your relationship. Tell us when she hits you over the head with a hammer. Tell us when she gives birth and you find the baby to be of a different ethnicity. Tell us when she convinces you that it’s yours and you sign the birth certificate. Tell us when she leaves for a ‘break’ and leaves you with the kid for 3 months. Tell us when she comes back with a sob story and you take her back.
Tell us when she shoots you and.. Oh wait you’ll be dead.
Well at least the sex was good while it lasted right??
/s
It is your duty as an US citizen to file her for felony before leaving her to save your life.
Gun violence is not a joke, please put that thing away! It kills more people in the US every year than the Ukranian/Russia and Israel/Palestine war COMBINED.
Don’t play with the odds here, you will not survive this.
This is why it’s stupid to keep a loaded gun on your fucking nightstand. You’re three times more likely to die from your own gun than to ever use it for self defense. And yes, obviously leave this psycho, how are you even asking.
Jesus. “I cheated on her and she stuck a loaded gun in my face, but we went twosies on a dog and sofa, so…”
You do realize Bert Kreishner is a professional comedian, and no one should mimic what he says on stage.
Playing with your cat with a gun is fucking stupid. You are nowhere ready to own a firearm.
This is why you always lock your shit up.
“My girlfriend pulled a gun on me, should I stay?”
Bruh
Even at 21 it should be obvious on what you should do
(Also you’re a cheating AH and need to stay far away from women in general just because of that)
* file a police report and get a restraining order
* take the dog and your guns and go
* get a paternity test and either take the kid or get it taken by DCF, because clearly she shouldn’t be responsible for anyone’s life
* get out ASAP and make sure she doesn’t know where you are
* block her on social media and make sure people know what she did so there is no surprises if it escalates
I keep my gun on my night stand…. in a small pass code protected safe… have some common sense man.
Yeah, she’s a keeper
This is all a huge NOPE.
I’d leave you both in a second.
You cheated on your pregnant hormonal wife and been lying about it….. What did you expect?
Still not ok, def get rid of the gun and maybe her. But hope you take some accountability here regardless of how insane this situation is
Man get the hell outta there!!
Leave or send her to her parents. The 2 of you should not be together.
If you can’t figure out if you should stay with someone who threatened your life, you absolutely should not own a firearm. You’re going to be another statistic of untrained, irresponsible, unsafe gun owners who get killed with their own weapon.
If she is this unstable, and you’ve obviously known this for awhile, you are completely negligent of having a gun in the house with her period.
Get rid of the gun and the gf. You’re not responsible or knowledgeable to own a gun and you’re not equipped or professionally qualified to help your abuser. Is this literally the hill you’re willing to die on?
You found out the hard way you’re living with a complete psycho!
I can definitely see why she’d be mad but pulling a gun on you is off the charts!
Sounds like your very lucky to be alive right now
Given this and the fact that you clearly don’t love her and are cheating, why are you still there?
There’s also a huge lack of maturity going on here.
Do this innocent baby a favor and get out of this toxic relationship and support your child when it’s born.
As a fellow Texan, I’m going to add that you don’t have any business owning a gun. You don’t use a weapon to play with your fucking animals, loaded or not.
Secondly, sack the fuck up and get out of this relationship. I have zero doubt that this unhinged motherfucker will kill you one day.
I didnt read your story, but yes if your partner aims a loaded gun at you, you leave.
And press charges.
