Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all love a story about a couple on the brink of divorce. The idiosyncrasies of their marriage fascinate us to no end. These days, there's been a recent and large amount of talk regarding paternity tests. Men are suddenly finding out that who they thought was their birth child is actually not theirs. Women have kept their secrets, but with social media, their secrets could be exposed. 

To be fair, it's an awful and destructive shock to have your world thrown upside down, realizing that you've been raising someone else's kid, and that your wife has lied to you about it. But on the other hand, you've come this far with her and the trust is there. Why throw it away out of paranoia? Let the juiciness unfold in this dramatic tale of a skeptical father and his family.

    My dad spends a lot of time in social media and recently he has been talking about how frequent paternity fraud has become and this kind of bs.

    A while ago he told me(F16) that he wants a paternity test because he thinks that I might not be his child. He asked me to keep this between us and not tell my mom anything in case he was wrong.

    To be clear between all of my siblings I am the only one who doesn't look like him which is why he only wanted to test me.

    I told him that he is a moron because my mom is just not the kind of person who cheats. She has devoted her life to her family and I don't even remember the last time she went somewhere without us so unless she is sneaking out at night when

    everyone is asleep I don't see how she could cheat but my dad insisted and said if I don't do this he won't support me when I go to college.

    I said fine I'll take the test but it's none of his business whether or not I tell my mom.

    The test result came 2 days ago and to our surprise (/s) I am his child. He told me that he is glad we did this so that he could be sure and not have doubts anymore, I told him to fck off.

    Of course I went and told my mom about the test and now she wants a divorce. She basically kicked my dad out. I'm not sure and don't care enough to know where he is staying. Today he called me and said I'm an for ruining their marriage and asked whether I'm happy with

    what I've done and how I'm the reason my little siblings are going to be raised in a broken home. I told him I'm don't really give a sht and hung up.

    should have with a parent. But the implied disbelief about your mothers suspected infidelity takes the cake: Of course she kicked him out! He does not deserve to stay in a loving relationship, when he has so severe doubts about your

    I didn't ruin your marriage. You did by sneaking around behind your wife's back and doing something that is tantamount to accusing her of cheating despite zero evidence. Your inability to simply communicate with mom is what ruined the

    He made his bed all by himself, now he can lay it all by himself. He accused your mother of infidelity, and he made you question his feelings for you.
