They already plan genetic testing, but a single generation of half relations is statistically unlikely to be any level of serious issues. It's not like it can actually be changed.
That's how I discovered I have a half brother I never knew about. He contacted my mother (we share fathers but he contacted my mom because dad had already passed) looking for whatever medical history he could get.
Maybe we can limit closed adoptions, but this scenario will always be a risk (in the US and some other countries) due to Safe Haven laws. And we can't get rid of Safe Haven because genetic info is not worth giving up our final defense against newborns being abandoned in garbage bags.
you are incestophobic, if you were to decide thing the beautiful love connections and kids between op and his sister could never happen. Let go of your hatred and try to love yourself, get your mind open
@@actuallyalias You make a very good point. Though Safe Haven Laws should be strengthened, especially since -- in many states -- women are forced to give birth, regardless of circumstance.
The last story- Did dude seriously think that he could just spontaneously decide that his soon-to-be wife should do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, AS WELL AS WORK A FULL TIME JOB?! DID HE THINK THIS THROUGH AT ALL?
Some people fall for something like this, and some people fall for pyramid investment schemes. All he thought was that it sounded great to him, and not so much the "is this really going to work the way I think it will" part.
The dude in the second story probably wanted to let op continue working only because she made more than him but he would’ve controlled all the money she brought home
That would be a definite. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted the account in his name, he gives OP a meager allowance, and she needs approval from him to make withdrawals from the account.
The first story is the weirdest story ever. From the title I thought it was going to be some serious Alabama nights story, but getting into the HLA I started thinking it was an invetro doctor doing some nutty in other peoples batter jar making dozens or hundreds of kids. But this was even more wild than I could have ever imagined.
Wouldn’t even have to be a nutty doctor. I read a story about a couple that got engaged. When the families met, the moms got talking and found out both kids were in vitro from sperm donors at same clinic. Just wanting to be safe, parents checked it out and yep same donor.
@@TallyGenie I know that one. The kids there have to literally leave town to find partners because there's too much risk of dating a half-sibling locally.
The first story is actually kinda sad. Imagine being in love with someone for so long, and then you realize you’re fucking related and created incest babies.
Remember, the couple only share half their genetics. So, there is a real possibility that there will be no issues for the kids due to incidental incest.
@@c0nfusedindividual BTW even from a single generation of full sibling incest, you're unlikely to get negative effects. The real problems come when it happens over several generations, as genetic problems that would usually be filtered out accumulate.
Story 2: I'll never understand this trend of "I want her to be a TRADITIONAL wife, but also she needs to work full-time." Like... What? What is this thought process? The heck?
Basically, it's the whole, "I want my Cake and Eat too" bit. It's the now EX wanted to have all the money and be the "Rich Husband" to flaunt around especially to brag about in the Podcast (which is sexist and very misogynistic from what I've heard). And literally, be the one at the "Head Table" while doing absolutely nothing. The Wife brings home the money, cooks/cleanings, raise the kids, does everything for the kids to make sure they're well taken care of, and pays all the bills. While the EX controls everything that goes on, including what the Wife spends the money on, even though he spends it on anything that he wants. It is SO stupid! He panicked b/c he knew he wouldn't be getting anything if they broke up BEFORE the Marriage and that OP showed that she is not weak and has no problem in standing her ground.
They wanna drain everything she has. They want everything the traditional wife gives (caretaking, cleaning, cooking, never talking back) and they also want the benefits of the money (which they will usually come up with some way to control entirely. For ex, my step-dad insisted we needed the entirety of my moms paycheck for bills and "He would handle all that"). They're just adding in financial control to the abuse in a different way than typical
@@lorilancaster5917 Well I intend to be a traditional wife in the sense that I've got limitations that prevent me from holding any job. But I CAN be a decent homemaker. And I'll be marrying a wholesome girl soooooooo It's a bit different to what you see in a lot of these cases. It would actually make me happy to take on that household role while my gal is the breadwinner and a coder. And I'm good with hardware at least LOL Jerks like in story 2 trying to FORCE this stuff though? they can go the way of the dodo for all I care.
