What...what does this even mean?

Men are usually right 30% of the time?

So the average man is right 3 times out of ten when he suspects cheating?

Yes, but the key is that he suspects or has low confidence in paternity, which is indicative of a specific kind of relationship (dysfunction, screwed up, etc). He suspects for a reason. I wouldn't call that the average guy. What percentage of men suspect in the first place? It's a low number off line to start with, so 30% of the time that low number of men are correct. This site discusses and cites paternity fraud statistics.

Misattributed paternity rates and non-paternity rates

Seems like they're against men having the right to know if it's his or not. If he does, they'll end the relationship or divorce over mere doubt.

In that case, a man should move on if he has doubts. That's what I did and it turned out she confirmed my doubts.

Of course they have the right to know if it's his or not!

I also have the right to leave if he can't trust me with something so life changing as a child. Like I said, I'll gladly submit to a paternity test, but I can tell you the relationship (if there is one after that) will never be the same.

Hello, that's the point. You're getting mad because he wants to be sure over such a life changing situation. You want the ball in your court when it comes to his life? Wow. Going into a life changing situation blind and without everything on the table. Getting offended over that is very unreasonable.

I'm not mad at all, nor am I offended. I'm just stating that if he thinks I cheated (and he would be assuming I did if he demanded a paternity test) that the relationship would be irreparably damaged from my standpoint. Like I said, I'd gladly give him the paternity test but after that there would be a good chance I would be done with the relationship. If he can't trust me, why would I trust him?

Same as a coward that abandons his unit on the battlefield. Gutless slime.

In that case, men should hold on to getting married then. That way they can find out the truth of their paternity. If they're not the father, they can move on without dealing with stress in a divorce had they got married.

Once you get put into a life changing situation you shouldn't have to rely on trust alone. It's a life changing situation for you. Your life is about change. You take command of it.
