Quick back story: Ex-girlfriend an I were friends for ~8 years, in a relationship for the last ~3.5 years, ended ~12 months ago (July '15). We had our goods 'n bads, like most relationships. October 2013, we had a daughter. She is absolutely amazing.Found out this morning that the ex- was 'less than faithful' and there's a 50/50 (her numbers) chance that my daughter's biological father is not me. She says she doesn't know who it may be, but she's also a liar so I have no reason to believe that. Doesn't matter.My question is simple but complex: paternity test? Do I really want to know if I am my daughter's father? Yes. Will it change my love for my daughter, either way? I don't think so. Will it change the relationship? I wish I could say no, but it very probably will (such is human nature).I'd be curious what reddit thinks about this, or if anyone has experienced the same (I'm sure I'm not the first)? I feel like I'm rapidly going insane, replaying all the lies told many times over and over. Appreciate any thoughts or advice offered. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/28TxfgZ