I have to respectfully disagree. Nobody’s keeping any secrets from their partners, they both love each other deeply, and everyone is happy and healthy. Statistically speaking, the chances of bad genetics popping up in the first generation from half siblings is pretty low. Truly, what’s to be sad about? Unless OP and his wife put their own kids up for adoption, I seriously doubt that their own kids will ever get involved in a similar situation. Heck, intra-familial relationships is a very popular subject for adult material on the internet. There’s a fair chance at least one of them finds the situation arousing. Just saying.
I genuinely have no idea what I'd do in this case. Inbreeding as a taboo idea is relatively new in many parts of the world. Since the whole inbreeding thing is about who you're raised with and worries of genetic issues, I guess certain exceptions where they didn't know until it was too late kinda makes sense. It's a super complicated situation tho. I think it's a good ending, but it's gotta be rough to discover.
Story 2: if he can flip flop that easily when he doesn't get his way then he is not in a place to be getting married. It's obvious he thought he could you that alpha male BS to manipulate you into being whatever kind of woman he wants and when it didn't work he completely changed the tune realizing you are not stupid and weak, you are absolutely right to dump this douchebag. I also recommend changing the locks and letting your job know that he is not allowed to come near you, just in case.
i think that the scared reaction when she broke up with him was him realizing that all the podcasts and alpha male bs was wrong. because if it was right, then the girlfriend that he had for years who loved him and was amazing wouldn't have broken up with him the moment he started pulling that shit, she wouldn't have gotten together with him in the first place. and now, since he fell for the bullshit, he fucked up one the greatest things in his life and what is he going to do now?
This first story is an emotional roller coaster!!! I must say, OP’s wife is a rockstar!!! She’s such a keeper and OP really is a very very lucky man! I couldn’t help but laugh a little when she saw her husband with the eyepatch and said “the doctor knows we were going for a kidney, right?” Honestly I wish OP, his wife and their kids the best of luck.
EXACTLY!! Even tho they know now that they're half siblings, at least they truly love and care for each other + the family is healthy and their relationship is amazing! They deserve each other, they're so cute and wholesome. ❤
@@AlexxeMJFAN Yes! Sounds like they’re taking all the right steps, making sure they’re kids are tested when it’s safe for them and making their relationship stay strong!
You will be surprised at how many half siblings, or sometimes full siblings, that have never met somehow meet and become married. I even heard about a bloke who married his daughter and only found out when their kid became sick (his daughter/wife's mother was an orphan and died before they met) They were able to continue to be married, but they were told by the courts to never have any more kids.
So, I've never actually been married before, but people always told me you had to do a blood test beforehand... is that _not_ a thing? Is it only in _some_ states? Is is strictly to check for diseases only? Because I'm pretty sure the people who told me at least implied it was to see if you were related, and/or _how related_ you were. Though, maybe they just said "... blood test to see how compatible you are." and all that genetic testing was just my own headcanon?
@@Wendy_O._KoopaThat used to be a thing in some states. As of 2019, that kind of law has been abolished in all 50 states, with Montana being the last to follow suit. (At least according to the first article I found on Google.)
First generation incest children have a very low risk of health issues related to it, especially with half-siblings. The chances are slightly higher, but still very low. Icenst issues that cause severe health problems usually just occur after generation of inbreeding, which is obviously not the case here.
And this is something that OP and his wife can never tell anyone. I don’t know if they can even let their kids know without the truth to spread. Maybe when they are twenty years older?
