A 12-year marriage faced potential collapse when a husband, aged 37, requested a paternity test for their middle child, suspecting differences in features. Voicing his doubts on Reddit, he mentioned feeling a nagging suspicion despite having two other children who resembled him. His wife, offended by the request, viewed it as a lack of trust. The test confirmed the child’s paternity, but marital damage was irreversible. The wife contemplated divorce, feeling betrayed and unable to forgive her husband’s distrust.

Months later, an update revealed the wife’s reluctance to fully forgive. Their son, affected by the incident, believed his father despised him. The husband, facing resentment, admitted to past infidelity, fueling his wife’s suspicion. Commenters sided with the wife, criticizing the husband’s distrust and selfish approach. They found his demand for a paternity test based on physical resemblance irritating, emphasizing the erosion of trust and labeling it a betrayal warranting divorce. The husband’s refusal to acknowledge fault and empathize with his son added to online disapproval, with some deeming him a failed parent.
