The tests shockingly revealed that the Redditor’s husband was the biological father of the twin boys! She responded to the news by kicking him out and divorcing him. The poster and her father leaned on each other for support, with him talking to her about selling the grandparents’ house that had terrible memories.
He planned on giving her money from the sale so she could buy herself a new home.The Reddit user’s husband and mother would get nothing from the sale. Her ex-husband was now a father of seven children. She took half of his business, seeing as she’d helped set it up and had been the office manager while taking a break from her career.
The heartbreaking thing for her was losing contact with some family members. Her minor children don’t know why she divorced, but her 14-year-old daughter knew and chose to cut contact with her father. The man’s ex-husband eventually confessed that he started the affair with his mother-in-law after the poster once made him angry.
He reached out to his mother-in-law for comfort, and that’s how they started an intimate relationship. The Redditor’s ex admitted that he would’ve divorced her, but it was more beneficial for him to remain in their relationship. Paternity Test Vindicates Woman Shunned by Husband’s Family A 24-year-old Reddit user contacted other users with a story about her family.
The OP revealed that she had three sons who looked exactly like their father, but when their daughter was born, she looked nothing like him. She arrived with pale skin and platinum blonde hair; her eye color was green and different from the rest. During her pregnancy with their daughter, OP had built a close relationship with an older male co-worker.
The colleague was extra friendly to her and another female co-worker.Her co-worker would bring her and the other woman coffee in the mornings, and sometimes, he left flowers on their desks. She didn’t think much about his behavior because he was happily married and always spoke fondly about his family, plus he never made any advances. Despite the true nature of their relationship, OP’s husband was uncomfortable with it and wanted her to cut ties with him, but she refused.
The couple fought about it, but it eventually seemed to fade away. However, when their daughter was born, the husband’s anger reappeared.The little girl was born sporting the same eye color and skin tone as her mother’s older male co-worker. The woman’s husband couldn’t bear to hold the little girl when she was born.
He demanded a paternity test, which his wife refused to do because she thought it was humiliating and unnecessary. She tried to convince him that their child looked exactly like her great-grandparents, but he wasn’t having it and was more focused on finding out if she’d cheated on him. Not only did she have to deal with him, but his family made things worse with their involvement.Her parents-in-law even turned their backs on her, and her husband refused to assist in taking care of their daughter.
OP was hurt by him not being the same way he was when they welcomed their sons. When her son had his birthday, everyone avoided talking to her, and that’s when she decided to get the test. During the event, her mother-in-law excluded the little girl from a photo of her grandchildren.
However, OP had the last laugh when the DNA test came out, proving her husband was their daughter’s father. Everyone in the family felt terrible and apologized for how they treated her. OP’s husband finally carried his daughter for the first time and cried in the moment.
He also apologized profusely to his wife and always cried whenever he held his baby girl. She forgave him because she felt he was being genuine in his remorse. However, she wanted nothing to do with his family and eventually gave her husband an ultimatum about them either relocating to her home country or divorcing.
When OP told him she was talking to divorce lawyers, he realized how serious she was and agreed to do anything she wanted to earn her forgiveness. Sadly, she didn’t want any contact with her husband’s family ever again because she didn’t want her children to receive the same treatment she had to endure. On top of that, she and her husband went to individual and couples therapy.
OP shared how things were going well between her and her husband and said she hoped they remained that way. The Reddit user isn’t the only woman whose husband demanded a paternity test due to resemblance issues; the following social media user also shared her story. Woman Threatens Divorce after Mother-in-Law Insists on DNA Test for Grandson In late 2023, a woman took to Reddit to share that she and her husband had been together for five years, with three of them being in marriage.
Her husband’s mother was quite overbearing and caused them tension. She often gave unsolicited opinions and behaved unduly, leaving his wife bothered, but she tried never to show it. OP believed being angry with him for actions out of his control was unjust.
The actions she referred to were how his mother spoke and the hurtful things she did. However, she didn’t like that he failed to stand up to his mother when his wife felt uncomfortable or upset with her intrusions.At one point, OP’s mother-in-law started questioning the paternity of her child. The parent had commented about the boy not looking like her son when he was a toddler.
The upset OP felt the woman was accusing her of sleeping around. The Reddit user vehemently denied the claims while being emotionally distressed by the situation, but her husband remained passive. He didn’t protect her from his mother’s accusations, and that lack of support created a gap in their relationship.
OP emotionally distanced herself from her husband as her frustration continued and her sense of being disrespected grew. One day, he casually announced that he was going to get a DNA test for their son to try and appease his mother, and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. His wife felt like his words were a slap to her face and an insult to her integrity, and that’s when she decided to stop enduring the toxicity.
OP got legal counsel and started looking for a new place to avoid the chaos. She was unshaken in her decisions and planned to present her divorce papers when the DNA test arrived in a few days. OP knew divorcing her husband wasn’t about her, but it was primarily an effort to shield her son.
The poster knew how hard things could be for her boy, seeing as she’d come from a childhood broken by the battles between her parents.She didn’t want him to endure the same life she had to. Luckily, OP also had a secure job that afforded her independence and stability. It was a place where she found solace amidst her stormy life.
Her job helped her to remain self-sufficient, leaving her thankful that she’d retained it after getting the option to leave after getting married. In an update, the Redditor revealed that she took matters into her own hands on the day the test was due by calling her father-in-law. She invited him and her mother-in-law to their home that evening.
Her husband was at home when he got the results that proved he was the boy’s father. He also vowed to confront his mother after acknowledging how she’d interfered in their marriage. He then sent the results to her and promised to confront his mother to resolve things.
However, during the phone call, she informed him about consulting an attorney and initiating divorce proceedings. The call disintegrated into a heated argument, with him defending his actions.He revealed he hadn’t expected her to act as she did, but she explained how his indifference to her feelings damaged their relationship. OP gave him the divorce papers despite refusing to sign them and left that night.
Although she’d left, her husband was still torn between being loyal to his parents or attending to his marriage that was falling apart. He asked his mother to apologize, but she refused and accused her son’s wife of tearing their family apart.Ultimately, OP and her husband were able to talk, and he asked if they could do couples counseling to try to save their relationship. He also asked if they could continue co-parenting.
The Reddit user revealed how her husband was determined not to lose his son, even if they divorced. He also vowed to confront his mother after acknowledging how she’d interfered in their marriage. OP was staying put for the time being and hoped counseling would help teach her husband how to prioritize their union.
