This narrative is a riveting testimony of how a seemingly innocent conversation during a family meal revealed a deeply buried secret and led to a cascade of dramatic events. The girl’s inadvertent search for blood types led to the revelation of infidelity in Jacob’s family, which ultimately resulted in a confrontation and the breakdown of his parents’ marriage.
The story’s escalating tension and emotional turmoil highlight the fragile nature of family dynamics and the profound impact of the hidden truths that come to light. Caught in the middle of a messy family feud, the girl couldn’t undo the unintended consequences of her question.
After only a month of dating, the girl was taken aback when her boyfriend told her his family couldn’t wait to meet her. Her casual conversation about her college charity work inadvertently set the stage for an unexpected revelation that left everyone in disbelief as they ate dinner.
An anonymous female poster shared her story on the “TIFU” forum on August 29, 2020. She was eighteen when she started dating a young man named Jacob about a year ago.
While Jacob’s mother, who was in her 50s, was a stay-at-home mother, his father, who was in his early 60s, was a mechanic. Despite their brief one-month engagement, Jacob was unexpectedly asked if they could meet his fiancée, painting a picture of a normal white suburban Southern family.
What happened during the family meal?
The girl had the opportunity to meet Jacob’s parents, older brother, older sister, and her newborn daughter at dinner. She started talking about her volunteer work at the university and the evening seemed to be going well.
The girl called her boyfriend to pick her up amid the chaos.
During this discussion, Jacob’s father revealed that he is an O-negative blood donor. Jacob added his own O-negative blood in response.
But when Jacob’s siblings casually revealed that they were both AB blood types, it was a big shock.
Unaware of the consequences, the girl naively asked about the blood types of Jacob’s brothers’ biological parents. She asked if their father was type B and their mother type A, or vice versa. Suddenly aware of a significant shift in Jacob’s mother’s skin tone, she realized that she had unknowingly stumbled upon a delicate matter.
When Jacob’s older sister questioned what she meant by “bio father,” the girl tried to retract her statement, expressing regret for any harm she may have caused. At that moment, Jacob’s father fell eerily silent, his eyes narrowing on his wife’s face as if instantly realizing the importance of what they were talking about. Jacob also seemed to understand what was going on as he put the scene together piece by piece.
Finally, Jacob’s father raised his voice and asked if the girl was implying that his children were not his biological offspring. He repeated what his wife had said in their marriage counseling when she insisted that their children were truly his and that they would never turn against him.
Before marrying Jacob’s father, Jacob’s mother was married and widowed and adamantly denied any adultery. Meanwhile, the father turned to face the girl and asked her to clarify what she had said. She tried to justify herself, tried to get out of the situation, but it was obvious that the truth was now public knowledge.
After doing a quick Google search to confirm his suspicions, Jacob went on a tirade of obscenities at his mother, causing her to cry and apologize repeatedly.
The girl was put in the awkward position of having to tell Jacob’s father in the ninth grade everything she knew about biology, including the fact that the only children he could father were those with blood type 0, A, or B, not AB. Therefore, the only person who could be his biological child was Jacob.
As the hostility grew, the family members started shouting at each other. Finally, the older sister left with a sobbing newborn at her heels.

Jacob’s older brother followed his mother inquiring about his real parents as she retired to her bedroom and locked the door. Jacob was trying to decide if his father wanted to be their father.
The girl called her boyfriend to pick her up amid the chaos. Not long after, her relationship with Jacob ended.
Paternity testing revealed that none of the children produced during the marriage were Jacob’s biological father, eventually leading to the couple’s divorce.
For those wondering how Jacob and his brothers learned their blood types, Mom also gave a brief update. While his sister probably discovered her blood type when she was pregnant, Jacob was donating blood for their school blood drive.
Since the girl was not very close to his family after the event, it is likely that his doctor told Jacob’s father the information he received. She also didn’t know how Jacob’s brother found out what his blood type was.
Response on the Internet
An incredible number of people responded to the woman’s Reddit post. While many commenters recounted their own experiences, others were stunned by how she inadvertently exposed her then-boyfriend’s mother’s adultery.
