‘ AITAH for starting the divorce process after finding out my daughter isn’t mine?’
ADVERTISEMENT
OP (33M) discovered that his 3-year-old daughter isn’t biologically his after his wife (30F) confessed to an affair with a man from the gym. Devastated, OP left, blocked his wife, and initiated divorce proceedings. His mother and sister (who’s infertile) are pressuring him to forgive his wife and continue being a father to the child,
even threatening to disown him if he divorces. OP’s best friend supports his decision to leave, but OP feels torn between his emotional pain and the bond he’s formed with the child he’s raised.
