A man claims that he’s facing a divorce because his wife discovered that he donated sperm years ago without telling her.
Of course, there are a few ways that you could read this particular situation that would definitely be grounds for divorce, but this bloke claims that he did it to help out a classmate, has no feelings for her.
However, there is a biological child involved in this situation here, and he didn’t tell his wife for over a decade, so there’s a fair bit to unpack in this tale. The guy says that he donated the sample to an old classmate way back in the day, before he settled down with his wife, who was unaware of the whole thing.
However, he now also has a child with the woman he donated his sperm to, despite having no existing relationship with her outside of that.
Then, years later, his wife found out the secret. He shared:
“When visiting my parents, my wife and I ran into this family. Their son looks EXACTLY like me, to the point where it was uncomfortable. Their daughter looks like my sister. They introduced us it was awkward but pleasant. My wife was completely blindsided… but I understand. I never bought it up with my wife because when we first started dating kids and fertility was a huge trigger for her because she had been told she would never have kids, But then we started popping out babies so I never felt the need to bring this up because I could legally never be involved with these kids. Like ever. She’s threatening divorce. She’s really struggling with the facts that our kids have siblings. I try to tell her that they don’t that they aren’t my kids and these women (their mothers’) mean literally nothing to me”.
