Personal insecurities don’t just affect your own confidence and mental health. They also have the ability to tank your relationships, particularly if you can’t allow yourself to trust the people you love the most.
One 28-year-old woman sadly knows this all too well. Her husband is actually so insecure about her being “out of his league” that, after she recently announced she was pregnant, he immediately accused her of having an affair and demanded a paternity test!
For some background, she and her husband, who’s 36, have never actively tried to start a family. At the same time, he’s always had some trust issues due to his friend’s snarky remarks.
Apparently, his friends frequently make jokes about how she’s out of his league and only with him for his money.
“I’ve never cheated or thought about cheating, so he has no reason not to trust me,” she noted.
She and her husband sleep together as well, and sometimes, they forget to use protection. That’s what led her to realize she was pregnant a few weeks ago.
But while she was actually extremely excited about her baby, her husband was furious when he found out and immediately thought she’d cheated.
She tried to point out how they frequently forget about using protection, and she underscored that she’d never be unfaithful. Regardless, her husband just didn’t buy it and insisted they get a paternity test done.
His disbelief deeply upset her, yet she agreed to the paternity test anyway. Still, even after the results came back yesterday and proved her husband was the father, he couldn’t accept it.

“When I handed them to him, he said that I must’ve had fake ones made,” she revealed.
Her husband actually wound up sleeping at his friend’s house because he firmly believes she cheated, and they haven’t spoken since. So now, she’s genuinely considering divorcing him.
“I understand that he has insecurities, everyone does, but he’s letting that totally take over our relationship,” she vented.
She truly thinks her husband is the most handsome man she knows, and she doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinions on their relationship. Plus, she has never betrayed her husband’s trust before.
“I’m really hurt that he thinks that little of me. I don’t know that I can raise a child with someone like that,” she admitted.
So, she’s seeking advice about whether divorcing her husband over his severe distrust would be the right move or not.
Can you imagine getting accused of faking a paternity test? Does it sound like her husband needs professional help to work through his trust issues? What should she do?
