My Boyfriend Is Now My Brother!!!!! Posted: 10-15-05 03:11am
It sounds horrible I know! I want to
know if I am over reacting and how should
I handle this situation.--i have been with
my boyfriend for 6 yrs. Both of our
parents have been divorced. My dad has
been re-married and divorced the same has
also happened with my boyfriends mom. 2
and1/2 years ago my dad was introduced to
my boyfriends mom while she was visiting
us. Not even a month later we found out
that they had been writing and talking to
each other daily. Soon after that they
were very close and tried to hide their
feelings because they felt they were in
the wrong because of my boyfriend and i.
My dad talked to me about how I felt and
he said he wouldn't be any more than
friends with her if that is what I wanted.
I was happy for my dad because he was
happy being with her and he had been so
depressed from his last marriage. I told
him it didn't bother me and I didn't care.
Well now they are getting married and I
am deep down inside furious! I never
thought it would get this serious and I
never imagined that they would get married
before my boyfriend and i! I have mixed
feelings about my relationship with my
boyfriend now-what if we were to split up?
We still will have to go to the same
family functions-or, what if our parents
got divorced? We would have to pick
sides and oh my gosh!!!!Who knows what
will happen! I just feel like my life is
completely off track now and don't know
what to do! Help!!

Ohh. I'm sorry you have to go through
this. How old are you? As long you
aren't so young that you and your
'brother' would have to live together as
siblings, it's really not a big deal. It
may be frustrating to explain for the rest
of your lives (if you plan on getting
married or whatever), but that's life.
Me and my husband are different races and
people have asked me if our children are
mine when I am alone with them in public.
I get angry sometimes, b/c people can be
so ignorant, but that's life. I will
have to deal with this forever I suppose.
Unless, my girls start to look more like
me one day *praying!!*.
I'm not sure what exactly you're upset
about, but if it's what other people
think...You've got a life time of other's
opinions to deal with. Do what's right
and what makes you happy. I hope it
works out for you.

Meh. I knew two girls whose parents both
did the same thing. They both ended up
dating/sleeping with their step-brothers.
Water under the bridge. Just as long as
you're okay with it and he's okay with it
- then who cares what other people think?
You're not blood related. :) cheers.
