A young woman feels bad after her friend announces her engagement to her own stepbrother.
The woman said the young couple, who are in their early 20s, have been dating for two years and started dating after their parents got together.
On Facebook, he fumed: “I don’t know what’s wrong with people, how could they support this?”
He explained that the couple had gone to high school together and were technically stepbrothers because their parents are also together.
“How are you going to explain to your children that your grandfather is also your grandfather? It’s beyond a disaster,” he said.
He added that the bride-to-be’s sister is also dating the groom’s cousin.
‘Why is this family so okay with 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 upset about someone else’s relationship,” one woman said.
“Sounds like pure jealousy to me.”
Then the people involved saw the post and recognized themselves as the characters even though the names had been changed.
‘I’m the sister… I’m dating the cousin… we’re not biologically related. “There’s nothing wrong with it, get a life or come see me if you want to know the facts,” he 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 any of the situations until they had been dating for a few months.” They love each other, that’s what counts.’
But some people couldn’t get over the close connection.
“Every family dinner would be like a double date, this is so wrong,” said one woman.
Another agreed: ‘Someone should have broken up in the early days. This is too close for comfort.
“Older sister dating cousin tells you exactly how weird this family is,” said another.
The woman couldn’t believe how great people were with the relationship.
But the older sister also disagreed with this idea.
She explained that she and her partner (her stepbrother’s cousin) had met on a night out and didn’t know about the family connection.
‘We worked it out and just laughed. He’s my person.’
Other people chimed in to reveal that they were having relationships with their own stepbrothers.
‘I am married to my stepbrother, have been for eight years and have three children. But he has never been my stepbrother, he was always my soulmate.
The post was quietly deleted after nearly 100 people took the family’s side.
In Australia it is illegal to marry siblings, including half-siblings. But step-siblings are not covered by the law.
You can also marry your own stepparents, according to the law, as long as they have not adopted you.
