I agree with this. While I would just take the test and get over it, it would definitely - I don't know - make me wonder why he he felt the need to ask. I imagine that would be a pretty substantial ding in the relationship. I would also expect an apology for the doubt once the test comes back.

I got to know what it's like to raise somebody else's kids. I was in a LTR for about 4 years, and the girl I was dating had a niece and a nephew. Well the sister was all messed so my girlfriend and I spent tons of time with these kids. We took them to parks and the beach, had birthdays, went on vacations, played in the yard everyday. We were involved in basically every aspect of their lives.

So long story short my girlfriend breaks up with me. First thing I ask is if I am going to get to see the kids anymore? I spent 4 years watching these kids grow up, and I felt emotionally invested. Unfortunately, I was NOT permitted to ever spend time with those kids again, and that sucked. I missed those kids more than I missed her.

It's a different situation, but I felt like a father figure to those kids even though they weren't mine. In a situation where the man spends years thinking the kids are his, and then he finds out they aren't ... it would hurt for sure, but it would probably hurt worse to have those kids taken away. I can definitely understand how he would still want to be in their lives.

.

Obviously you chose NOT to tell your partners from the very beginning you had a vasectomy or they wouldn't have tried this on you. Also maybe they actually thought you were the father since you never told them you couldn't reproduce. Were you trying to make the relationship last longer and fool them into thinking you were father material by not being honest? Sure looks that way to me.

Point is they were collecting sperm samples from other men aka "Cheating" and seemed quite ready to let him believe he was the father when they knew at the very least there was a good chance he wasn't.

always.
No a woman doesn't always know for sure. Sometimes a woman will have sex with more than l partner in a cycle and she can't always be sure. Oh Gasp- sex with more than 1 partner in a month? No man would ever do that would he?????

Adoptive father spend buckets of money on children that aren't theirs. It is the betrayal which is the real issue here and not the money.

I think they meant the woman will always know for sure SHE is the real mother. Unless the babies get switched in the hospital and even then she still knows she is a mother.

Well if a couple uses donor eggs/embryos, she would not be the bio mom.

In situations where a couple is knowingly using donor sperm, how would we protect their privacy in the case of the mandatory paternity testing? What would you do in those situations? Why is it big brother's business if a couple did use donor sperm.
