She And Her Husband Got A Paternity Test Two Days After Their Son Was Born To Satisfy Their Prenup, But Once She Told Her Husband’s Family During A Dinner, It Made Things Super Awkward
I never realized that some couples choose to get quite creative with their pre-marital agreements and plans. Whether you want to get a prenup or not, you and your partner can set a wide variety of rules and agreements in place before tying the knot.
One woman and her husband decided that she’d have to get a paternity test after giving birth to their baby, and when they revealed this information to his family, they were shocked.
She’s 26 and had a baby boy with her 34-year-old husband, Devin, two months ago.
“My husband and I have a prenup that dictates that I am to receive a gift upon the birth of a child that is biologically ours,” she said.
“[It’s] called a bump gift. It may seem a bit silly, but a lot of his work friends also have this clause. To keep the legitimacy of the clause, a paternity test [must be done] before it takes effect. My husband works in stock trading and makes very good money, so I can afford to stay at home, although I work remotely as a marketing and data analyst.
Because of the prenup, as soon as our son was born, Devin and I went for a paternity test; it was positive as I never cheated and never would.”
For her bump gift, Devin got her a two-year subscription to one of her favorite services, a book subscription box with her favorite genres. It’s a service she had to stop using because it was too expensive, so she was thrilled, and everything worked out as planned.
A few nights ago, she and Devin had dinner at his parents’ house, and his 30-year-old sister, Erika, and her family joined them.
“They just had a baby three months ago, though Erika has a history of infidelity, and her husband has struggled with accepting paternity,” she explained.

“I mentioned how cute her daughter was and told her how glad I was that we all had babies so close in age.”
“Her husband snapped and mentioned that he should get a paternity test because he was sure the baby was Erika’s but unsure if the baby was his.”
Erika then went on a tangent about how no one “in their right mind” would get a paternity test with their spouse.
When she casually mentioned she and Devin had one done, Erika panicked and judged her for acting as if it was no big deal.
The rest of the dinner was very awkward, and things have been tense with Devin’s family ever since.
Was it impolite of her to mention the paternity test, or did Erika overreact?
