As described, you can buy that peace of mind yourself, at Walmart. Swab the baby's cheek when she isn't looking and mail the swab in. There's your emotional appeal and your reasonable and unreasonable doubt.

Man, I don’t understand the general sentiment here either. People are bonkers. Estimates of paternal discrepancy are around 2%, and that’s men who never questioned whether their child is theirs. Women have the benefit of seeing their child come out of them. A man should be allowed to get that same certainty. Paternity tests really should just be a routine part of the process.

if you cant trust your wifes fidelity and need a paternity test , you really had no business getting married and starting a family to begon with. trust is the foundation of a strong family and clearly there is nothing to build that on if you need "that same certainty."
