This story is about a young mother dealing with trust issues after her boyfriend asks for a paternity test for their newborn daughter. This request brings up feelings of doubt and questions about trust, just when they should be celebrating the birth of their child.<\/p>\n
She explained what happened.<\/p>\n
My boyfriend of 7.5 years and I just had our daughter almost three weeks ago, and now he\u2019s asking for a paternity test. We met at work\u2014I\u2019m a nurse, and he\u2019s a surgeon who works a lot. I\u2019m not working right now, so I stay home while he supports us.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always been faithful to him, but he has made some mistakes over the years, which I forgave. He told his coworkers in the operating room that he asked for a paternity test, which upset me. He says they understand why I\u2019m upset.<\/p>\n
His reason is that he doesn\u2019t want to raise a child unless he\u2019s 100% sure she\u2019s his. He doesn\u2019t want to find out later that she isn\u2019t, like in the movies. He just wants to be certain.But then he said that since I\u2019m home alone a lot and he\u2019s never home, he doesn\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing. This really hurt because I\u2019ve been the one who\u2019s been faithful. If he wants to pay for the paternity test, I\u2019m okay with that. But am I wrong for being upset by the way he\u2019s making it seem like I\u2019m the one who\u2019s unfaithful?People supported her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIMAX level of projection here. I\u2019d be wondering if he has any other kids out there that need paternity tests. Cheating isn\u2019t a \u2019slip-up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a nurse who was married to a doctor. He will continue to cheat on you, I promise. He\u2019s projecting on you his own behavior, my ex did that as well.<\/p>\n
He would call to see if I left work to the minute\u2026 forbid me to go back to work\u2026 it doesn\u2019t get better. Hugs to you.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants the test because he thinks you\u2019re like him, and you both know you can\u2019t trust him. Give him the test and get it out of the way, but you\u2019re 100% justified in being upset that it\u2019s his own behavior that\u2019s causing this lack of trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
