He Secretly Paternity Tested His Two Kids Because He Had A Feeling His Wife’s Ex-Boyfriend Might Be Their Father
This 35-year-old man and his wife, who’s 34, have been married for 10 years, and they have two kids together – a 7-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son.
But, while everything was wonderful in their relationship, he began to question his wife’s faithfulness after his son received a very specific medical diagnosis.
More specifically, his son developed a rare genetic condition, and he found out that neither he nor his wife carried it.
“It planted this seed of doubt in my mind because, for years, my wife stayed close friends with her ex-boyfriend, who she dated for four years before me,” he explained.
The pair would regularly text each other, grab coffee, and even attend events together. Throughout it all, his wife kept reassuring him that their friendship was purely platonic, but he always had a gut feeling more was going on.
That’s why, when his son’s genetic condition came to light recently, he began thinking about all the times his wife claimed her ex-boyfriend was “like family” to her.
“And I let my paranoia get the best of me,” he admitted.
He ended up secretly taking paternity tests for both of their children, and he was genuinely convinced he might not be their father.
Well, his hunch was actually wrong, and both tests came back positive – confirming they were his biological kids.

This should have made him feel relieved, right? On the contrary, his wife eventually found out about what he’d done, and she was heartbroken.
“Saying I’ve destroyed her trust, especially since she’d been nothing but faithful,” he detailed.
His wife has been livid at him and believes he never actually trusted her over the past decade. Plus, she stated that she didn’t know if she could even stay with someone who doubted her loyalty so strongly.
“I thought I was just being cautious because of her close relationship with her ex, but now I’m wondering if I went too far,” he vented.
This has left him questioning if taking the paternity tests behind his wife’s back was really such a crazy thing to do.
Can you understand why he had suspicions about his wife’s friendship with her ex? Or should he have had more trust in her?
