I just got the dna test.
I am the father. My daughter is now 3 weeks old.

No surprise there. I expected to be the father. I had no reason to distrust my wife. But, after all, I know my IT security.

The relationship I had with my daughter was transitive. I trusted my wife and my wife had my daughter, ergo I had a connection with my daughter. Or in clearer terms: from a => b and b => c follows a => c.

The problem I was thinking about: What if I will stop trusting my wife in the future. At some point in the future... Something might happen. And I would stand there and wonder how long it went on. Maybe a month? Or before my daughter's birth? Maybe more than 9 month before my daughter. Would I be able to hide it from my daughter or would she notice...

If anything ever happens now, I know it has nothing to do with my daughter...

That's the same reason why we use end2end encryption. Sure, we have to trust that the application provided is not manipulated. But we only have to trust today. If it lands on their severs, we have to trust until the end of eternity.

I don't need any trust right now. And I am fucking happy about it.

    In high school, one of my best friends got a message from a stranger on MySpace saying that he thinks he’s her father. Now, my friend lived with both her parents, so this didn’t make sense. So she jokingly brought it up to her mom. Who then told her that she *did* cheat on her dad around the time she was conceived … with that guy.

    Blood tests later and fun fact, was in fact her father. The man who raised her ended up divorcing her mom and disowning her (but keeping relationship with her younger siblings who *were* his).

    Yeah... Those are the horror stories. This won't be me. But in addition to that, we went to a fertility clinic. Ever heard of Dr. Donald Lee Cline? Has a wikipedia page. Fun story, he fathered some 90 children by secretly using his own sperm in his fertility clinic. Obviously we did go to some other clinic ^^

    And then there was the nurse who had fun switching babies in the hospital. All things that happened...

    150€ are a small price for some certainty.

    @Demolishun The worst part was she was a real daddy’s girl before it all went down. Shittiest thing.
