Pretty sure that legally your relationship would have to end, since otherwise you'd risk arrest. It'd be a pretty crazy situation in general, though, since it'd also mean that your folks might not be who you thought they were (unless it involved an unknown relationship on your dad's side)

Yeah. Youd most likely have to stop... And thats true. Maybe you find out your father cheated or had a second family. Or one of you were putting up for adoption without either ever knowing. I know some parents that dont tell their kid they were adopted...

What if they were a fraternal twin? That would probably suck, too...

Would you keep dating a "step-sibling" if your parents got married while you two are dating?

You two started dating first, and your parents started dating afterwords but get married first.

I mean as long as you don't have kids there really isn't anything wrong with it. So just get a vasectami (if your even opposite genders) or tubes tied, or both and don't worry about it.

Unlikely, but possible. There were these twin girls where one was white with red hair. And the other was black.

I would. But shot like that happens. Though, the first time I saw it, it was on a show. Its not your fault your parents want to ruin your relationship. But either way, youre not blood related. Only related by marriage. And that doesnt really matter much for others... or shouldnt...

Thats true. You could always just keep a secret relationship going. Especially since you didnt know before. And have probably already done a lot...

Also, I think its spelled with a y...

Sure, realistically, you'd be looking at one of three scenarios:
1) Your father had another relationship. If he was still married, the fact that it's unknown wouldn't be surprising. (Or, if the SO is older, it could be from a prior relationship.)

2) Your mom cheated on your dad with somebody else and your real dad is your SO's father.

3) You aren't related to either one of your parents. While adoption is one option, you could have also been kidnapped. However, if you've ever had a job (or got a passport), odds are you've probably seen your birth certificate so -- unless that was faked -- so this scenario seems the least likely.

4) The unlikely scenario that your parents had a kid before you which they gave up for adoption or, even less likely, that they gave up a younger sibling for adoption. The problem with this idea is that, unless it's a sealed adoption, one or both sides would know the heritage. Plus if you had two parents in common, there would likely be a far stronger familial resemblance which would raise a flag in your parents' minds.

Of course, for most of these scenarios to be feasible, you'd have to live around where the SO was born otherwise it'd be unlikely that you'd even meet. And the shared parent would need to not know about your SO's family (and probably the SO knowing nothing about your family), which is unlikely with any long-term relationship. So the only real scenario that checks off the boxes might be either a one-night-stand (probably with alcohol or drugs involved) or a rape where both you and the SO grow up in roughly the same region (although not too close together because then the shared parent might meet the other one)

Honestly, with all of the variables required to line up just right, it always seems strange to hear these stories because the odds are strongly against this happening on so many fundamental levels.

It's still illegal iirc even if it's between two individuals who can't have kids (either gay or infertile). It's more of a morality-based law, I think. Keep in mind that the US is also one of the only nations in the world that has areas which forbid first-cousins from marrying.

While odd and rare, its not impossible. Even with the amount of stories of this happening, its still a minuscule amount, I think... Though, the resemblance might be the reason why they get checked out, tbh... Though, a string resemblance doesnt always mean something. There are people who have such a strong resemblance to a best friend, that they look like siblings. Also, some may think that the resemblance is a relation issue, but maybe think its super distant like 5 cousin, 7 times removed or something...

I don't think people just randomly decide to check something like that out. I imagine it might more be the result of genetic testing (ie, paternity test or the child develops a rare recessive genetic disorder)

I wouldn't care. I'd carry on as with things as they are now. I don't know her as a sibling. I know her as the only woman that I have ever truly loved. I don't want kids. She can't have more.

Ive heard of that. Or checking for when they want to have a baby, as well...

Not necessarily. I know a couple that only discovered they were first cousins when they started inviting relatives to the wedding and realized they were sending invitations to the same people. They were still allowed to get married, though it helped that she was infertile. That was also cousins, not full siblings, and cousins generally aren't as frowned upon as closer relatives (being completely legal in several states, actually).

This.

But honestly, I wouldn't give a shit if it did somehow turn out to be the case, as long as she wasn't bothered by it either. We're not getting married and we're never having kids, so it doesn't really matter in any meaningful sense. And at this point we've been together so long and had enough sex that even if we stopped tomorrow it still feels like any damage that might be done has already long since been done. Like closing the barn door after the animals have already escaped. And the barn has mostly burned down.

To get really philosophical, though, everyone on Earth is related anyway. We're all cousins to a greater or lesser degree. And biologically we're actually MORE inclined to want to bone people close to us genetically (which is why the Westermarck Effect has to exist to keep us from constantly inbreeding by reflex).

Why would you even use that as an example if it doesn't correlate to the discussion in the least? >_> And if first-cousin marriage was illegal in the state, fertility likely wouldn't have made an issue.

This would actually have a chance of happening with me if anyone found me attractive enough to be my SO.
Still I'd nip that in the bud immediately and just have a sibling relationship. Incest can be hot but not siblings.

I suppose this is the closet to the wind you've got. My mum has had kids after me and my full siblings. They are not my dads kids and she didn't cheat. The kids however as far as I know have been taken into the system. I only know of one of them but there is more. I've never met any of them in person though and honestly wouldn't even know if I passed them in the street.

Something like that happened to me. I should have seen the signs. She was athletically built, bleach blonde hair, wore skimpy outfits everywhere with just a top. Well one day we were fooling around and she tore off her shirt and said "let me tell you something brother!." Thats when I realized that we were related and my sister was infact the hulkster himself.
