Father’s Middle Son Doesn’t Look Enough like Him So He Does a DNA Test on the Boy

A 12-year marriage ended when the husband requested a paternity test for their middle child, thinking their features were different.

His wife was not amused by the request and is now thinking of getting a divorce. A husband might have ruined twelve years of marriage by asking his wife for a paternity test.

The 37-year-old man used Reddit as a platform to clarify his doubts about his relationship with his middle son.

He explained, “We have three kids and I always had this nagging feeling that our middle child wasn’t mine. Our oldest and youngest look just like me, but my middle child doesn’t.”

The husband was even more motivated to request a paternity test because he knew that cheating was a deal-breaker for his wife. The 35-year-old was insulted by the request because of this.If she had nothing to conceal, her spouse said, there shouldn’t be any issues. His wife’s outburst caused him to become even more suspicious, so he continued the test and found out that the son was indeed his. The husband assumed the situation was resolved after receiving the results, but his wife began to doubt their marriage’s viability.

His marriage suffered as a result of his request for a paternity test. His wife felt that her husband did not trust her, which was why she was still very angry with him. Not to mention that because he didn’t have his features, he caused their son to wonder where he fit into the family.

The husband made an effort to persuade his wife of his viewpoint, but she was unwilling to accept the fact that he believed she would cheat and that his pride was willing to put his family in danger.

Consequently, the 35-year-old brought up the possibility of divorcing, which was not how the husband had anticipated things would work out for him. The 37-year-old was hoping some Reddit users could help him think of ways to get his wife to talk to him again after they had not spoken since the incident.

Did the Couple Decide to Stay Together?

The 37-year-old returned with an update a few months after sharing his story on Reddit, stating that his wife had at last agreed to have a conversation with him.Her assessment of the circumstances had not entirely changed, though. The wife was still unable to forgive her husband for his lack of trust in her and the harm he had done to their son.
