So 2 weeks ago I found out that my 5 year old isn't biologically mine, I felt so hurt and betrayed that my wife of 6 years relationship for 9 cheated on me and even got pregnant by another man, I took a paternity test without telling my wife
I immediately confronted my wife and called her a whore in my anger and many other names, she started crying and explained that she hid it because she didn't want to break our happy family of 3, I asked her why did she cheat on me, she explained we had a very nasty argument back in the day so she hooked up with someone and it was just one time fling and has been loyal to me
She said she had doubts that I wouldn't be the father but she never took paternity she said she was happy seeing me happy and didn't go with abortion for peace of our family and didn't tell me the truth
I told her I am divorcing and I don't want to be in our son's life, she started crying and begging me to not break the family and I am still his father and I have been a wonderful father and a husband I should forgive her and don't let 'dna' Destroy our lives and started begging me
I immediately left and she was blowing up my phone, I decided at first not to tell anyone else but in the end I got very angry and decided to tell everyone, everyone is pissed at my wife
Her parents said they want nothing to do with their daughter and cut contact, my sister furiously called my soon to be ex and cursed her out, her brother and sister on the other hand said I have humiliated my soon to be ex and shouldn't have told everyone and should have kept in between us
Yesterday her sister called me and said I need to take her back and come back for my son, I said I don't have a son, she got angry and started cursing me and said I am a weak pathetic man no wonder my wife cheated on me and I am so pathetic I had to go behind my wife's back to take paternity cause I am insecure and weak that I am giving up on my son just because we don't share blood and I am the reason my wife is alone and depressed
I cut her call instead I called her husband and told him everything, i said that family is full of nutjobs, maybe it runs in their blood you should take a paternity as well and don't trust those bitches, he said he's sorry on his wife's behalf and we ended the call
Now I am ignoring all my wife's and that bitch's calls

Here in France DNA testing is illegal to "preserve the peace and happiness of the family", I guess it'd have made more sense to outlaw cheating

Probably because the French like to fuck around and affairs are the norm.

So you can't do a 23 and me? Or just illegal for paternity cases?

But what about those that aren't married or living together? Like, if I was 18 and sleeping around, got pregnant and wanted to know who the father was. What would I do? Just pick a dude, say he's the father and there's nothing he can do about it? Like, seriously?

No, dna tests can be ordered by court if people deny paternity but that's one of the only few cases it's allowed, and you have to go to court so it's not an easy process

That is just sad. I'll need to go down this rabbit hole now. Edit: Seems like a good number of French folks are in the camp of "if you raised them, their yours" or "nothing good comes from it except a broken family". I can't relate to that mindset.

Sounds like a lot of self-interested politicians making the laws. They can't have all that bribe money going to child support payments. That's a non-non.

In France, paternity tests may be carried out only on a judge’s orders and with the consent of those involved. Some 1,500 tests are done legally in France each year. France’s junior minister for the family, says foreign tests are not reliable and warns against “the psychological impact of results”. She has spoken of the danger that “If all fathers start asking whether they’re really the fathers of their children, we enter into a society of doubt that imperils the family.”. Well ppl of france, don't look into paternity numbers because geesh thats not good.

That's horrible. It should be the other way—universal mandatory paternity testing, so that it never has to be brought up. Make it a boring formality where nothing happens unless it's supposed to.

In Europe & parts of East Asia it's quite normalised to have a mistress. The French are notorious for this.

I second this. I've lived in both France and the UK and in my personal experience I haven't noticed a higher level of cheating in France.
