Her Husband Asked For A Paternity Test, And Their Marriage Has Never Been The Same Since
This 24-year-old girl and her 31-year-old husband have three children together. Their two sons look like carbon copies of her husband and have dark eyes, hair, and skin.
Their daughter, however, looks like her great-grandparents, and she has green eyes, blonde hair, and very pale skin.
Her husband did not believe her when she explained where their daughter got her looks from, and he demanded a paternity test as soon as he laid eyes on her.
Initially, she declined to go through with a paternity test as she felt humiliated. She also did not see the point in getting one since she has never before cheated on her husband and figured he would trust that.
For the first two months after they welcomed their daughter into the world, her husband made her life a living nightmare.
“He didn’t want to hold her even if she cried desperately while I was doing something else, he never woke up at night to help me with her; he never helped me with anything, and that hurt me so much because with our boys he was completely different,” she explained.
“He helped me all the time with absolutely everything, and he was always there for me after giving birth, but this time, he left me alone, and it was the worst experience of my life.”
“I have no family here, and his entire family, from the moment they saw my daughter, turned their backs on me, I don’t have any friends here either, so it was just my daughter and me. She is a colicky baby, so it was very difficult for me to do everything alone and, on top of that, help with our sons.”
She ended up changing her mind regarding the paternity test when her in-laws came to their home to celebrate her son’s birthday.

Not a single member of her husband’s family spoke to her that day, and they also excluded her daughter from the photos her in-laws snapped of all the grandchildren together.
She knew her husband’s family would forever think she cheated on him, so she decided to get the paternity test to prove them all wrong.
“Well, the paternity test came back positive, and everyone was shocked, and of course, they felt guilty for not having believed in me,” she said.
“Everyone apologized, and my husband even cried when he held our daughter in his arms for the first time and I know that his apologies were genuine and that’s why I forgave him but I don’t know if I can forgive his family.”
“They treated me really badly and said horrible things about me just a few days after giving birth, and I can’t forget their insults or violence.”
Her husband turned around and told his family that she no longer wants them in her life, so for the past three months, she has not had to interact with them at all. She thought this would feel good, but it doesn’t. On top of that, her husband says sorry to her nonstop and cries every single time he picks their daughter up and holds her.
She’s getting exhausted from all of this, and she wishes they could go back to being the happy family they were before the drama over her daughter. Their marriage has simply never been the same since this all unfolded, and she’s not sure how she and her husband can move on and put this behind them.
Her husband has recommended they begin couples therapy, but she’s failing to see how that will fix things.
What advice do you have for her, and do you think therapy is a good start?