I agree that the story is wild but it is also sad, in a way. It could've shattered what seems to be a very healthy and wholesome marriage, even though it is strange and weird. All in all, they seem to have the best outcome of the situation; and yeah, it's basically too late to back down. On another note, it could be a good intro to a psychological horror story of sorts, if we change a few details and add more stuff.
ick on that 2nd story. I talked to a guy like that. he wanted to be the man of the house and even though I was going to make way more money than him, he said if we got hitched I would give him my paycheck. He also hated cats and threatened to get rid of my cats one day while I was at work and his excuse for me doing and trusting everything he'd said without question was "I'm a man and older than you" even though he'd never even been outside of the area where he grew up and I'd traveled all over the country and to another country and had WAY more life experiences. When I told him I didn't think we were a good match he said "See you're trying to control the situation." lol I told him I don't need his permission to not talk to him. Buddy laid out a red carpet of red flags.
RSlash. You're saying the phrase wrong "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb" It means your CHOSEN family is more important than the family you were given. Because you choose who your real family is *Edit for spelling correction*
@@YourXavier Not to mention toxic. So many people end up abused by this bizarre sentiment that blood family comes first no matter what. It is SO important that people know they can choose who is (and is not) their real family.
I've always said "Family niether begins, nor ends, with blood" since there is no documentation that was the original phrase. It gets the point across in a short and succinct way, while also acting as a rebuttal to "Blood is thicker than water".
I was raised in a traditional gender role family. Story two: the guy is stupid. The dynamic he wants is not traditional. It is sexist. A true couple is a team. My dad is the breadwinner and my mom is a stay at home mom but they are two sides of the same coin. My dad has NEVER denied my mom something she wants. The moron from story 2 needs a reality check.
My dad was born in the 60s and was very much a traditional men and he would've never consider my mom anything lesser than his equal. I can imagine if he read this story he would've laughed at the idiot 'alpha' for getting blowing his relationship this bad.
Not only that but the way he demanded that she just suck it up and lay there and let him passionately hug her even if she felt unwell was forced coersion a step away from R*pe. "How dare you put your needs above mine!" Like, honestly.
Story 2 : good thing he showed his true colors pre marriage.... Update: yup..thankfully the a hole showed who he truly was before marriage.. The douch ex :" op should still work but give me her money and with my money I'm rich"..
At first I thought he would also try to baby trap OP. Then I figured he likely wants her to keep working so he has her money and likely doesn’t want to share HER resources
@@itsOasus Too little, too late. If he truly learned from that, maybe he gets a second chance with another woman, but I wouldn't be surprised if that dude inadvertently resigned himself to be eternally single.
Also, story 2 If they start on that “alpha male” bullshit, just leave because it ain’t gonna be easy to snap them out of it. Take note how fast he crumbled once OP wasn’t taking that nonsense.
As a woman consensually in a traditional gender role relationship, that girl in the last story was 100% in the right. Her bf was displaying toxic and borderline abusive wants/behaviors. I'm disgusted by his behavior and perception of what it means to be the man of the house.
their kids will be fine, setting aside ethical implications, on a purely genetic bases, an animal can have offspring with its first cousin every generation or its direct sibling every-other generation, and not have any negative issues. while im not sure how sharing only 1 parents affects this. its clearly nothing to worry about. ( cheetahs have terrible genetic diversity and are my favorite animal, cheetahs are so genetically identical they are nearly all clones, any cheetah on earth can donate blood or organs to any other)
They'll probably be fine, the percentage of they having a genetic disease or something is really low for now, I do hope that OP's kids do not have the same fate as his father in case the other half siblings do have kids of their own
Blood runs thicker than watwr means the opposite of what people think. It's kind of like when people say "I could care less" when they should say "I couldn't care less." The saying goes back to the gladiator days. The blood shed on the battlefield with you brothers is thicker than the water of the womb you were birthed from.

This is why kids deserve to know who their parents are to avoid these type of situations. EDIT: removed kids will likely have genetic disorders cause it's unlikely in 1st gen but more likely if they bred in their family continuously as an example. Apologies
nah they are half siblings not full siblings and it´s typically not until a couple of generations of incest that you start getting serious problems with genetic disorders. Sure, they will have an increased chance, but not that much. Should they be tested just to be safe? Yes. Is really likely they will have something? Not that much more than any regular person. It´s still super unfortunate and a pretty bizarre situation for everyone involved, but the kids will probably be fine on the genetic level. What it will do to them mentally to find out their parents are half siblings is another story.
