I’ll start off by saying I have no issue supporting a child that is mine, I already pay child support for my two kids, but hear me out. I’ll try to keep it short, but there is a backstory for context.

I was in a relationship with this girl for a year. This girl happened to be married to her sugar daddy, who has a 7-figure income, which I found out pretty early on but I just rolled with it because there was nothing physical between them. Over the course of that year I was manipulated countless times, every single time we got in an argument she convinced me that I was the problem and that she was giving me another chance. And every time we got into an argument it was worse than the last, because I could see that she was manipulating everything into her being a victim, but she had this charm to her that convinced me that I did something wrong. Arguments became fights, usually because when I would try to remove myself from the situation she would physically not allow me to leave. The most I would do is push her out of the way, but not before she would physically put her hands on me to stop me from walking out the door.

One of these fights escalated to the point of her throwing things at me, which pissed me off, so in a show of force and adrenaline I bent one of the bars on her bed. I pushed past her to gather my things and leave. While I did this she went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and said something along the lines of, “do you really want to fuck with me right now??” I was just trying to remove myself from this whole situation, probably the whole relationship. Anyway while I was grabbing my belongings she ended up stabbing me in the hand, so I pushed her out of my way and went through the door. She had a gate that opens/closes electronically, I pressed the button to open it and went to my car while she ran past me and pressed the button again to close it. I pushed her into the grass and forced the gate open, breaking the mechanism that allowed it to close. Then, I called the cops to press charges on her and they arrested her, where she was bonded out the next morning.

And she STILL managed to convince me that this was my fault. Every time that happened I sucked it up and apologized. So we were together once again. A few months later she was at my mom and I’s house and we got in an argument. I said whatever, I’m going to sleep and wanted to leave it at that. So it got physical again, she spat in my ear while I was trying to sleep, so I just swung out and slapped to get her away from me. This time I was telling HER to leave, and she wouldn’t. Cops were called to get her out of my house, and I got arrested because I slapped her. These charges did not hold up and I was acquitted of everything.

She once again managed to convince me that it was my fault. Got me to apologize, but I finally saw through this shit and broke up with her. Now she is claiming that she’s pregnant. I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not, my mind has never been fucked with this bad.

All of this to say, AITA for thinking that I shouldn’t have to support a child that may or may not exist while the one who would be the primary caretaker, who abused the shit out of my mind, is rich? Bonus question: AITA for not wanting anything to do with this person, and by proxy this child?

TLDR: Girl with more money than I can count mentally and physically abuses me, claims pregnancy after breakup and wants me to pay her. AITA for thinking I shouldn’t have to?
