2023 definitely started off on a bad note for this couple! Despite zero evidence or reason to suspect anything, this new dad demanded that his girlfriend take a paternity test out of the blue. Mind you, their baby is already a few months old and the couple had been together for three years.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit, and in her post, the Redditor reveals that although she has agreed to take the paternity test because she doesn't have anything to hide, she is already making plans to leave this guy as soon as he gets the results back. According to folks in the comments section, it's very possible that this dude has been cheated on before and is traumatized, or perhaps he is looking for a desperate way out of fatherhood. Regardless, it may be a New Year, but the always-relevant solution of "Some guys should just go to therapy instead of destroying everything" still applies. Keep scrolling below for the full story.
