AFTER discovering his pregnant girlfriend was cheating, one man didn’t think it could get any worse.
However, when he realised who she was seeing behind his back, the 30-year-old was faced with an impossible dilemma.

In his post, the Reddit user explained that he has been with his 28-year-old girlfriend for five years.
He described how they were “madly in love” and decided to start a family.
“I was overjoyed when I discovered she was pregnant, we held off on telling anybody at first by mutual decision,” he said.
However, the original poster said that he now suspects his girlfriend had an ulterior motive.
He explained that when she was four months along they told both their parents.
The Redditor was shocked when his mother reacted furiously to the news.
His girlfriend advised him to keep his distance while his mother “cooled down.”
After a few weeks, his mum rang him to explain why she reacted the way she did.
“She informed me my girlfriend had cheated on me recently and that’s why she’s upset with the pregnancy, because she knows it’s not really mine,” he said.
The poster confronted his girlfriend, who he said assured him she had never cheated.
“[She] offered a paternity test when the child was born,” he explained.
However, his mum dropped another “bombshell” on him just a few days later.
“[She told me] the person my girlfriend cheated on me with was my own twin brother,” he said.
“This made my mother’s story make a whole lot more sense as one of my girlfriend’s biggest defences of her innocence was ‘How would your mother know?’”
The Redditor said he was “devastated,” pointing out that since he and his brother were identical twins, a paternity test wouldn’t prove anything.
Four red flags your partner is cheating
Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating.
They start to take their phone everywhere with them
In close relationships, it’s normal to know each other’s passwords and use each other’s phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something.
Aaron says: “If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful.”
“You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something.”
They start telling you less about their day
When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you.
“If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don’t want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag.”
“Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it’s an easy way to get caught out,” says Aaron.
Their libido changes
Your partner’s libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron.
Aaron says: “Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren’t there before.”
They become negative towards you
Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify.
“To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven’t walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating,” warns Aaron.
“I called up my twin immediately, who denied the allegations and tried to paint our mother as crazy,” he recalled.
He explained that he has since cut off his twin and moved out of the flat he shared with his now ex.
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the situation in the comments section.
“Sorry to say but if you and your brother are truly identical, and he’s denying that they hooked up, the DNA test will point to you as the father,” wrote one reader.
“You’re going to be stuck with child support.”
“Oh dear. This is a mess. Sorry you are going through it, hopefully the drama will calm down and everyone can see a bit of light,” said another person.