@@blackangel6589 half siblings doesn't make it any less unfortunate for their kids, considering you see genetic problems in cousins as well though that is usually practicing marrying cousin to cousin. Stuff like this is sadly more common then we realise because of poor regulations
I'm so glad for the first story that they feel comfortable enough to stay together. If they're healthy, their kids are healthy, and they're going to be transparent to the kids at some point, all is well. Like the wife said; they didnt grow up together, they're not fully related, and this is a comic fluke. Is it mortifying to find out? Obviously. Does this change anything about who they are, emotionally, to eachother at the core? Not really. Good for them for staying calm.
@@theaslam9758 In actuality, the chances of kids having genetic diseases from the first level of incest aren't much higher than non-incest children. It's when it starts to become a "family pattern" that is when issues arise. For children of first-level incest, the chances are only about 6% higher and the doctors can test for this while the children are still in the womb. It still isn't advised for direct relation siblings to have children. Although, a majority of this is more because of moral and ethical reasons rather than medical issues.
@@thomasjoseph5876 that 6% may seem small, until you look at the how unlikely it is for a child to have a genetic disease when their parents are unrelated. It is very small. children born from incest are significantly more likely to have genetic diseases.
@@theaslam9758 6% more LIKELY is NOT significant. It also isn't saying 6% of them will even have genetic disorders. It's just 6% are more LIKELY. And once again, 6% is NOT considered "significantly more". 80% would be significantly more.
Story 1: Man, that was a mess, but at least both OP and his sister are okay. Like, imagine meeting the love of your life, only to learn that they were a sibling you didn't know about. I hope the kids will be okay.
Well, gotta agree that it is too late to back down. They already have two kids and they do love each other. So... What's done is done. On another note, it could work as a psychological horror story of sorts, maybe add and change some stuff.
I died laughing when OP said that he had other dating options if things didn't work out, because there's a possibility he has two other half-sisters. 😂
Oh yeah, if dude “suddenly” wants a traditional marriage, he already had those insecurities and was just looking to validate them. Otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten into those podcasts; he would’ve have laughed at the ridiculousness, shared it with you and quit listening. You made the right decisions. All the way. Good for you. 💜
@@yafooral-kebab3017That’s a strawman. You can also have a traditional marriage without it being oppressive to the wife and you shouldn’t lie to your partner about what you want for years only to drop it on him or her last second. The guy is clearly in the wrong here, and this is coming from a conservative guy btw.
Story 2: Sounds like he always had that "Alpha Male" mentality, where he thought he could just simply take over and OP would let him, but this reality is impossible. He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to present himself as an alpha, man of the house, breadwinner, but doesn't actually want to work for that.
Yes, I suspect he was always like that but he sugar coated op in hopes she will get too attached to the relationship and leave him do whatever he wants. Maybe he hoped she might develop a fear of being single and lonely so he could use it against her and break her into submission.
First Story: They need to track down those half sisters, if for no other reason than to make sure that their kids don't go to the same school as your kids or there could be some VERY awkward prom photos in the future.😁 Second Story: Dude seriously drank the "Assert yourself as the authority in your family and your woman will fall in line and be completely devoted to your every whim" kool-aid. Effed around and found out 🤣
Fun facts relating to the first story from a biogeek: There's something called the Westermarck effect. It's basically a natural instinct to not be sexually attracted to anyone you're around a lot during the time that you're a child, especially a young child. This is why people are generally not sexually attracted to their siblings and parents, which obviously helps reduce incest between people who have never learned why that's bad. But the other factor is that in spite of the Westermarck effect, there's some evidence that people are more likely to be attracted to people who are similar to themselves - which may be a factor in, for example, why the rate of inter-racial marriage is still so low even though the stigma around that is fading out. That's more difficult to define though, and obviously there are people who are the complete opposite and are instead attracted to basically the most exotic person they can find. Still, the evidence suggests that you're most attracted to someone who is like you, but not someone who was around during your childhood. Which means that if someone is adopted from birth and unknowingly meets their birth family they may actually be more likely to be attracted to them than they would any other random stranger. In fact, this is far from the first instance of this I've heard of someone adopted finding out they married a relative. And I've also heard of people who knowingly met their birth family and said that they found them attractive - though they obviously wouldn't act on that attraction in that case. What all this means is that if you - due to adoption or some other factor - do not know who your birth family is, then it might be a good idea to get a DNA test before you decide to have kids with someone. Because that's cheap and easy these days, and you never know, and falling for someone is one thing, but making kids who might have genetic problems is another.
