Life is a wild ride, at times even tumultuous. Despite the challenges it presents, it also offers you experiences that will become treasured memories to reflect on until your time on earth comes to an end. The surprises it holds can flip your world upside down with incredible opportunities, but it also pushes you to your limits and can leave you feeling vulnerable and defeated.
Changes will occur, and sometimes you'll barely recognize yourself. You'll say goodbye to dear friends, question the choices you've made, and contemplate the purpose of your existence. Life can be tough, but that's what makes it all the more interesting. If it wasn't for the unpredictability, it would be mundane. These stories inspire us to anticipate the unexpected twists and turns that may come our way.
This woman turned to Reddit’s r/offmychest community to reveal that she and her long-term partner are actually biological siblings. The startling and life-changing tale has being uploaded a few months ago.
"At 30 years old, she discovered that her "brother," who is 32, is actually her biological sibling. Adopted as a newborn, she was unaware of this fact until her high school years. Despite this revelation, she remains unaffected and grateful for her loving family, feeling neither betrayed nor concerned about the situation."
Her story,
" ------
I just found out that I've been dating my biological brother for 6 years.
I am 30 and my brother is 32. I'm just going to call him my boyfriend for the majority of the time while I type this. I feel weird about this. I was adopted as a baby but I didn't know that I was adopted until I was in high school. It didn't feel betrayed or care much. I love my parents and my parents love me. Who cares if they aren't my real parents. My boyfriend was also adopted and when we met it was one of the things we sort of bonded over. We both didn't learn we were adopted until high school and we both were lucky and had good families. We weren't passed around from foster home to foster home.
Our relationship was and still is great. We understood each other very fast. We were attracted to each other quickly. I've never met someone and felt immediate attraction and familiarity. Now I know that the comfort and familiarity is because he's my brother. Not my half brother. He is my full brother. We've done everything a couple that has been together for 6 years could do. We've said we love each other, we've had sex, we've celebrated anniversaries, we've met each other's families. I'm just glad we both agreed early on that we don't want to have kids so that has never happened. I don't want to deal with the health risks and have to raise a child and them know that their parents are siblings.
I discovered it when we did the DNA test thing to see our ancestry and what exactly we are. I ordered two for us, we spit in the tube, and sent it out. It took like a month for the results to come back and I was excited to see what we were but before I could even get to that. I saw that we were siblings. I was SHOCKED to say the least. I only just found out this information and I haven't told my boyfriend. I'm really hoping they made a mistake but things are kind of starting to make sense to me now. We always get the "you guys look so alike" or "he's the male version of you." Long before this test we've always gotten compared. We always just laughed it off but I have spent the morning looking at pictures of us together and realizing that we really do look so alike. It's freaking me out and I don't know what I should do. I still love my boyfriend/brother and we have been together for 6 years. We have a house together and a whole comfortable life. I'm hoping that this test is wrong and will do a real test soon but I'm panicking. I still see him as the love of my life

I posted this the other day in but since then I showed him the results and he realized that we're siblings. He doesn't want to freak out or make any big decisions until we get a real test somewhere. But I can tell he is freaked out and it was odd laying in bed next to him "
