“I Still Love Her”: Chance Meeting With Old Friend Gets Dad Doubting Paternity Of His 12YO Son
The American talk show “Maury” isn’t the only place where men might hear the words “You are not the father.” Around the world, cases of paternity fraud might range from 0.8% to 30%, but there isn’t one precise number. It might not happen that often, but when it does, it can ruin lives and entire families.
This man decided to do a paternity test with his 12-year-old son after a suspicious comment from a friend he hadn’t seen in a long time. What he found out rocked his world off its axis, but his commitment to his son hadn’t weakened. However, his dilemma now was how to approach his wife and find out the truth.

It is never better for the child if parents stay together for the sake of the child. Just co-parent. You'll model better behaviour and be happier which both lead to better parenting. Growing up in a house with a rocky and volatile couple (this case) or a loveless or resentful one (in many other cases) is terrible for the kid and does far more damage than respectful co-parenting could ever do

I think he made this up for attention. Who turns to reddit for a problem as serious as this? He "ran into an old friend." Yeah right. You've been with her for 12 years and you randomly run into a guy who just happens to have been dating your wife when you met her and tells you that you "stole" her from him? This is the first you're hearing of this? I call complete b******t. You got the attention you wanted, hope you feel better.