Being over 30 has just as large a chance as first generation incest as causing issues. Unless you suspect your parents did the same you're just being paranoid.
...The title and intro alone has told me this waa gonna be one hell of an epiaode and it is already proving to be EXACTLY that ._. Edit: After story end... Accidental sweet Alabama but wholesome end. 10/10 just, bizarre of a situations
Last story: So this guy was in a perfectly normal healthy relationship for 3 whole years and he ruined it all because he wanted to follow the advice of alpha male podcasts. And his whole idea of it was so stupid, you want her to be a traditional wife but you also still want her to go to work. What an idiot.
Maybe it's a me thing, but I never understood what men find so appealing from these guys. They're superficial and basically trash, no matter how much money they exploit from the rubes or in cases like Tate, women.
We don't know that. Her narration all the way. It could be that she thought that everything was fine because everything was run on her terms, and the guy started to realise his value.
@@bladerunner3314 I’m thinking that when one has been married for 24 years and seeing friends marriages fall apart kinda gives one some insights on female nature and what works.
I'm also adopted, and never knew anything about my bio family. Thankfully, nothing as wild as the first story has ever happened to me. But I decided to finally pursue info because my mental health really went off the rails when I was in my 20s. Long story short, my bio mom was 33 and my bio dad was 50. He died in a motorcycle crash when I was a baby, and she died in 2009. I don't know how, but she had alcoholism, seizures, and schizophrenia, so it's anyone's guess. I've reconnected with both sides of my family through social media, but I'm much closer to my dad's side.
It's very common for opposite siblings who are raised apart to be intensely attracted to each other. Most people love themselves, therefore... And those "Alpha male" podcasters are absolutely the most insecure simps. Those who listen to them are even worse.
I think I heard Rslash read a couple of stories a long long time ago about a girl meeting a guy and liking him, but finding out they are half siblings from her mother before anything could happen 😅 Maybe the other story was not a separate story, but a first post comment, but it had similar experience
"Blood is truly thicker than water." That's not... what that phrase means... The full true phrase is: "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."
I’ve always been a little scared of dating other black people in my area. Mostly because my grandad was a rolling stone and had multiple children in at least three states that I know of. So I have several cousins that I’ve never met in my life.
I am also the result of a closed adoption, and this story is a perfect example of why closed adoptions are a barbaric practice that need to end. Granted, the odds of half-siblings meeting and forming a relationship are extremely low, but at the same time, when it happens, it makes beaucoup trouble for all involved. Because I've never been able to find out anything, despite my best efforts (unsealing my records would take money I don't have), I've never felt the same as others around me. I was the only adopted kid in my classes all through elementary school (kids called me out because I looked nothing like my mom, but I didn't believe them. Then I overheard my maternal grandmother telling a friend, and my reality came crashing down around me), or in my church. Even my adoptive cousins started leaving me out at Christmas. So yeah, I've always been an outsider, unable to learn my true origins, and I've developed a passionate hatred for closed adoptions. When my late wife and I were planning to adopt, we agreed we would be open and honest with the child about it, in an age-appropriate manner, because she saw what the way I found out did to me. Instead, she passed before the adoption was completed, and the birth-mom reneged.
