He wants a DNA test?!
Ok let me start off by saying that yes the baby is his. I haven't been with anyone else, he purposed to me like 4 days prior to us finding out and we were in fact trying to have a baby (ovulation tests/temp tracking/using preseed) you name it. Now he's informed me that he wants a DNA test on our baby because "its normal where he comes from." It's not normal where I come from, usually the only people who get a DNA test are those that feel there's a good reason to. Like cheating... he said he doesn't believe I've done any of that but isn't that the purpose of the test?! Like if you truly felt 110% I was loyal there wouldn't be a need for a DNA test. Now he's talking about asking our OBGYN if they can do it at the hospital after I give birth and I'm honestly humiliated. Just the fact that this is even going to be a thing is embarrassing and humiliating to me. The worst part about all of this is, I can't even express to him why it's so humiliating and embarrassing to me because then it will come off as me trying to change his mind on the matter or just make me look guilty of something. I told him when this is all said and done he owes me an apology. Do I have a right to be upset?
Update- He's saying his step father has done a DNA test on all of his children. (His mom has been married 3 times and he has about 7 siblings outside of himself) I also feel like now I cant share this pregnancy with him because I know in the back of his head he thinks there's a possibility it's not his. So the idea of this pregnancy being a special thing we planned almost feels gone and feels like im alone in it.
2nd update- I personally called a few places to check in on paternity testing costs, I laid the law down about it being done at the hospital and involving my caregivers, I refuse to be subjected to such an embarrassing thing after going through hours of birth. After expressing to him how humiliated and hurt I am he told me he didn't want the test because he wasn't meaning it like that. He said he had no idea how big of a deal it really was. I am now insisting we do the paternity test because I won't have him ever doubting this child is his and that the damage is already done because he wanted one in the first place. I've been distant from him these last few days because I just feel completely disgusted and like he views me as a common street whore for even wanting one in the first place. It just makes me feel like what was a special pregnancy that was planned between both of us is no longer special and it's me alone. I'm having a really hard time emotionally coming back from this but again om insisting we get the test now even though he's backing out after seeing how badly it's hurt me.
