Hi uncle, I'm dad
Today, I found out I'm an uncle. Normally this would be great news, except I have spent the last 8 years thinking I was her father. FML

The OP is male so the kid isn't actually his it's his brother so his wife/girlfriend must have slept with his brother behind his back..

......how does that work? did you have sex w/ ur brother? or sister, whatever gender u r. INCEST!!!!
Jacobt24 19
No because if he had sex it would still be his son. His gf/wife had sex with his brother
daniellems2009 0
well clearly it's says he's a male... meaning his wife had sex with his brother.

You are the most idiotic person on this website.

To all the confused people: OP is a guy. He has a son with his wife, but has just found out that it's not his son, it's his nephew, meaning that his wife slept with his brother and the child he thought was his is actually his brother's.

how does that even work?

he is a guy and his wife slept with his brother

Is this FML REALLY that hard to figure out? I mean seriously, people. Sheesh. OP - Ouch. Divorce your wife and claim custody? You should probably talk to her first, though. Unless you found out by talking to her, in which case proceed to divorce.

how could he get custody of any kind over a kid that wasn't his to begin with? wouldn't the child have to stay with the wife or go to OP's brother?
fthku 13
The brother that didn't raise or support the kid for 8 years? I doubt the brother doesn't know it's his kid, and even if he didn't it shouldn't matter. OP raised the kid for 8 years, while his wife has proven that she's not the best example for the kid. Unless OP is himself unfit. You don't have to be blood related to get custody of a child, and in this case he's the mom's husband, and he IS blood related to him, just not directly. Point being, OP can fight for the kid. If he wants to, of course. Maybe he doesn't want anything to do with the kid now.

He's not necessarily a husband, he could just be her boyfriend. And he could fight for custody but it's going to be rather difficult.

His wife cheated on him; she slept with with his brother, and got knocked up. OP, FYL indeed.

nephew** and I'm guessing his brother had sex with his wife and he thought it was his kid, which turns out to be his brothers therefore it's his nephew rather than his son.

bet you wish you woulda had that DNA test done lol
sourgirl101 29
If they were identical twins, their DNA would be exact and there would be no way of telling who's child it was. Thank God this is not the case.
krysxkatastrophe 14
174- Nobody has the same exact DNA, not even identical twins. How do you think they identify twin babies who get mixed up?
sourgirl101 29
"If the two alleged fathers are identical twins it is not possible to identify the biological father because identical twins have identical DNA profiles." Your case may be different because the paternity test also has the mother's DNA to consider. So, I believe I'm correct!

no your still not correct
DocBastard 40
There are some very subtle differences in identical twins' DNA, especially copy number variations. Now that this is settled, can we get back to pointing out the obvious to all the morons who still don't understand this FML?
skatingzooyork 0
Most normal family's don't need a DNA test to prove a child his theirs! But sometimes, crap happens!

hey I'm not a moron....it just took me a bit longer to understand this FML LOL! bit I get it now!!

who you sleep with
Shadow_Phantom 26
Judging by the fact that the OP's name is Ben... I'm pretty sure he didn't sleep with anyone.