The first story is so funny but not in a mocking way. Im happy the pair can move on with all the knowledge and can be happy together! Glad they're doing well and hope the kids are ok
Not really. He wanted to eat his cake and have it too. He wanted the benefits of a traditional relationship without the responsibilities. It's like when women want a man to take care of them financially but won't do the household chores. It only works if they're partners.
You know, I always wondered about something. In the Matrix, the redpill is considered the choice you are supposed to take. Accepting the truth or reality. But how come people speak about it in a negative way? Did they change the meaning?
There was a story that my dad told me. It started off with this couple that was going to get married, their entire family was over and they were all getting to know eachother. Then someone came by and a family member asked who was he related to, he said "that's my son and thats my daughter.* while he points at the couple getting married. Worst part abput it. They already had kids...
Hey Dabne, I just wanted to tell you that the "blood is thicker than water" is the bastardized version of the original, the original being "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", which basically means "those who you choose to be around mean more than those you were born to". In this context, the marriage to each other and the bond they share is more important than to who they were born from, which means the quote would still fit, just in a different meaning than you knew at the time.
The 1st story reminds me of a show where people find their biological families. A guy had dated a girl in high school, but it felt weird. Later, he dated another girl, but it still felt weird. They all were related. All had been adopted. I felt bad for all of them.
As much as psychology seems to dislike the "Westermarck Effect" and "Genetic Sexual Attraction". there are disproportionately many stories like this. Still, most of it is culture and I can agree with her notion of "we did not grow up together". Like the op points out, he grew up with his adopted family, so those are his family. Although I would like to learn the reaction of their dad if he ever found out... -Fire Emblem 4 flashbacks intensify-
"disproportionately many stories". No not realy. we only know the one who happen. but how many many other sibling who don't know each other meet and ... nothing ?
second story - girl it should've been obvious from the age gap. sure it sounds okay at 25 to be dating a 33 year old. but not okay at 22 to date a 30 year old. i wish people really understood better where the red flags start exactly in an age gap relationship. also, the moment he said he wanted to be the man of the house and you to be a tradwife, you should've told him "okay, catch up to my salary then"
First story; The kids seem healthy and honestly that's all that matters since that is the one big risk with having relations with family. Is it tabu? Yeah, but if they are happy who cares? Second story; girl, RUN!
The other issue with incest is when it is non consensual or groomed. But I’m their case they didn’t grow up together so no grooming and it was consensual. So I am glad they are happy. As for the kids, usually no big issues at just 1 generation:-)
@rebeccajesse4604 as someone who LOVES learning about the passing of genetic....even in 1 generation. Their kids can still get a possible bad recessive gene passed down 😭
@@KomaedasOneTrueHope yup it is possible (not encouraging purposeful incest because it is a danger) but I am hopeful that these kids have a comparatively lower risk than if it was over generations or between full siblings or between child and parent.
The first story; these babies deserve better. They love each other, they have kids together, they want to be together, and by the sounds of it, their babies are doing super well. It's a really fucked up situation, but they didn't know, they fell in love, and it will always be super fucked up and awful. I wish them both happiness
First story: It definitely feels like an ick conclusion, but not their fault or even that uncommon. Glad they get their happy ending and hopefully their kids stay healthy. Second Story: Seems to be a lot of this going around where someone says they’re fine with their significant other’s boundaries and is either lying thinking they change the boundaries or easily swayed. The lucky ones are OP who find out before marriage or kids.
Oh man I'm crying tears of relief for OP #1. I'm so glad they didn't let it change their feelings for each other. And giving the kids genetic testing is the responsible thing to do. Neither of them did anything wrong and I hope they never get harassed irl about it.
That last story, it's not the pod casts, they may have emboldened him but he was already like that, he was just too afraid to say it, until he watched the podcasts.
I feel it is the case with those people who fall for this kind of bs things, pyramid schemes, alpha male, not like other girls, religions, spirituality etc. Inside there is a small belief in that thing and also a desire to be like that/have that and when they find a group that practices the things they secretly believe in, they get it out and feel safe to flaunt their beliefs out loud.
