God forbid a child (and jeez, 3 months old babies basically look like ... BABIES) should favor its mother. I would never have agreed to a paternity test. If you don't trust me we have no future.

What a profoundly stupid MIL. I bet she's sorry for her idiocy now that she's lost this part of her family. I'd certainly never forget this if I was the DIL.

Accusing your partner of cheating is a bell that cannot be unrung. OP'S husband had better get on his knees every morning and night, thanking God for a second chance that isn't afforded to everyone. He also had better follow through with marital counseling, as well as cutting off his mother. What a numbskull!

OP is better than me, because I definitely would have split not only with MIL, but the husband as well. Trust is the foundation of all relationships, and the moment he agreed with his MIL on the paternity test, he demonstrated that he didn't trust his wife. I read her excuse about his past trust issues, but that's not good enough for me. If he has trust issues, he has no business trying to be in a committed relationship until he receives some sort of therapy to resolve them. If I were OP, I would have agreed to the test, but on the condition that once the test proves the baby is his, he has to agree to sign divorce papers.

Accusing a woman of cheating while she is innocent is one of the worst things you can do to her mentally. Shame on MIl for thinking that for such a stupid reason, shame on the guy for even considering it for a second. OP reacted well and wanted to fix things instead of ending it there, which I wouldn't have blamed her for

Should have accompanied the paternity test results with divorce papers. Wait 'till he does this with the next child.

Everyone jumping to divorce is typical for bored panda. people have salvaged relationships where one partner did cheat. Many relationships have survived much worse. So everyone including the commenters needs to take a deep breath, let the LW bring her husband to counseling, and fix the family. As to the MIL, that is more counseling and the MIL making many sacred promises she will never interfere in their family again especially if they have another kid. Maybe grandma can see her own shrink,

Hey, only the second time I have seen this reposted and the first time this year. Wonder how many more times it will happen.

Her MIL basically called her an adulterer which, in certain cultures, is akin to calling her an amoral slút. That’s the implication. That her husband decided to think the same of her and basically tell her the same speaks volumes about these people. A coworker has a similar thing happen. She told her husband that if the baby wasn’t his, she expected him to serve her with divorce papers. It it was his, she’d serve him for the allegations. She went to legal help, got her papers and served him right before the paternity test. She told him that even tho he thinks she cheated, she never even considered an affair & 100% knew the kid was his. Of course, she was right, got physical custody with limited visitation & gets a tiny amount of child support. She’s been dating a great guy who’s secure in their relationship & they buillt a beautiful life based on love & trust.

He abandoned her...

Babies don’t much look like any humans when first born. No teeth, no definition…I’ve never seen a baby I’d look at and say that must be so and so’s kid.

I would have cut contact with that b***h as soon as he told me about it. His other relatives that are bugging them about it can also jump up a rope and mind their own damn business. She has really screwed up their marriage and there is no telling what else she has said about her DIL.

The younger generations today are a bit fragile. Husband and wife both in this instance.

Im hoping this works out ok

MIL is going to get her wish and have sonny boy all to herself.

Your relationship is over. Get your s**t together and get a lawyer. She was basically called a whore by her MIL and husband.

„My family has steong genes!“ nope, that is not a thing lady. You’re an idiot

You only bring up an accusation of cheating if you are ready to let the relationship go right now, today. Because an innocent partner will be just as insulted by the accusation as you would be by it being fact. Being blindsided by an accusation of cheating when nothing supports it is an absolute betrayal. They won't look at you the same way after you make that accusation.

I laughed at the idea that mother and son should take a test, because maybe she cheated - son and father perhaps, but unless he was adopted, sure, it proves she had a baby.

This is a fake article.
