Paternity testing?!

So our son was born May 9th and he looks just like my boyfriend. He says he wants a DNA test so he can be sure. That is ok because it's not like us where we know for sure. He is definitely the father and there isn't even a slight chance it could be anyone else's. However, he says that I should pay for half of the test because I should prove to him that our son is actually his. Am I crazy or do you think I have a right to be upset. It's already hard enough that he doubts me, but to tell me I have to prove it?

    I'd be furious! I got pregnant with my first child right after my hubby came home from Afghanistan. Well people got talking that it happened too fast and what if it wasn't his... He came home one night and said he wanted a paternity test. You know what he got? A slap across the face!!!!! Once the baby was born and looked just like him all that went out the window and we never ended up getting one. But I agree with PP and offer to pay for it all if its not his. IMO if he wants it so bad he can pay for it because you already know he is the father. Your not crazy Id be upset too!

    Where I live my boyfriend has to get a paternity test if he wants any legal rights to our baby. I think that is absolutely ridiculous. He is on the birth certificate and our daughter has his last name but I have 100% custody of her. If I had known it would be such a hassle we would have just gone up to the courthouse and gotten married. I agree with PP though. If by chance the baby turns out not to be his then you can pay for it but there is no reason why he can't pay the entire thing if he is so concerned about your baby not being his. Men...

    His doubt.... His business to clarify. And of course his responsibility to pay for it. You know is his, right? You have all the right to be upset.

    My friend in high school had her dad walk out on them because she came out looking Asian and both parents were white. There was no dna test available back then in russia. Turns out her great grand father was Corian. When she was twelve and already in the states her dad flew out to do paternity testing. Sure enough he was the biological dad. The idiot missed out on 12 years of his daughters life.
    Let him do it for his peace of mind but he needs to pay for it. He needs this not u. U don't need to prove nothing to him.

    I agree with PP- he pays if the test shows it's his and you pay if it shows that it's not his (which it sounds like won't be an issue). To drive the point home though I'd make him agree to take you out to a very nice dinner (on him) to apologize for doubting you if the baby comes back showing that it it his (or he can agree to give you a girls night where he watches the baby).
