Today, I noticed my nephew has blue eyes, freckles and dimples which don't run in my family or my sister's husband's family, but they do run in my husband's family. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wife and I both have blond hair and blue eyes, we just had a red headed son. FML
Today, I ran into a friend that I hadn't seen in about 5 years. She had her 4-year-old son with her. I couldn’t help but notice her son looked almost identical to mine. He even had a very distinct facial feature that my husband has as well. What are the odds all three of them have the same defect? FML
Today, as I was perusing old photos with my mother, I found one of her with a "childhood friend" at her wedding to my dad. Now I know where my green eyes and blotchy neck birthmark came from, and it's not from the man I’ve been calling "dad" for 40 years. FML
Today, after always laughing when my mom told me to avoid dating any guy with green eyes and thinking it was some weird prejudice, she told me the truth. My father cheated and had at least six other kids. They all have green eyes and look alike. FML
Today, my niece started crying because she thought that someday she'll look like me. FML
Today, my family is too damn close. My uncle on my dad's side just got my aunt on my mum's side pregnant, three cousins from dad's side are dating three cousins from mum's side, and a half brother from my dad is marrying my half sister from my mum. We are the inbred rednecks of this town. FML
Today, I was complimented on my freckles. I don't actually have freckles, just a load of blackheads that won't go away. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend what she loves the most about me. She said it's the fact that I look like her cousin. FML
Today, I was chatting with my optician and it came up that eye colour is determined by parents eye colour, such as how blue and brown-eyed parents can’t make a green-eyed baby. My wife and I are blue and brown. Our 6 year-old has green eyes. I confronted her and she admitted she'd had an affair. FML
Today, I noticed that my boyfriend's sister looks at my ass more than my boyfriend does. FML

Run a DNA test on both. Then kick ass if your poor sweet nephew is your stepson.

Maybe you're over reacting? Sorry :(

It can be possible, don't jump to conclusions just yet.

if it is true, would that mean he's your nephew and step child?

genetics can become dormant and not show up for generations. a man and woman could have brown hair and eyes, come from families with the same, and have a ginger child with green eyes.

Just because those traits don't run in yours or your brother-in-law's family doesn't mean that your nephew isn't his son. Those are all recessive traits and can come up randomly, and even skip multiple generations

All of those traits can be recessive, maybe your grandfather had those, and your sister and you didn't inherit them. Don't be so quick to assume

Don't be so quick to accuse. Your family could carry the recessive traits. And your brother in law could also carry the traits.

Game of Thrones anyone?

Hey, at least he kept it in the family

So those are both recessive traits--if your kid has them, for example, they actually run in YOUR family as well. Your sister's husband may be recessive as well, hence it would look like 'it came from nowhere', but it actually just means recessive (no trait)\recessive (no trait) in that family, with recessive (no trait), i.e. you\recissive (openly traited) i.e. your husband. So in good news, your husband may not be cheating.
