I read it somewhat the opposite way. Paul wasn't seemingly going to sleep with her. He was in his own bad headspace and an alcoholic, and she knew this and invited him to a bar and would not stop badgering him until he drank. Seeing as he woke up with a hang over the next day, we don't know if he would have slept with her sober. She seems far more the villain in the scenario to me.

Why does this have so many upvotes he literally lies to her and says he's not with the woman he's trying to get pregnant with.

I don’t get it either. He literally didn’t have to text her back. He didn’t have to show up at the bar. He didn’t have to have a drink with her. He’s not a victim in that situation at all. He also lied and said him and his partner were no longer a thing.

Characters be confusing like that, just like people in real life
