Generally, I'd say age gap stories are the best stories, but paternity test stories are quickly becoming a strong contender: I [30M] asked my wife [28F] for a paternity test for stupid reasons. I hurt her and need help fixing things. I really don't know why I did it in retrospect. I have no reason to believe she cheated or ever has. In the 6 years we've been together, she has never once given me a reason to doubt her faithfulness. I had no reason to ask her for a paternity test, and I can't even begin to express how much I regret it. The worst thing is having to see her each day and see the sadness in her face that I would ever doubt her. It kills me to see that and to realize that I turned what should have been an extremely happy time for us into this mess. I think it all started when one of my good friends started talking about how men can never know if they're the father short of a paternity test. This was right after he found out we were expecting. I don't think he was being malicious, but he kept going on and on about how it's weird how you could in theory raise a child your entire life and it not be yours and giving me these horror stories. I tried not to let it bother me, but the more and more he went on about this the more it started nag at me and make me wonder. That was almost 3 months ago, and after hearing more and more from him a few weeks ago I started dropping hints to my wife that I'd be interested in a paternity test just for peace of mind. She didn't get my hints so eventually I escalated them to the point where she finally asked me point blank if I was asking her for a paternity test. I told her that I was. I'm not going to describe everything that happened after that, but it wasn't good. I ended up sleeping at my brother's house for a few nights, and when I went back home she told me we could do a paternity test after the baby is born if it would make me feel better. Obviously by this point I had realized what a big mistake I had made and told her I was sorry, but the damage was done. That was last week, and this whole time I've felt lost about where to go from here. How do I even begin to make up for this and apologize? It has caused so much damage I can only imagine. I think what's worse is that even though I've told her many times now that I don't want a paternity test anymore she is insisting that we do it so I won't doubt her. This whole situation is a mess. It's even created problems between me and my family. Where do I even start, and how do I at least try to fix this? I feel almost paralyzed because I just don't know where to begin when there's so much to fix. tl;dr: Asked my wife for a paternity test for stupid reasons and not because I suspected her of cheating. I hurt her very badly and have made a huge mess out of things. Don't know where to begin trying to fix this.

ArbitraryC posted:I wouldn't say it's 'no enjoying yourself', just that you never really get to learn first hand that the grass only looks greener until you're standing in it. It's not that they woulda been having a better or more fulfilling life outside the relationship it's just they lack the experience to understand that their view of how things might be outside of the relationship is probably a whole lot different than the reality. Observing the trainwreck relationships of my friends, family, acquaintances did a pretty thorough job of dispelling the romance of romance. poo poo is hard work and it's hard to flee a sinking ship because all of your feels are in the cargo hold. Attempting a few abortive relationships of my own cemented the whole thing for me. I'm still down to have an SO, I just want to be in a place where I feel like I'm bringing more good stuff to the table than bad before making a serious attempt. Any of you guys wanna make out?

zakharov posted:Weddings! Horrible parents! Christ this reminds me of my in-laws. They wanted to host the wedding rehearsal dinner at their house. OK, except their house was small, there were seven people living there, and there would be eighteen more coming for the dinner. They gave virtually all their money to various churches, so there was never any food in the house, and what was there was quickly eaten by the perpetually hungry kids. And now that they were all teenagers, they ate everything in sight. For the dinner they bought a pound of deli ham, a loaf of bread, butter and a head of lettuce. That was it. Or not, because the younger kids found it and ate it before the dinner started. So here's a big wedding party, hungry for dinner, and oops, they 'forgot' to tell people to leave the food alone. Wasn't that just silly of them? My dad took us all out to dinner at a favorite Mexican restaurant. Yes, even them. They hated me for being a different race and class. So much so that their oldest daughter wore a white lace dress to the wedding, MIL tried to keep people from going into the church, and she then invited all these church friends of theirs that we didn't know to the reception. None of them even brought so much as a card. It was over twenty years before I willingly spoke with them.

