Any relationship worth having in our lives is built on a certain level of trust, and that is especially true when it comes to the serious commitment of marriage. Making this potentially lifelong legal commitment to someone should not be done unless you can wholeheartedly believe that this person has your best interests at heart. Anything less than that, and there are likely to be problems further down the line.

Nonetheless, this doesn't stop some spouses from having unfair suspicions about their partner, in particular when it comes to cheating. Of course, it makes sense to ask more questions if there appears to be valid proof that somebody is being unfaithful, but unless these notions are grounded in reality, such thoughts are simply asking for trouble. At its worst, throwing around accusations that your partner is seeing somebody else could prove the downfall of the relationship for no good reason.

  • This is exactly what happened to one man when he found himself consumed by worries after his wife became pregnant that he wasn't the father of the baby. After reading online about instances where this had happened, he insisted that she take a paternity test before the child was even born. 

    As it turned out, this was the final straw after a pattern of mistrustful behavior. This led his wife to decide to leave him at the same time that she took the test. When he shared his story, people had plenty to say about everything that had led up to the destruction of the relationship.

    I met my wife through a mutual friend. We were friends for a year or so before we both became single and decided we were compatible enough to date. We were together 2 years before we got married. I do not know what got into me. My wife is loyal, faithful, but I had been reading statistics about how many men are raising children that aren't their own and had absolutely no idea around the time she found out she was pregnant. We both wanted children, we weren't actively preventing it. About 3 month

    Here is why she "went nuclear" as a lot of people said. As much as this hurt, I needed to hear it: ⚫ I had trouble trusting her our whole relationship, despite the fact she had never cheated on me or any exes. She's caught me snooping through her phone/ e-mail/work laptop before, and because she deals with privileged information, she says I open her up to liabilities with her clients. No, I have never found anything incriminating. ⚫ She has never hidden anything except work related things becaus

    CHIMAMAKA BENAR... @Annaswthrt Replying to @BigBicNick The follow up messages are actually worse. He refused to pay for the paternity test, and he was cheating and actively dating other people while wanting his wife to come back

    Sophie @sophiebbx_ Replying to @BigBicNick Dating just because you're “compatible enough" instead of actually falling in love?

    samus @beatrixsamus Replying to @BigBicNick Yeah he shouldn't have asked her but she could've tried to be a little more understanding and patient with him, that can be an emotional time for anyone

    Barbara Albers @BarbaraAlbers11 Replying to @BigBicNick He broke that trust. Trust is everything. You can get it back, but she clearly didn't want. to. Not telling her why he thought that probably made her think he was thr one cheating, as that is usually the case.

    Ngamini Gatimu ❤ @Ngamini2004 Replying to @BigBicNick I struggle to see how he's the victim here. If it was a woman accusing a man of cheating many of the bros defending him would probably be all on his side.

    Holly Grayle @HollyGrayle Replying to @BigBicNick Yeah, I don't think I could forgive that either. I'd never see him the same way again. Hopefully, he can focus on being a good father and learn from this.
