Maverick’s star Dirk Nowitzki had to get a paternity test in Dallas because he found out his girlfriend was not who she claimed to be. It seems most famous men have a love child, but I am here to tell you that this is actually not limited only to famous men. It is my experience that 1 in 3 paternity tests come back that the man is not the father.
What does this say about the man and mother of the child? Personally, I do not feel either one are bad people, slutty, or sex addicts. There are several situations where monogamous women get pregnant and have no clue who the father is.
Situation 1: The Breakup
You wake up one day and realize that you dread being around her. She probably realizes you have no tolerance for her annoying habits and becomes naggy out of female instinct. Some men just quit answering the phone because they do not want to hurt the girl. Real men will take the girl to a public place and break up with them. Why a girl would ever prefer a formal breakup is beyond me. My personal favorite was to dump her over MySpace. She will be so pissed at the method that you are off the hook and she won’t even want to try to negotiate to salvage the relationship.
Back to the point, a breakup occurs and it seems she immediately gets a new boyfriend. The next time you see her she is sporting a baby bump. Two years pass and you run into your ex-girlfriend at the mall holding a toddler that looks a lot like you. Time for a DNA paternity test.
Situation 2: The Vacation Fling
I was goody-goody on my Mexican vacations, but I can’t say the same for my guy friends. They were good guys back home. Most were still virgins. However, they were opposite of everything they stood for on the senior trip in 1996 to Cancun. I have one friend who never drinks, but converted to an alcoholic on the plane ride to Mexico. The first night we were there he hooked up with a girl from Plano, TX, and chose not to wear a condom. Being his first sexual experience he realized he did not like to wear condoms and it felt so good he did not pull out. I still tease him to this day that he needs to get a paternity test in Plano, TX.
Situation 3: The Rebound
Similar to the breakup, the rebound occurs shortly after a couple splits. In this version of the story the man finds a rebound. She is gorgeous, she loves to do all the things he does, she loves sex with him, but she also loves 5 other men. At first he felt like the lion and she was an unaware sheep walking right into his lion den. The next thing he knows he is the victim. But by the time he finds out she is dating 5 other guys at the same time he also finds out she is pregnant.
Now you may be saying that although the people in this story were still kinda slutty. Well… that is a personal belief. Abstinence guarantees you won’t have to ever take a paternity test from a scandalous girlfriend, but it does not guarantee you won’t have a wife with a wondering eye. That is Situation 4. I could go on, but that is for another blog.
