Does this actually ever happen in real life??

Do people actually really trick partners/wives/husbands etc into pregnancy for marriage or other reasons?! And if so how? I can see how it works as a woman if you’re on the pill and you miss it, but you’ve got to be exact with timing surely?! And how could a man do this if the woman is using her own protection?

Just overheard a group of girls in a cafe saying that coming off the pill would ‘get him down the aisle’ !! Amazed?!!? Or maybe I’m old and past it now!

There was a woman in Germany convicted on "stealthing"... she admitted to piercing condoms I believe.

Surely you just miss all of the pills? No need for any exact timing?

I wouldn't think it would haveva great success rate in the modern world. Might have worked in the 60s and before.

My friend did it just over 20 years ago he would force her to take the pill daily she would hide it and spit it out after why he never bothered to use condoms is anyones guess she made it clear she wanted a baby he made it clear he didn't they had a baby and a couple more I believe they were miserable for years but stayed together he cheated she accepted it just so she kept her man

So it does happen but its grim when it does

My friend's boyfriend pierced holes in the condoms to try and her her pregnant. He was coercively controlling. Horrible man.

Yep, know someone who just stopped taking the pill but pretended she was still on it.
Partner found out (not sure how) and he left her
