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, my date told me I have a smile that "reminds him of his grandma." Then he showed me a picture. I look exactly like her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Maybe you're over reacting? Sorry :(

I think you're just looking for something to worry about. Look hard enough, and you'll be able to see that those traits run in a LOT of peoples' families. But if you're truly, deeply bothered by this, consult the most Biology-fluent person you know (no, it can't be Google), and also ask them if confronting your husband about this is a good idea. Do NOT only go on the words of Oprah, Cosmo, and yourself.

Get some contact lenses and you'll notice you nephew's acne. CTFD, you may not have exclusive access to your husband's sperm, but you do have the strongest claim on his other assets. Turns out that sperm in not a rare or valuable commodity.

I hope your suspicions are wrong for your sake. Genetics are difficult to predict sometimes. My daughter I assumed would have had my dark hair and eyes. She has light brown hair, green eyes (nobody in either mine nor hubbys family has green eyes). When she was born, she had platinum blonde hair. I am japanese and italian. hubby is white. And yes she is his child. Physical features are similiar (same smile and eye shape) Just the eye color and hair is diff.

What others have said about genetics is spot-on. Absent other evidence of cheating, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Stop being so paranoid.

It could be a recessive gene you don't know about, now you could possibly cause huge drama with the whole family because you didn't research...just sayin

You never know what you'll get out of the gene pool. Try not to worry too much.
