According to him, they are always careful and use protection even though he knows that isn't always 100% effective.

The news was welcome, but he is worried that, given the nature of their relationship, he is not the baby's father.

"I am excited for a baby, and happy we are starting a family, however I don't have any interest in paying to raise someone else's child," he voiced.

For this reason, he demanded a paternity test to confirm he was the baby's father, something his lover refused.

The man now maintains that without proof, he will not appear on the birth certificate and will be moving out so that he is not said to have acted as a parent.
