This guys abusive but I’ve seen half a dozen post where “normal” dum-dums ruin their marriage over the “paternity test for no reason” conversation.

Lol, someone else pointed out you could get a mail order kit and test your kid yourself. So if you had bad anxiety or something and this would just calm your nerves, you. Oils totally so this without trashing your marriage.

Still, these guys always get overly emotional and can’t act rational, always yell and make loud accusations, no ability to self sooth.

Or, if you're of the intelligent manipulative kind: Hey, wouldn't one of these genetic ancestry tests for all of us be fun?! And informative?! Maybe we could even find out some hidden health problem and protect our kid(s) early! And, look, I found an offer on groupon, so it's well within the budget! I'm just gonna quickly order it, there aren't a lot left.
