A woman got the shock of her life after taking a DNA test for fun only to discover an unusual secret and destroy a relationship.

She explained how she came to learn two of her family members have been sperm donors in the past - and one of them fathered more than 40 children this way,

However, the other donor only had one child, according to the information provided on the testing kit.

In response to the thread, ' People whose families have been destroyed by 23andme and other DNA sequencing services, what went down' , she said: "One has 40+ children, is unmarried, and likely lost his last serious relationship after she found out.

"The other only has one donor kid that we know of, but he’s married and has a family. Wife was not happy, but the donation was over 30 years ago.

"I think the lady friend was probably upset because he donated a lot even after he didn’t need the money anymore.

"Like he was trying to make a clan or something. In the other case, I don’t really know why she was upset but I think she’s mellowed out over it now."

Confused how this could end a relationship, one user asked: "Why would sperm donation make their significant others mad?"

While another added: "Some people just don't like the thought of their significant other having biological offspring with other people no matter how it happened."

A third user said: "Maybe it was more about the non disclosure of the donations? Like they need a hey I have donated enough sperm to potentially have 3+ dozen kids out there. But other then that I’ve got nothing."

Sharing their own story, one more said: "I dated a girl that stormed out on a date because I saw an Ex of mine in the parking lot.

"We were seated, eating (I think at a Chili's?), I looked out the window, saw an Ex and said, 'Huh, I dated that girl about a year ago'. She got angry at me and left after accusing me of wanting to be with her instead."

Sarcastically, they added: "Yes, you got me. I chose to punish my intestines with Chili's on the off-chance I see a girl I went out with a few times and had zero chemistry with."

In response, a user shared their thoughts: "As over the top her reaction was, I feel like there's nothing to gain and a lot to lose by saying something like that. At best it's an 'Oh OK' response from her, and at worst, well, she storms out and gets mad etc."
