DNA or paternity tests can be requested for various reasons. However, the following five stories show how it can end marriages and damage relationships. Being able to take DNA tests has changed how people handle pregnancies.
In the following stories, five Reddit users share how taking DNA tests affected their lives in a significant way. Both Parents Discover Their Child Isn’t Biologically Theirs A 29-year-old woman revealed on Reddit that she started dating her husband, 31, in college and loved him immensely. The couple shared a daughter, five, and things in their relationship were going well until her husband decided to get a DNA test.
The test was negative,and the woman’s husband started changing toward her. The original poster (OP) was shocked by the results because she’d never cheated on him. She said no one else could be their daughter’s father as she and her husband were already married when they tried to conceive, with her insisting:”I never cheated; I never would cheat.”Before dating her spouse, OP had only slept with two other men.
In retaliation to the results, OP’s husband began spending more time at work and wasn’t talking to his wife like before. He told her he’d taken the test because he’d always been suspicious of the little girl having brown eyes while they both had blue. At one point, he wanted OP to leave their home, but when he finally calmed down, he agreed to discuss the issue further.
They settled on doing a couple of tests to get to the truth. The husband vowed to lose his mind if the tests didn’t prove his wife’s innocence.One of the tests they took was a blood paternity test that shockingly proved the couple were both not the little girl’s biological parents! The family’s lives were turned upside down, and the authorities were involved with a police officer coming over to take their statements.
OP and her husband presented a united front when suing the hospital where she gave birth. The thought of her birth daughter terrified her as she contemplated where the child could be. However, what frightened her the most was the thought of what would happen after the little girl was found.
As much as she was curious about her birth daughter, she was still a protective mother to her five-year-old and didn’t want the child to know they weren’t her birth parents because it would ruin her childhood. She also worried about the child telling her friends and school, leading people to gossip about her.OP returned to Reddit a few weeks later to reveal that they’d found their biological daughter, and she was in foster care. The child’s fake parents took her straight from the hospital, but the police placed her in foster care after discovering she wasn’t their biological child.OP and her husband applied to adopt their biological child from her foster parents.
