 My husband confronted me saying our daughter isn't biologically his after a failed paternity test Here's the kicker. I never cheated Where the truth lies seems simple if neither of you cheated the baby must be yours But what if it isn't or is someone hell-bent on keeping a dark secret? In the end does the truth reveal itself in the heartbeat that synchronizes with those we love or in the cold But factual clinical results of a DNA test I'll let you decide. I don't know how it happened and I haven't been able to stop crying all day. I Never cheated. I love my husband. We've been together since college and he's the love of my life He's handsome and kind and while I've been with two other people both were before we ever got together There is no other potential father for our daughter. We were married already and actively trying for a baby I never cheated. I never would cheat. I don't know why he took that stupid test because I would never ever cheat But here we are he took it and it came back negative Now he thinks he's not her dad. I Don't know how to convince him. It was a faulty test and I'm so scared These past few months. It's like he's become someone completely different from the man. I married He's cold and suspicious He kept demanding to see my phone and wouldn't tell me why and I showed him at first But eventually told him I wouldn't anymore unless he explained why He's been distant with our daughter, too He stays in his office for hours on end and I don't know what he's doing. I did not cheat He accused me this morning saying he'd done the test after realizing that our daughter's eyes brown Wouldn't naturally come from ours both blue and that he wanted me to get out of the house I didn't leave and he locked me out of our bedroom and now I'm in my daughter's room. This is terrifying What should I do? The specific advice I need is how I can prove I'm innocent and how to make sure this relationship works I want to keep my family together at all costs Also, I just had a conversation with my husband. He's out of his room now and we discussed some things I told him again that I would never cheat and started talking about a list I made of tests I want done, but he told me that he didn't want to hear it right now We're going to have a longer conversation tomorrow And he said that he still loves our daughter and he won't try to keep me out of the house or our room for now I asked him to hug me and he did I'm scared that I won't be able to convince him I just want our family to go back to normal How can I be a good wife and support his needs while proving my innocence? Hi everyone First off, I wanted to thank everyone who reached out. My original post got so much attention It was hard to get to everything but I ended up making a list of plans and tests I wanted to get done My husband was, understandably, distrustful of me for a while But he apologized for the way he acted, which I didn't need, and said that he wouldn't try to kick me out of our home He did say though that if every test came back and I'd cheated, then he was going to go scorched earth We did a few tests, blood paternity tests for him and me and our daughter And we had an appointment with a chimerism specialist coming up But that got canceled because, well, some of you guessed it Our daughter, my daughter, is not biologically mine either I don't know how this happened But an officer came to our house and took our statements and we're suing the hospital where I gave birth I don't know what happened to my baby and that is terrifying I have my husband back but my whole world was still upended and I just wish he'd never taken that stupid test I've been sleeping in my daughter's room and I'm so afraid that she's going to be taken away from me But at the same time, I want to know where my biological daughter is and if she's okay I pray to God she's okay My daughter still doesn't know the details and we've been trying to keep this quiet The last thing we need is a big scandal. I don't want people who know us to look at her differently She deserves better than that. She's such a good kid and she's not some spectacle to be gawked at If we can find her birth family, I have no idea what we'll do I guess the best case scenario would be to get a bigger house and all live together But I don't know if we can afford that Or if they'd go for that or even if we'll be able to locate them or if I'm just crazy This whole situation is crazy. I don't know anyone else who's been in a situation like this I mean, are there support groups for parents of kids who got mixed up? I googled and nothing came up Literally all I'm getting are tabloid articles from trashy magazines That slap the faces of innocent kids on the same pages as celebrity scandals and fiction How do we tell our daughter? I mean, we can't tell her now She'll tell the kids at school and then it'll be everywhere, but we have to say something I don't know what we ever did to deserve this Usually in these situations the children don't switch families, but the families come together with frequent visits Sounds like a nightmare Wish all the best for you My god, this is like out of a horror movie I'm so sorry OP for all parties involved. I can't even begin to imagine the emotional turmoil your family is going through I know That's why I don't want this getting out right now My daughter does not need some slime ball paparazzi's cameras on her. It's already hellish enough Hello everyone So apparently a youtuber my husband watches decided that it would be a fun idea to read my post on his channel My husband recognized the story because well, of course, he recognized the story. How could he not? This doesn't happen every day Then he went on my account page Then he found quite a few comments about him that were not exactly nice And now he has asked me for a chance to post his side of the story on this account So that people stop trashing him Please be nice So I don't know how many of you have been down a self-doubt rabbit hole before But it's not the most logical place to be It's even less logical when you have the whole damn internet telling you that your wife is cheating And that she's planning to take the house and take you for all your worth That she never really loved you and you always sort of thought she was too good for you anyway So you end up seeing everything as a sign of infidelity and then you get not one but two failed paternity tests on your daughter When covet happened I got fat. I got depressed I stopped feeling like a person My wife stayed beautiful She stayed herself. I was sure that she'd made a mistake that she'd regret being with me I started getting into some online groups Especially on reddit that were full of guys who'd been cheated on lost custody lost everything When someone said that his tip-off was that he and his wife both had blue eyes and their son had brown I felt freaking stupid I did not want to jump to conclusions But when I made a post about my fears everyone said that she was cheating People said not to say anything because she'd use it to hide her cheating and get ahead of me on the divorce I got the test and I didn't really think it had come back negative Then it did I didn't want to believe it But yeah, I pulled back. I felt betrayed I wanted to be a good husband, but I couldn't shake this. I tried to find evidence of an affair and failed I got another test When that one was also negative I snapped If you've ever been cheated on you know what it feels like when my wife denied it. I got angrier I just wanted her to leave. I didn't want to go through what everyone seemed to think was going to happen I didn't want to lose custody of my kid. I didn't want to lose my house I was scared and angry and I wanted the truth I felt like if she couldn't even be honest, there was no getting past this I took a few hours to calm down When she came back with a list of tests to take I tried to keep my cool I tried to keep my cool for so long. I know I was wrong about the affair But so was everyone else in my ear. My kid is genuinely not biologically mine I didn't immediately consider that switched at birth was an option I've been through a messed up time I don't think getting angry one time because I thought my wife cheated and was lying about it makes me a monster Hi, it's me again. I just want to say that one I agree that he's not a monster or an abuser or anything of the sort too I do not agree that he's fat I love this man very much and have for ages and we are not going to let this situation break our marriage Thank you to everyone for all your help Get dna for all three of you in case the hospital switched babies Make sure she is yours as well. That sounds crazy, but it could happen. Use a different reputable company Do not tell them anything Jesus christ, can you imagine being the mother and thinking this is freaking stupid? Why am I taking this test? I literally birthed this child only for it to come back negative What a nightmare Love the child you have But still need to know where your biological baby is At the same time, there is another family with a ticking time bomb that they don't even know about I wouldn't wish this on anyone short but powerful As op doesn't conclude any more information. We're left to ponder How would you view your position as a parent? Can you continue holding your family together while your biological child lives elsewhere unbeknownst to your existence? The brutal pill op had to swallow with her husband is rough, but it's the truth Will dna results change the sincere love you felt would rage towards the ones that made this mistake fuel you to uncover More of the truth. Let us know down below. I'm curious to what your thoughts are This short form story was something else. I wanted to cover on this channel I like to experiment with new stories from time to time Even if it's short yet powerful like this one So I made sure to upload this one at the same time with a longer format one to keep you satisfied and smiling nonetheless Don't forget to smack the like button into oblivion. I'll see you in the next one
