So I finally put my foot down with my H, I told him that I needed closure on this one way or another. I told him what I would do if I were in his shoes. I said, that if she is 100% sure you are the dad, like she claims, she should have a problem with you doing any test you wanted. I also explained that she will want child support sooner or later and why not just go through the state with the test cause that is as legal as it gets. He wants to do the cheep infomational test and then sign papers if the test comes back as dad. My gut tells me she is just trying to get him to rule himself out as dad so that she doesn't have to tell her H about the affair, but that is just my gut. I figured if I was correct she would choose the info test, since it could be done with out anyone else finding out, and guess what I was so right. That is the one she wants to do. I also saw pictures of the kid and he looks nothing like my H or his other child that he has. The kid however does look just like her other two kids. I am so done with all of this. I told my H that if there wasn't an end to it soon, I was leaving just to keep my health and sanity. It is funny how he changed tunes real fast. I will keep you all posted as to the outcome of this.

I do know that you can tell parentage by pictures, but how many of you saw your other halfs in the kid, right away?

I saw absolutly no resemblence till about 4-6 months. He's a yr now and there's no doubt looking at my H's baby pictures at this same age right now they look alike. But this kid is a spitten image of it's mother. Even the same crooked teeth. Poor kid.

You do need to find out one way or another. You need to move forward. How can you possibly make any logical decisions without knowing? I remember that not knowing feeling. IT SUCKED! I never did let myself think it was not his child though. I didn't want all my eggs in 1 basket. Be prepared for the worse. God I pray you are the one that lucks out. Please God don't let this happen to another family!

Amen Pillar! I do know that in court they will not go by that cheap do-it-yourself test because it could be tainted. She could easily switch the test or even he could so the court will not go by that. For me - at first I thought my SS looked nothing like my H until I saw his toddler pic then I was like yup thats him but my SS looks like his not so attractive mom too but better. Sometimes you just can't tell. i had a roommate that didn't know who her BD was and her daughter looks like a spitting image of her and I can't see any of the men that she sleep with during that time in that little girl. He needs to get a real est and lay it to rest once and for all. Screw her H what about his life and his marraige to you!
