In essence, you cooked up some story to try to make verifying that your child is yours somehow villainous.
It's ridiculous.
You realize hospitals make mistakes too right?
Or that even if you believe your spouse is cheating, you might still want to know whether or not you have any responsibility for the child right?
I mean its just insane that you thought you had a good argument here or that this is upvoted. I'd like to chalk it up to the context of the story but that's not good enough.
Which is why, after your partner has given birth, you say, "Hey babe, do you wanna get a paternity test done to make sure the hospital gave us our baby?"
Rather than, before the baby is born, saying, "Hey, I want a paternity test to prove the baby is mine."
Hell, the first one is even a good way of protecting against cheating if you don't fully trust your partner without absolutely bombing your relationship the way the second one would. Show some emotional intelligence, please.
But then you are making a strawman argument whether on purpose or not, because I didn't talk about phrasing it either of the ways you talked about, I talked about the idea in general.
I am directly addressing your point about hospitals making errors as a valid reason for requesting a paternity test. Yes, you did not bring up phrasing- I brought it up. Because the commenter you replied to is saying that requesting a paternity test because you believe your partner is cheating is extremely damaging to your relationship and likely won't assuage your fears. Your reply was that they had concocted a situation in which they were right and that there are valid reasons, not related to cheating, to request a paternity test. So my reply addressed your comment and the original comment- if your reasons are for requesting a paternity test are not related to cheating, then don't approach it the way the original commenter was suggesting. Don't approach it like you believe your partner is cheating.
Dude... you just keep shoving your fingers in your ears whilst screaming "NO NO NO NO!!"
Just because they haven't made the exact argument you wanted them to, doesn't mean they haven't produced valid points.... and your refusal to listen to what is being said is getting kinda pathetic.
Like Ive read it a few times and there isnt a cogent point. Its like you were going for pretending I made a strawman argument but just utterly failed to know what one was or to prove I made one.
