As you might be able to guess, but the baby’s father was, in fact, his brother. "He told me that his wife had been having an affair with his brother since the start of their marriage, which is why he wasn’t interested in having a baby with her. A few weeks later, the husband attended the session alone - this is where the story unravels rapidly." The wife was simply overjoyed and was nonstop talking about it, and although he seemed happy, too, it was as if she barely let him get a word in. So, when they came in for their session and announced that she was expecting, I was glad to see that he seemed very pleased. Now, one of her gripes with her husband was that 'he wasn’t trying hard to enough when it comes to having a baby,' meaning his attitude toward the entire idea was 'meh,' basically. "I had been seeing this one couple for a fair amount of time, and it was clear to me that the wife in the situation was the problem. Good thing the first kid looks like the wife, or there might be questions. Ten years later, they are still together, still haven’t taken a DNA test, and have added a second baby. I asked if they had ever considered a DNA test, and he gave an ardent no! He would never take one because he was sure it wouldn’t be him. By marrying her, he became the legal father. "He married her knowing that because he didn’t want the other guy, who had been abusive to her, to be on the baby’s birth certificate (At that point in time, the state they lived in had a law that if you were married, the husband had to be put on the birth certificate). When he married her, he knew based on timing that he was likely not the father." In one session, it came out that she wasn’t actually sure he was the father.
Now, they were having all the troubles you can imagine when young people rush to get married. They got married in a literal shotgun wedding when she was 17 and he was 18 because she was pregnant. "I was counseling a couple who had a 4-year-old son.
