AITA for refusing to give my hookup more money for an abortion I’m not even sure is mine?

So, there’s this girl I used to sleep with earlier this year. We were casually seeing each other for about two months starting in February. Come April, she said she wanted a relationship. I told her, nicely, that I wasn’t in that headspace and didn’t want that. She said she understood but she kept bringing it up, and I was clear, that’s not me. Not rn anyways, used gpt to soften the blow each time too.

Another thing about her she used to ask for money a lot. Not huge amounts, just small amounts several times a week. It didn’t seem like much each time, but over time it adds up. I don’t make a lot of money (I freelance) and we’re both young, 22, just graduated uni, so it was starting to weigh on me, especially with motel and food expenses when we hung out.

Then in April, she blocked me out of nowhere. I figured she was trying to move on, so I didn’t chase it.

Months later(September), she texted again. Said she had a boyfriend now but wanted to start hooking up again “if I was cool with it.” I honestly didn’t believe the boyfriend was real, thought she was just saying that to protect her ego, but I agreed.

We hooked up on September 21 and again on the 26th. I asked about the boyfriend, and she insisted he was real changed her mind then insisted again. A few days later, the money requests started again, but this time I resisted. A big fight resulted where she said it was “my duty” to provide for her because she was “opening her legs” for me and that I should feel lucky. That was my breaking point, huge fight for 2 days.

Two days later, October 6, she texted saying she wanted to hook up again. I went over, and she told me she was pregnant. Said she wasn’t going to tell me but changed her mind. I tried to stay calm and supportive, but I really didn’t believe her. Between her “boyfriend” and honestly she seems like the type to make shit up for money, it just didn’t add up.

Still, I didn’t want to be a jerk. She said it was still early and that she could take pills. I asked how much they cost. I don’t have much money right now, no gigs in months, and I have some health issues I’m paying through (I’ve deadass gone to hospital every week for 2months now, some shit with my eyes), but I told her I’d help.

I sent about 78% of the money and promised to make it up to 90%. Then she said she needed more for pads, painkillers, antibiotics and supplies. I told her I’d already sent all I could, about 65% of this new total, and asked if she could handle the rest.

That turned into another huge agument. She said I was being evil, difficult, unreasonable, and treating her like a robot. I told her I simply didn’t have the money. She sent me messages saying maybe when she has the baby I’ll “get the money,” that I have food while she doesn’t, and a bunch of guilt-tripping stuff, isn’t that a very weird thing to say???

At this point, I’m genuinely confused and frustrated. I don’t even know if the pregnancy is real, and if it is, I’m not sure it’s mine. But she’s saying all this stuff and honestly on one hand I want to believe her but I lowkey can feel an emotionally manipulative element to it. You were going to handle it without me before but now 40% is me being evil? Money I literally don’t have??

So Reddit, am I the asshole for refusing to send more money for something I’m not even sure is real?
