~~Probably a boring answer but~~ I know my grandmother's credit card information. I live with and help take care of her, so she doesn't mind sharing it with me. Not like I'm planning to do anything nefarious, but I guess technically it could ruin her financially.

I know someone whose husband thinks her daughter is his but she isn't. (She isn't my daughter either lol.)

You should tell him. That's fucked up.

To the contrary, it could fuck up several people's lives if someone were to interfere with their peace. It's just part of human nature that males can not be that certain about their offspring.

Wow what the actual fuck is your problem? You've clearly got some fucked up shit going on in your head that you need to work on. I see a lot of assumptions about reality that are absolutely off base in your horrendously delusional comment.

Fwiw its not their place really to get involved, but man did you go off the deep end.

It's it possible that you read too much into this?

Barring extreme situations, when a baby is born the mother knows it's hers because it literally comes out of her. But the biological difference is that nine months ago the father was used to make the baby... he thinks. But most of the time, he doesn't truly know for sure.

Anyway, that might be what they were going for...

Exactly, thanks.
I could also have said something about misguided patriarchic structures but if they react like that just on female promiscuity, such an effort would be wasted.
(Yes i mean to say that monogamy is an invention of male dominance cultures.)
