[quote=Anonymous]Back in 2004, I became pregnant with my son.  The only "relationship" I can recall was with my husband, on election day night.  Two weeks later, I was on a business trip and had too much wine one night.  I recall a cohort hitting on me, trying to kiss me, but I declined given that I was married and had zero interest.  However, I do remember feeling especially dizzy that evening, surprising given the wine I had.  Woke up the next morning in my hotel room, no problems at all.

Fast forward 12 years later, I am looking at pictures of my son, who continues to bear virtually zero resemblance to my husband.  However, I am friends with the aforementioned cohort on Facebook and am jaw-dropped amazed at how closely my son resembles him.  Anyone objectively would certainly say that my son resembles my cohort far more than he resembles my husband.  Now it's making me wonder if perhaps my cohort dropped something in my drink that night back in 2004 and took advantage of me afterwards.  My pregnancy test became positive exactly two weeks after that business trip evening (or, alternatively, 3.5 weeks after election day evening celebration).

Before I totally freak out, I realize that one child can bear zero resemblance to one parent and very close resemblance to another.  However, I'm thinking of doing a paternity test secretly - perhaps I could say it's under the auspices of a lineage DNA test - just to clear my mind once and for all.  But if it turns out that my son is not my husband's son, holy hell, that would be a huge landmine.  I think I need to do this just for a peace of mind and for closure.

Any thoughts, ideas, or recommendations?[/quote]
