Imagine this. You’ve been dating someone for quite some time. Everything is going well until all of a sudden, you see a massive red flag that’s a deal breaker for you. Isn’t it a bummer? Well, one woman came across a HUGE red flag in her relationship but I’m sure you won’t be able to guess what it’s about!
Taking to Reddit, one woman shared that she was in a relationship with a guy and everything was perfect. They were attracted to each other, understood each other, and the familiarity was spot on. They were together for 6 years, were physically intimate, loved each other and even met their families.
All was good until they both had a DNA test done to learn more about their ancestry. As it turns out, they are brother and sister. Biological siblings. Here’s how.
They both were adopted by different families and somehow found their way toward each other. People would always say that they look alike.
“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.”
Now, both the guy and the girl are awkward when they are in bed together, even though they are in love.
“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.”
She went on to add:
“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.”
Now she doesn’t know what to do because she still considers him the love of her life, shares a home with him and has a comfortable life with him.
“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.”

After reading her story, several people took to the comments section to advise her to stay in the relationship. There is no point in breaking a long-term relationship based on a biological technicality. Have a look:
