Man Finds Out Wife Cheated, Demands Kids Take DNA Tests Before He’ll Pay For College

A user recently took to Reddit looking for advice after his dad dropped a bombshell on their family after finding out their mom was not faithful to him.

This story has a lot of layers to it so let’s get into it.

The story begins with the dad discovering that his wife had cheated on him.

The children think that the affair happened when she was a stay-at-home mother, but they were not told who she cheated with.

Since the cheating happened while she was a stay-at-home mom, the dad was not sure if his kids were biologically his.

Asking For DNA Tests

The dad wanted all of the kids to take DNA tests to prove that they were his children.

If they didn’t, he said he would not be paying their college tuition.

Daughter Went First

The daughter was first to take the test as she looked the most like the father and was most likely conceived pre-cheating.

She was also already in college and needed the money and was relying on her dad.

The daughter’s DNA paternity test came back positive, she was his biological daughter.

This meant that he would continue to pay for her college tuition. This would be a big help for her and was a relief.

Was Counting On The Money

Another layer to his stress was the fact that he was starting college in the fall.

He was counting on his dad to pay for schooling and that would not have been an issue if not for the paternity test request.

Wouldn’t Have Access To The Funds

This also complicated things as he did not think that the investments would be going to his mom in the divorce.

Picked An Expensive School

When he was picking a school to go to, he ended up picking a rather expensive school.

He was not too worried as his dad was going to be paying for it. If his mom said she would pay for it, he didn’t think that she could afford it.

Decided To Take The Test

Never Know For Sure

Question marks

He never updated the post to share the results of his test so we will never know the final ending.

Reddit sympathized with the son, and while he didn’t provide an update, Redditors banded together to offer words of comfort during a stressful time for the son.