The doubts I can understand (and she did too) but when she's offering a possible explanation and proof there's really no need to go immediately for the nuclear option, at least wait for the test.

That seems like a really understandable case of getting angry. If you don't know how genetics can work it really seems like she cheated. Obviously he shouldn't have been such an rear end in a top hat about it but that's the kind of situation where people aren't exactly rational.

The dude pretty clearly overreacted, but I feel like "the baby is born and doesn't look like either of us" is a fairly non-crazy reason for the paternity test, as opposed to "I read Reddit too long and have convinced myself that my partner must be cheating on me despite no evidence or even meaningful suspicion before this." Hope those two can work it out, or at least do their best to co-parent the kid.

In her own words:quote:where did I say I expected him to be 100% cool with it? I'm upset at him screaming at me three minutes after I'd just spent 2 days in labour, broke up with me via text, moved all his stuff out before I got home from the hospital and then didn't answer any of my calls or texts for three days She was okay with the test but that other poo poo is egregious. e: I gotta say tho most of these paternity stories aren't really interesting just sad, basically if it's a lady is posting it's just a dude being an rear end in a top hat and if it's a dude posting their wife was cheating on them but the kid's is still his. Not really compelling drama so much as "well sucks to be you". ArbitraryC fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Mar 15, 2017 |

I came out darker skinned than my white parents and with black hair that eventually disappeared and turned to blonde. Guy should've been happy that he might actually have some soul in him. At the very least he could say "love, our baby is beautiful but I'm also feeling some doubt because she doesn't seem to look much like me. I wish I didn't feel this way but if we could have a paternity test done that would really put me at ease." Or just nut up and raise the kid with the woman you love and wait for features to emerge that match yours.

I'll be honest, I sorta skimmed the post, "she's really dark skinned compared to us with really curly hair" is pretty different from the "We're white, baby is black." in the title  Also lol at him cutting contact, then threatening to cut contact if she didn't take a paternity test that she was more than happy to take. Dude's a nutjob

Can I be arrested for possessing cheese in Florida?quote:So TIL that there's apparently a law in Florida that classifies anything containing "Tyramine" as a Schedule 1 drug. Tyramine is a common substance found in many foods, like cheese and chocolate. Oh, and in our bodies: quote:Yes, by the letter of the law, this cheese could net you some pretty serious charges. However, practically speaking, it's highly unlikely that a police officer would arrest someone for possessing cheese (or even know that this is a chemical found in cheese), and even more unlikely that any prosecutor would take on such a case. The statute requires that possession of this hallucinogenic substance take place willfully and knowingly; someone who possesses cheese for dietary/culinary purposes likely doesn't know about this chemical and has no criminal intent in doing so.

I came out darker skinned than my white parents and with black hair that eventually disappeared and turned to blonde. Yeah, I should probably clarify that I still think the dude was a crazy rear end in a top hat about it, and for that matter that judging by baby appearances should probably lead to thousands of paternity suits against Winston Churchill and goblins. I guess I was just grateful to see anything going on in the story besides "my wife is a loving partner and has never given me any reason to doubt her fidelity, and I can't wait to raise a family with her, but I've been reading on the Internet about how all women are cheating bitches..."

Why can't these dudes just quietly get a few hairs or swab the inside of the baby's cheek and send that off for testing? Or maybe compare the baby's blood-type with yours. I mean, It's like a parade of idiots blowing their lives up over nothing.

Well in the case of newborns coming out you'd have to come up with a really good excuse to not put your name on the birth certificate. Once you start down that road and begin to take responsibility for the child family court will (rightfully) err on the side of the child's best interest in being raised by two adults who have taken care of the child. In fact with no effort putting into the matter myself cause I'm lazy and tired I'd bet cases where a male is absolved of his parental responsibility after a DNA test are extremely rare if the biological father isn't asking to be involved.
