My Husband Asked For Paternity Test after I Gave Birth – He Was ‘Shocked’ When He Read the Results
The day we welcomed our daughter, Sarah, should have been the happiest of my life, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. As Alex looked at her pale blue eyes and blonde hair, doubt clouded his face. “You’re… sure?” he asked, questioning her paternity. His accusation was like a slap in the face.
“Alex, babies can have lighter features at birth,” I explained, but he insisted on a paternity test. His demand felt like a betrayal, and after returning home, he left to stay with his parents, leaving me to handle everything alone.
A week later, his mother called, threatening me with divorce and financial ruin if the test showed Sarah wasn’t his. It was the last straw. After weeks of waiting, Alex finally got the test results, and they confirmed what I’d said all along — Sarah was his. But instead of apologizing, Alex grew angry, and when I told him about his mother’s threats, he seemed unaware.
Emily, my sister, told him to leave, and he did. A few days later, he returned, apologizing for doubting me, but his words didn’t erase the hurt. I agreed to try for Sarah’s sake, but something inside me had changed.
Later, while Alex slept, I unlocked his phone and found messages with a female colleague — he was planning to leave me for her. With proof in hand, I filed for divorce. I kept the house, the car, and child support. By the time Alex returned, I was gone, and so was our marriage. The love I thought we had had ended in betrayal.
