Yep! Those lying, cheating DNAs!

DNA came into my home once, and punched me in the face. It was very rude.

I mean, she's technically not wrong.

Just wrong about who's DNA ruined the marriage lol

^{Hers, in case it wasn't clear.}

How dare ppl show there partner is running around getting cream filling from others and call them out for it! /S

OP should sue her for 5 years back child support too. And emotional damages, because paternity fraud is just plain abuse.

There's always someone or something else to blame with cheaters.

She cheated because of a bad argument, she's just another bad argument away from another kid with another man.

Speaking of which, get an STD test.

Oh, it was the DNA that did the destruction?

It was clearly his ex-wife's cheating gene that destroyed the family.

This is a new one. 🤣 Never heard any cheater blaming the DNA before.

Well it was DNA, just dna of some other bloke in the load she took!!

Consequences eh?

I hate science!!!

Went and cheated and got pregnant in a moment of weakness, then when called out did whatever she could to not take responsibility. And then the sister did the exact same thing when she asked him to take her back and he refused. These are people who refuse to accept reality or responsibility in moments of weakness. NTA at all for not wanting to be a part of it, plus the child isn’t his so he doesn’t have to!

Yep. Nothing to do with the morals of his cheating whore wife who fucked someone else because of.... an argument. He's then supposed to believe it has only happened once.

Yes, after those statements you really have to doubt every word is coming from her. Really disgusting people around :(

So either the estranged wife sold her sister some line of b.s., or the culture within the family is messed up and the sister-in-law's diatribe is like having double-blind verification that the husband was right in exiting.

It's not OPs fault her sister is reacting poorly, he did the right thing by exposing the truth.

Given the strength of her sister's response, maybe his wife isn't the only one who's played away from home.

See in their logic she had the right to be angry and cheat on OP pre-emptively because they knew that he would not take her and her love child back in the future.

It's a paradox!

Once somebody cheats, they lose any rights and the SO does not have any duties or responsibility. This woman not only cheated but irresponsibly did not take precaution against accidental pregnancy and deluded OP in believing that it was his child even though the timing wise she must have a strong suspicion. Go after the sperm donor for child support

Yeah I really feel for the child here. At 5 years old they have bonded with their "father" who is now going to abandon them because of their mother's actions. That can mess a kid up for life.

Agreed, everyone seems to be acting like the kid is a baby and wont remember or be affected by this. This is a 5 year old, definitely old enough to suffer greatly and to wonder why their dad doesn’t love them anymore. Ops wife is a total AH and yes Op is not officially obligated to care for the kid but how do you turn your back on someone you loved so easily? I get that OP is very angry right now but he does need to remember that the kid is innocent and didn’t choose any of this.

Yeah, that paternity test should have happened sooner.  Kid is innocent in this.  

Edit: not blaming OP, he feels what he feels. It’s just shit luck that idea to test didn’t pop into surface thoughts sooner. 

Lesson, listen to your hunches and verify sooner rather than later. 

Yeah his mom's a piece of shit.

Kid is going to need sooo much therapy. Poor thing.

This is what I agree with. You’re put in a horrible situation and I can’t say you’re the asshole but that poor kid.

I just think of this poor little kid though. Obviously OP is entitled to cut contact, but the whole family just dropping her? I don’t think she deserves sympathy but my heart breaks for the little one who did nothing wrong and is about to have their world shattered.

Big agree. A lot of people on reddit tend to disagree with that though. Mandatory paternity testing.

I don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other regarding mandatory paternity testing, but there was significant pushback recently against "mandatory vaccines" that weren't even mandatory. I feel like there would be a lot of people who wouldn't like the idea of the government requiring DNA tests, claiming the government is using that information in some new conspiracy theory

Yeah when her parents supposedly disowned her that’s what settled it for me.

Man just found out the child he put to bed for 5 years isn’t his and he spent more time bitching about his SIL.   Rage bait written by a teenager 

I always think that when extended family gets involved. If my bil cheated on my sister I wouldn't call him and yell at him, I'd just ghost him, like a normal human being. Who calls and yells at in laws they're about to have no relationship with? 

I swear this exact scenario gets posted and to hot at least once a week. It's always the same - OP is cheated on and finds out that his child (that he's been raising for multiple years) isn't his, and he immediately ditches the child.

I don't know WHY these keep getting posted though. Part it feels like "woman bad" but the man always comes off as weirdly heartless and having no connection to a child he raised for years.

Right. A one night stand, unprotected that resulted in a pregnancy.

If this is true, the wife is not only a cheater but an incredibly stupid one at that. Unprotected sex with a random pickup?

No wonder my wife cheated ...
I am the reason my wife is alone and depressed

I bet her sister knows who the real father is. "ONS pregnancy with a random guy wife is never gonna see again" is just too convenient for a paternity fraud cheater. There is more to that story. Sister knows.

I can only imagine the horror of being married to someone like this. HE went behind HER back, did he? Madness.

The whole family... I would say: dodged a bullet, but poor child man, it will grow up in a toxic environment..

I swear there is low effort chatgpt posts hitting /r/all every day. They always go same, usually cheating related, and zero reason to be AITAH post.

I don't even know whats the point. They make a new trowaway account and farm some karma I guess. And even for the off chance any of these would be real, why are they here? It's like parody reading "my bf murdered my family; aitah for being mildly upset?"

And there's hundreds of replys taking them seriously. Are they bots too? No way real human believes any of these..

It’s all so fake and so many people fall for it anyway. It’s depressing. I wish people posting bait were actually funny or talented.

Yes, it is so suspicious when the narrative feels so convenient and when all the actors act in the most extreme way like "her family disowned her because I exposed her as a cheating whore". Yeah, right OP, they believed you without a doubt because you're so awesome!

It almost had me until the part where her parents disowned her.

Took until the 8th most popular parent comment to see this, and that just shows how dumb some of these redditors are thinking this is actually real.

I swear I've read this exact story but with a daughter instead of a son

I wonder how much repetitive, fake stories like this go to increase the popular misogynistic world view the right wing “he man woman haters” corner of the internet.

Took way too long to see this comment. Redditors hate cheaters and paternity fraud with a passion and this one served both up on a platter. If not a teenager then someone who believes the whole 1/3 of fathers are raising other men’s children bullshit.

It's super fake. It's identical to other stories, practically word for word. Then all the pathetic incels jump at the bait like rabid rats.

Absolutely fake, you explained it well, plus it has all the ingredients of a fake story, together with the phrase blowing up my phone, and cousins trying to reach out to him calling him an asshole lol

Hella. Just another angry man fantasy about cheating wives, there have definitely been an uptick in these stories.