That second story, if a man committed to the whole redpill thing, let it sink our relationship for a while, and suddenly changed his tune when I said I wanted to break up, I wouldn't buy it, no chance! He had time!
There is actually a phenomenon around blood relatives separated before knowing each other then feeling strong, often romantic or sexual attraction, if they find each other again in adulthood 🤷♀️
The first story reminds me of a documentary I saw a few years ago about long lost siblings finding each other and then falling in love and then going on to have a relationship together.
Fun Fact: "Blood is thicker than water" isn't meant about your blood family. It actually used to mean, "The Blood of the coven is thicker than the water of the womb" Meaning that the connections you make in your life and the bonds you make with friends are thicker than the ties of family.
Rslash, as to answer your doubt on the first story on how it was weird OP and his wife felt attracted, that quite probably because of the GSA syndrome (genetic sexual attraction), when close relatives are separated on their childhood or so, never met after or had any kind of regular family bonding and then find each other as adults without the knowledge, they'll feel sexually attracted to each other more than to any other person they aren't related to, I found out about this a few years ago through another (and if you ask far more disturbing) Reddit story
@@nessarolla well, I do warn you it is disgusting, but oh well The Op of that story claimed that he was an orphan because his mother had him when she was 16 or so and left him on an orphanage when he was still a baby, he never got adopted and after getting out of the orphanage, he eventually found a job, one day his job made him transfer into another city, time passed and he felt lonely and such, so one night he was looking for a prostitute to hook up with, he found an older woman and he said he felt strangely attracted to her and she noticed that same attraction to him too, he paid her and took her to his apartment, they did the deed but it didn't just stay there, they contacted other times to do it and eventually she didn't ask for money, they both became a couple and he brought her to live with him, after some time, he started thinking about the age difference and such, so he asked her to make a DNA test together and it came back that they were mother and son, their relationship continued, but she didn't want to have kids, while he did and was asking Reddit for advice, that's the last I hear of that story, I never heard what happened after, some time ago I tried to find the story again to see if there was any update but I couldn't find again
The first story is a nightmare. Imagine getting married and having a family with the woman you love with all your heart, just to find out that your mother in law is your bio mom, and your kids probably have genetic problems further down the road.
Guy in the second story: "It's my way or the highway!" OP in the second story: **takes third option** Guy in the second story: "Wait, that wasn't supposed to happen!"
Me! I started listening and got hooked with my first video. I was a family dementia caregiver and would listen to RSlash while I made our breakfast. She has since passed, but the daily listen has continued!
The forst story was wild af,.got me genuinely emotional. I feel so awful for them that this happened. Can't help but wonder if in some fucked up way the universe meant for it to happen so he could be the organ donor for her 😅
the 1st story is my nightmare. since i found out about my adoption on my own at 30, i've looked back and cringed wondering about the possibility of shacking w a relative accidentally and getting so pissed at the thought!! i feel SO bad for OP! omg
My ex claimed to be an alpha, and described it as "A true alpha has subs to do everything for them, and a true sub derives pleasure from doing whatever makes their alpha happy"
I'm an animal behavioralist and a dog trainer, who has spent years studying hierarchy in pack animals. The thing I find funny about the whole "alpha male" thing is that in a pack, the actual alpha is calm, quiet and confident and rarely does anything aggressive because they don't have to. It's the betas in the pack that are pushy, loud and aggressive. A true alpha keeps order through calm demeanor because the pack respects them. Just thought I would share that for all the Betas out there thinking their alphas. 😊😂😂😂
The first story is similar to a plot line from House. Husband and wife both came down with a very rare genetic disorder. Turns out, the reason they both have the same disorder is because they’re half-siblings. In the comment section under the RU-vid clips of that episode, a lot of adopted people are saying that this scenario is their worst fear.
