A man’s decision to take a DNA test for his son, who didn’t resemble him, deeply hurt his wife. Their marriage, already strained by his mother’s interference, faced new challenges. The mother-in-law had repeatedly questioned the paternity of their child, making the wife feel unsupported by her husband. His passive reaction to these accusations worsened the emotional distance between them.

The wife consulted an attorney and planned to file for divorce, waiting for the test results. When it was confirmed the husband was the father, she gathered his parents and revealed her decision to divorce. Despite her husband’s attempts to reconcile, she handed him the divorce papers, stating his failure to defend her caused irreparable harm.

Many readers supported the wife’s decision, while others believed counseling might help. The situation sparked a debate about trust, boundaries, and the role of partners in defending each other in a marriage.
