A boyfriend wanted his pregnant girlfriend to get a ‘maternity test’ to prove that the baby is hers.
His friend took to Reddit and shared: “AITA (am I the a***ole for calling my friend an idiot for wanting a maternity test?
“My friend Dan recently found out he might be a father. I say might because the girl he’s been having an off/on relationship with, Kara, is pregnant, and he’s not sure if he’s the dad. She offered to get a paternity test once the baby is born and doesn’t expect any kind of support until they find out if the baby is his.”
Dan’s friend continued: “He’s on board with that and appreciates that she’s not pushing him into fatherhood if the baby isn’t his.
“The issue is that when he was talking to me about it, he also said he wants to get a ‘maternity’ test done to make sure the baby is hers.
“Kara is visibly pregnant. We know she’s pregnant because she did a maternity photoshoot and posted it on social media, so it’s obvious she’s not faking being pregnant. We’ve both seen her in person, too and she’s most definitely pregnant. However, Dan believes that the baby might not be hers.”
The guy said that they have explained it properly to Dan and that the only way the baby would not be hers is if she had the embryo implanted in her.
“It’s ridiculous to think that she’d do all that just to baby trap a guy who is unemployed and living with his parents at 32. Plus he’s never donated sperm.
“He’s genuinely convinced that the baby might not biologically be hers despite not only me, his mom, and our other friends explaining that that’s not how babies/ pregnancy works.point 315 |
He’s still insisting on a ‘maternity’ test and told me that I was being ridiculous and that I’m the one who doesn’t understand biology despite me studying to be an autopsy pathologist which has required quite literally years of biology classes.point 234 |

The guy went on: “I got fed up and called him a senseless idiot and told him to call me when he got his head screwed back on straight.
“Ever since then he’s been spamming my phone and has gotten a couple of our friends to spam me as well, telling me I’m being insensitive and he’s just stressed about possibly being a dad. So, AITA for calling my friend an idiot?”
Reddit users responded to the post, with one person writing: “I’m legit crying laughing right now, sorry you have to go through this.”
Another said: “NTA but to be honest, I would pay to see a doctor’s reaction to being asked to perform this test.”
