'My fiance is adopted and fears we may be related, but I refuse to get a DNA test'

A man has taken to the internet for opinions on a recent odd request from his wife to get a DNA test in order to ensure they are not related.

The 27-year-old took to the popular Reddit forum, ‘AmITheAs*hole’ to tell his story, and didn’t quite get the response he had hoped for.

He explained that his 26-year-old fiance was adopted at birth, and has never had any contact with her biological family.

She read an article in recent weeks that spoke about a married couple - who were both adopted - finding out they were in fact related, six years into their marriage.

He wrote: “So my (27M) fiance (26F) is adopted. She was adopted at birth and hasn’t had any contact with her birth family.

“She read an article a few months ago about a married couple who were both adopted and found out they were biological siblings 6 years into their marriage. Now, she’s worried that might be us, even though I was not adopted.

“I’ve explained to her over and over again that my parents have been faithful to each other so there is no way we are siblings. She still wants us to get tested in case there is an uncle or other relative of mine that slept around”.

He went on to say he thought she was being “ridiculous” and that he didn’t want to waste money on a DNA test, nor did he want his DNA information in a place where it could be accessed online because “it weirds me out”.

He told his fiance he was not comfortable with her getting the DNA test either because “I don’t want her to find out she’s related to bad people and then be upset.

“I also don’t want half of my future kids' genetic makeup sitting in some “confidential” corporate database”.

After having a final confrontation on the topic, he says he “may have crossed the line,” and that “she’s not answering any of my phone calls or texts” anymore.

He said “I still don’t want either of us to do the test, but I have a feeling this isn’t going to blow over”, and then asked if he was being an as*hole in this situation.

Much to his surprise people have been jumping to his wife’s defence, and one reader even said “yes, you are the as*hole” while another called him “nuts”.

A third person wrote: “Dude you could just go to your medical provider, explain the situation and have them run a comparison.

“It’s really not rocket science and the results don’t need to be stored or skeletons unearthed, but it is an easy way to get the answer your future wife is after and settling her mind”.

Another slammed the man’s issue by saying: “Valid concern? Not really to be honest”.

A fifth person responded saying: “You threw all her fears back in her face. You've made no effort to ease her anxiety. You've basically called out her ancestry as "low".