The first story is actually a common thing that happens when siblings are adopted out separately and don't know each other. They naturally feel a kinship for each other and things get weird
Story 1: good thing that they'll have their children genetically tested. There are some incest related diseases that you probably want to rule out. Since the parents are only half siblings, their DNA can at best be 0-50% related (and 0% for the sex chromosome, due to them being of the opposite sex and the mothers being different), but still it's the responsible thing to check this. I do think it's best if they don't have any more kids, unless adopted. From a social point of view, as long as they are okay with it themselves and no one tells anyone else in the family, there shouldn't be an issue there either, but obviously the kids will need to be told once they are older (for health reasons) and shit might hit the fan then.
"Classic Tate W!" 🤡😈💩 He's the Top G Alpha chad of OG red pill grifters. Classic snake oil salesman. But what do we know, we ain't posing next to our Bugattis are we?
Nah for this guy, I can't blame Tate for it. This guy had a working, happy relationship, and then he took advice from someone like Tate and his ilk that went against everything he did for 3 years. This is like the second guy who was a great husband material, almost became a husband, then shot themselves in the foot.
@@lightning902 I'm happy Tate exists and the sheer amount of relationships that have been destroyed from men thinking it's a good idea to behave like that and you know why? If they're dumb enough to watch a few videos and change their entire relationship and demand "cuddling" imagine what will happen if people stayed with them longer after that change and how much more deeply rooted in their personality it will become when it's accepted, they need that reality check, maybe they'll be a better man on the other side after he rejects that nonsense from his life
@@lightning902 This women only wanted to find a free way out and someone to blame for everything,on her way out! I'm on his side! Women does this shit since Stone Age and get away with it!
I wonder if this story relates to the one from a few weeks ago where the girls family completely shut off the bf after she got pregnant and never told him
That first story… That is several pounds of Nope in a 1 pound bag. If I learned my SO was actually a long lost sibling or half sibling, that would be it. I would tell her about this of course, as I like to think there’s enough positive emotions to give her an explanation, but at that point, any and all romantic feelings would disappear and be replaced with disgust.
“It’s kinda unfortunate that that attraction lead to sexual attraction and not just friendship.” This quote is VERY important, especially in our current society.
Here’s an uncomfortable fact. The reason you find your siblings unsexy, even if they’re supermodels, is the Westermarck effect. Anyone you’re raised with either in a sibling or parental capacity, you will find sexually uninteresting. It is a form of imprinting. The closer the relationship, the less sexy they are to you. That’s why cousin sex is gross but not as gross as sibling sex. And if you went to grade school with someone, you’re probably not into them either. What that means is there’s no automatic mechanism to find your siblings unsexy. The reason the Westermarck effect exists is disturbing: you are naturally MORE attracted to blood relatives. If you ever hear about these long lost siblings who meet fully aware of the relationship and end up having an affair, that’s why. Westermarck exists to prevent that, but it doesn’t work if you don’t meet them early in life. Think about that before you make a sperm donation.
Story 1 is why they used to have blood tests taken when you got your marriage license. My sister and her husband had to get one, because the county told then they look too much alike. My husband and I eloped, and we look a lot alike. The clerk asked us if we were SURE we wanted to go on without a blood test😅
That first story is a bit heartbreaking, but also pretty damn wholesome imo. I mean yeah incest isn't exactly ideal, but it's not the end of the world either. They already have kids together and they're taking the proper steps to make sure they grow up as happy and healthy as possible it sounds like. I wish them nothing but the best. ❤
I hope he will see the whole alpha thing as a cringe phase. I hope he won't fall into the deep and become a crazy stalky nice guy who thinks women are his dead sworn enemies.
For the first story, my guess is that the biomom's family were super religious and the moment she found out she was pregnant, the parents cut the biodad out of her life, possibly moved, and then forced her to give OP up for adoption. Meanwhile, the father, never knowing he had a son out there, met someone new and started his own family.
Possible, but that also makes it even stranger than it already is. You'd think that a very strictly religious family, on discovery that their teenage daughter was pregnant, would be holding a shotgun wedding for her and the boyfriend. Not completely cutting her out of his life and moving her away completely. They must've really really disapproved of the boyfriend for one reason or another.
