For three years, she believed her marriage was built on love and trust — until one request shattered that illusion.
Her husband asked for a DNA test for their son. Not because he doubted her, but because his mother had planted
suspicions, claiming the child didn’t look like him. In that moment, her heart sank. She had endured years
of her mother-in-law’s subtle digs, but this time her husband chose silence over loyalty.
The request devastated her. Marriage, she thought, should rest on faith, yet he allowed doubt to creep in.
Quietly, she contacted a lawyer and began preparing for divorce. While awaiting the DNA results,
she withdrew emotionally. The outcome no longer mattered; the damage was already done.
When the results arrived, they confirmed what she always knew — her husband was the father. He looked relieved,
even triumphant, but she felt only betrayal. That evening, she revealed the results to his parents
and calmly handed him divorce papers. His shock was visible, but her decision was firm.
Though he begged for therapy and promised distance from his mother, her trust was gone. For her,
the betrayal wasn’t the test itself — it was his failure to defend her.
