My Eldest Son Is Quite Different from My Other 2 Kids, So I Did a DNA Test on Him

After years of marriage, a man took his friend’s joke seriously and decided to get his child’s DNA tested. He hoped it would be nothing, but the reality horrified him.

The 34-year-old man already had brewing doubts about the paternity of one of his children. He recently decided to get the child’s DNA tested without telling his wife to put his doubts to rest.

In a long post, Redditor Imdyinginside- took to the platform to reveal his findings, share his feelings and thoughts, and ask for advice about his next steps.

The Original Poster (OP) had been with his wife since they were 20 years old. He said he always thought they had a great relationship, even though it wasn’t perfect.
They had the occasional fight and disagreement like most normal couples but always got through it. They eventually became parents to three children, two boys and a girl.

The OP said his eldest son, who is six years old, is antisocial and looks nothing like OP or the other children. He is also fond of being a nuisance and is always breaking things.
These traits sparked some suspicion in OP, but he banished the thoughts until one of his friends made a joke about “the milkman.” He initially laughed it off.

However, he couldn’t shake off the feeling for some reason and eventually decided to get his son’s DNA tested. He felt terrible for not trusting his wife, but the nagging feeling wouldn’t go away.

He felt more guilty about putting only one child through the test, so he decided to all of his kids so he wouldn’t feel singled out. In the end, results proved that the boy he had felt wasn’t his child was, in fact, his.

Unfortunately for OP, there was a plot twist he didn’t expect. His daughter’s DNA results didn’t match his, and now he believes his wife must have known but decided not to tell him. The shocking news left OP hurt and horrified as he reminisced about the time before her birth.

OP was devastated as it hurt him to find out that the beautiful baby girl he had thought was his firstborn wasn’t his. He recalled how he stayed and cared for his wife when she was pregnant. He would kiss her belly and talk to a fetus he thought he had helped create.

OP was saddened by the idea that his wife may have been aware that the child wasn’t his yet she let him bond with his daughter and love her. He argued that his wife readily made him a fool and watched him do lots of cringeworthy things for a baby that wasn’t his.

Now, the OP feels like an idiot and is repulsed by the mere thoughts of his wife
