A woman shared her dramatic story that surprised everyone. After her daughter was born, she noticed the baby looked very different from her. She agreed to take a paternity test, and the results shocked her husband.
What happened.
“I have been married to my husband for 2 years and gave birth to our daughter 5 weeks ago. Our daughter was born with blonde hair and pale blue eyes, while my husband and I have brown hair and brown eyes.
My husband got very upset and refused to believe my explanation that babies can sometimes be born with lighter hair and eyes that get darker later. He demanded a paternity test and threatened to divorce me if I didn’t agree, so I did.
After my daughter and I came home from the hospital, my husband went to stay at his parents’ house for three weeks to get some space from me while I recovered. He told them what was happening.
My mother-in-law called and said that if the paternity test showed the child wasn’t his, she would do everything she could to make sure I got nothing in the divorce. My sister helped me take care of the baby during this time.
We got the test results back yesterday, and my husband came home to see them with me. I was on the couch in the living room, so he sat next to me, and we started to read the results. They showed that he was the father. My husband looked shocked and embarrassed as he stared at the results.
“I couldn’t stop myself from saying, ‘I told you so,’ and I started laughing at how he looked. My husband snapped out of his shock and got mad at me for laughing. We argued for a bit, with him mostly yelling at me.
After that, my husband went back to his parents’ house to ‘clear his head.’ A few hours later, my mother-in-law called to scold me for laughing at my husband because she thought it was like kicking him while he was down.
I don’t think I was wrong, but I’d like an outsider’s perspective on this.”
People took her side.
- “Not only doesn’t your husband have a basic grasp of genetics, he threw a tantrum and left you immediately after having the baby to struggle alone for almost a month. He’s lucky all you did was laugh in his face.
- “My husband and I both have dark brown hair and dark eyes. Our child has blonde and blue eyes. Has your husband never heard of recessive genes?
- “He owes you a massive apology. Or three. Sorry about your husband and in-laws.
