gay: anon had a (presumably) loving relationship with a man who was not his dad

I have a half-sibling who took one of those tests not knowing his parents went to a sperm bank due to fertility issues, so he assumed his mom had an affair (and he’s not the youngest child). The rest of us all knew I think (except the sperm donor’s actual child). Fortunately, he had another one of my half-siblings reach out to him to explain it.
Also “Turned out my father isn’t my real dad” is BS. Genetic test results are useless for determining such.

Genetic tests can be used to determine paternity though?

Maybe you are referring to a specific type of test?
zout@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
He's referring to the fact that paternity doesn't make you a dad.
fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Who is your father, the one you would rely on when you need a paternal figure, the dude who shoot his sperm or the dude who raised you? Hopefully both dudes are the same person but in the case they aren’t, I think the answer is clear.
I’d be surprised if adopted kids don’t consider the people who raised them as parents as their actual parents.

Those tests are how we know who our formerly anonymous sperm donor is and how a bunch of us half-siblings know each other. We’ve met the sperm donor a couple times. Seems like a cool dude mostly. But he’s only one person’s real dad.

Wait, what now? The AncestryDNA test isn’t WGS, but it analyzes 700K loci. One can infer relatedness with an insanely high degree of accuracy with that number. For reference, the standard US paternity test uses 20 loci and it’s more than 99% accurate.
Or do you mean one needn’t be a biological parent to be a real father to a child?

Correct!

I’m so confused by this. Are you playing semantic games here? Because this is otherwise completely wrong, and contradicts the story you told before it

At least you recognized that I clearly didn’t think that ancestryDNA tests couldn’t determine paternity. But it just determines who provided sperm (or an egg and womb), not who the real parents are.

Your real dad is the father who raised you. Don’t discriminate against step-parents.

Ancestrydna isn’t a paternity test
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If the bio dad also did the test then Ancestry will match it with this kid. And even if the bio dad isn’t on there if you find out via the tests that you have close relatives like first cousins, uncles, aunts that you never knew you had, you can put two and two together and come to the same conclusion.
TootSweet@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
AncestryDNA would absolutely give conclusive proof of either close blood relationship or lack thereof. In practice, it’s just as good as a paternity test.
The only caveats I can think of are:
- Both parent and (potential) child would have to get the test.
- I guess if AncestryDNA just completely messed up and represented some random other person’s DNA as the parent’s or child’s, that would give false negatives.
- Chimerism.
- AncestryDNA might not be admissable in court.
And of those, the first three are just as applicable to paternity tests as they are to AncestryDNA.

I actually missed the part where anon said they got the test for them and their parents.

I doubt this even happened. A dad that raised this kid would most likely not off himself because the mother lied, this seems like I might be the dark fantasy of a typical 4channer
Rolder@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
And if I ever learned something like that I’d take that shit to my grave.
Of course I’ve also learned I have a sister no one knew about because my dad was swinger in college so
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I mean he had been cuckolded to raise another man’s child, and that being his only child too, even a fairly open minded person would struggle with such a revelation

4chan loves stories where women are cheaters or vile, I’m gonna say I doubt this happened
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Wait, what? People would just make up stories on the internet?
crazycraw@crazypeople.online 3 weeks ago
hey slow down there partner; you can’t just go typing out questions like that out here.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Believe it or not, 100% of cheaters who birthed a child were women.
Chakravanti@monero.town 3 weeks ago
Idk about that. Recently heard a story about someone how wasn’t woman and is going to give birth here real soon. A real asshole kind of guy, ostensibly.
All I got was a really detailed set of pictures, though.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
yhea, maybe it’s the dad that cheated and is upset he was found out by the DNA test
brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I concur and posit that anon is homosexual
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Sometimes the 4chan kids can come up with some genuinely funny bits. Shame they couldn’t turn a legit setup into something better than “Dad An Hero”.

Where’d the “an hero” for

even come from?

They love those stories but it unfortunately happens a lot too

Basically a lot of women cheat… and similarly a lot of men cheat. I have no numbers, but I know women usually say all men are cheaters and men usually say all women are cheaters so I’m guessing both genders cheat way too much. But if a woman cheats and has a baby, that baby always becomes part of the family. If a man cheats and has a baby… Either it comes out immediately when the woman in question asks for child support or tells the man’s wife/girlfriend, or it doesn’t really come out because that woman is also in a relationship and wants to pass the child off as her man’s. Plus even if 10 years down the line the woman comes out and says “hey you remember that time you cheated on your wife? Well I’d like you to meet our child”, that’s a lot less personal than raising someone else’s kid as your own and then finding out 10, 20 or maybe 40 years later.
Reminds me I should get a DNA test done while my kid’s age is still single digits. I’m hoping no surprises despite my slut of an ex having been with what I’m guessing may be dozens of other dudes in the <2 years we were together. The whole “pill baby” was so perfectly planned though, that I’m pretty sure she took a break from whoring until she was pregnant. In fact it’s what she did with her first kid’s father - quick break from whoring when she found a nice target, boom, pregnant, and then she was free to sleep with everyone again while he was at work. He ended up paying one of her regulars to take photos of her snaps with a second phone just so he could finally have proof.
But yeah, people on 4chan and many subreddits love women cheating stories. Anything to hate women. I try not to be a misogynist, but having gone through what I’ve gone through it’s super easy to automatically believe cheating stories of all kinds. But to be fair I believe them automatically whether the cheater is a man or a woman, that doesn’t matter to me. I just hate humans.

Uhhhh, hold on a second.
What?
There is a ton to unpack here that I’m afraid I simply do not have the strength for. What I can say is that your perspective is skewed.
People cheat for a variety of reasons. Yes, someone doing something like what you were a victim of is 100% an unforgiveable crime. Your life, your childs life, and the lives of anyone else that has to tolerate someone like that, have been permanently marked by her machinations.
That being said, people also cheat because they’re horny impulsive idiots that seem to think STDs don’t exist, let alone the biggest STD of them all : pregnancy (I’m kidding, childbirth is a beautiful thing — typically).
Not everyone is a criminal mastermind nymphomaniac roping unsuspecting men into… whatever the fuck her goal was. Seriously, you can’t let yourself think like that.
