“Can’t Raise Someone’s Child”: Man Demands DNA Test Before Signing Baby’s Birth Certificate

• A man in a long-distance relationship has refused to appear on a baby's birth certificate until a DNA test is conducted
• He argues that since his lover works at a huge construction project away from him, she could be having several partners
• The woman insists the baby is his, but he is adamant he is not ready to raise someone else's child

A man has disclosed that he's disagreeing with his partner, with whom he is in an ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) relationship.

An ENM means that the relationship is not entirely monogamous, with both parties agreeing to have multiple partners.

The news was welcome, but he is worried that, given the nature of their relationship, he is not the baby's father.

"I am excited for a baby, and happy we are starting a family, however I don't have any interest in paying to raise someone else's child," he voiced.

For this reason, he demanded a paternity test to confirm he was the baby's father, something his lover refused.
