Someone has discovered what happened next to distracted boyfriend meme's poor girlfriend

It doesn't end well

Someone has discovered what happened next to distracted boyfriend meme's poor girlfriend
21 November 2017

We’ve all seen it - the face that launched a thousand memes, the “distracted boyfriend”. You’ve almost certainly seen it, but if not a few examples:

The basic premise: a man, walking down the street with his girlfriend, is distracted by another attractive woman. Girlfriend is annoyed, the end.

OR IS IT? Apparently not. 

Not according to Twitter user Andrew J Abernathy‏, who recently unearthed a bunch more photos of the pair and put together a story of what really happened next.

First off: distracted boyfriend’s girlfriend struggles with her homework. 

So far, so banal. But wait - looks like they’re investing in something together. 

AND……SHE’S PREGNANT. 

Things don’t stay so rosy forever: looks like he’s gone and she’s left holding the baby. Typical. 

And weirdly, it turns out, a man who cranes his neck like a literal owl to look at women on the street is not very faithful to his girlfriend. 

Don’t worry, though: it all worked out in the end. For her, anyway…
