How do you break the news that the world is sphere-shaped to your father?

That's tough OP. Strange that you only found out recently and no most people already know that not just you and your boyfriend.

If this is pregnancy, first you have to go to your doctor and get it confirmed. How do you tell your father? Like an adult, you just tell him you need to tell him something and straight out say it, do not have your boyfriend there in that moment either, if your dad is going to be angry then that's a bad idea.

OP if you think you're old enough to have sex without protection then you're old enough to deal with the consequences, so be a woman and just tell him.

OP there is no nice way of doing this, there is absolutely no way of doing it to make him less shocked or less angry initially but he's your dad and that anger will pass very quickly once he realizes what's done is done and it's time to figure out what to do next.

OP if you're going to be a mother then the very first responsibility to that child is to be responsible, so just get off your computer, suck it up and go tell him. You need to do it soon, so he can calm down and can give MTV a call so you can be on their show.

The Realist agony auntThis sounds like a pregnancy question to me although it doesn't mention it anywhere. Why not invite your bf to have dinner with you and your parents. That generally shows that he is more then a friend. Then just bring him around more and more and your dad will get the point without actually having to be told.

If this by chance is a pregnancy question then I would say just blurt it out to him when you are not in a rushed situation.
