Do you have kids?
I remember when my wife was pregnant with our first, I kept half-joking about getting a peace of mind paternity test.
After actually meeting the kid and getting to know our love her, I couldn't think of anything more devastating than finding out she's not mine.
Honestly wouldn't want to know, because losing my little girl would be worse than misallocating resources or whatever the Darwinian theory would be.
As someone else pointed out in the thread.
The question wasn't would you want to know. The question is does a father have a right to know if they want to.
You may find being willfully ignorant acceptable but that’s really not the norm. I do have kids. If I knew they were not mine I would not leave them but I would have kids that were biologically mine. Either ways I want to know.
Oh sure, I totally understand that. I wouldn’t care a bit about genetics in that case.
Imagine a different scenario though. Imagine you are on the point of breaking up, or even already separated, and she is suddenly pregnant.
