My friend is marrying her BROTHER and no one seems to see the problem with it

A young woman feels unwell after her friend announces her engagement to her own stepbrother.

The woman said the young couple, in their early 20s, have been dating for two years – and started meeting after their parents got together.

She said angrily on Facebook: ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with people, how can they support this’.

She explained that the couple went to high school together and were technically step-siblings since their parents are also together.

‘How are you going to explain to your children that your step-grandfather is also your grandfather? It is more than a mess,” she said.

She added that the bride-to-be’s sister is also dating the groom’s cousin.

“Why is this family so supportive of incest?” she asked.

But the woman, who posted anonymously, was criticized by dozens of people who told her to “mind her own business.”

“Imagine being so bothered by someone else’s relationship,” one woman said.

“Sounds like pure jealousy.”

Then the people involved saw the post and recognized themselves as the characters, even though the names had been changed.

‘I’m the sister.. dating the cousin.. we’re not biologically related. There’s nothing wrong with it, get a life or come to me if you want the facts,” she said.

Another person close to the situation said: ‘The kids actually got together around the same time as the parents and no one knew about either situation until they had been dating for a few months. They love each other and that’s what counts.’

But some people couldn’t get past the close bond.

“Every family dinner would be a double date, this is so wrong,” one woman said.

Another agreed: “Someone should have broken up in the beginning. This is way too close for comfort.”

“The big sister dating the cousin tells you exactly how weird this family is,” said another.

The woman couldn’t believe how cool the people were in the relationship

But the big sister also objected to this idea.

She explained that she and her partner (her stepbrother’s cousin) had met on a night out and knew nothing of the family connection.

“We worked it out and just laughed. He is my person.’

Other people came along to reveal that they were having relationships with their own step-siblings.

‘I have been married to my stepbrother for eight years and have three children. But he was never my stepbrother; he was always my soulmate.”

The post was quietly deleted after nearly 100 people sided with the family.

In Australia it is illegal to marry siblings, including half-siblings. But step-siblings are not covered by the law.

You can also legally marry your own stepparents, as long as they have not adopted you.
