You are correct. Statistically, any offspring you have would be at no higher risk of genetic problems than the general population. If you want to save the marriage to this idiot, DNA tests would see if you actually share any DNA. 30% of 4th cousins share zero DNA, according to the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. But maybe he wouldn't care about facts.
