Do No Evil – A pair of twins who were adopted by separate families as babies got married without knowing they were brother and sister, a peer told the House of Lords.
Can you imagine the idea of being married to you sister, then finding out your related. Those feelings don't come with on off switches, I feel so sorry for them.
You're right about the on-and-off switches Jaydee.
So is it too much to hope that since they did find true love it isn't just going to disappear down the drain. Having found their "missing half" can still give them a much richer life than they would have had otherwise - and a family relationship may tarnish even less easily than a gold band.
A writer friend of mine was recently found by a long-lost 1/2 brother whom he didn't even know existed.. Too convoluted to detail fully here but here's a link: http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,19...
The odd thing is that the story reads exactly like the fiction that he writes.
Not giving you a hard time.
The long lost was a FULL brother, who was the result of an affair Ian's mother had with Ian's father prior to the death of her husband.
Yes on the convoluted thing.
Sorry I gave you a neg till I suddenly realised that you're absolutely right SM!
I forgot that bit!!
The baby was born while her husband was away fighting, swiftly put up for adoption before he came back.
Then he died.
I haven't seen Ian since this happened; the last time was in Prague about 5 years ago. I just sent him an e-mail a couple of days ago, after this post, but he's changed his address. It used to be "ulysses@...."
His former wife, who had once interviewed me in the 70's for an article about people with strange occupations, which was never published, based on legal advice, came to a Conference which I organised in 1997 in Prague. Ian showed up a couple of years later for a reading.
Some very strange things went on with their divorce; e.g. her new partner took the name "Ian McEwan" by deed poll!
That was my first reaction too. One of extreme sympathy for the two of them. It must have completely broken their hearts. At least, on the plus side they now have each other as brother and sister for life, something that up to now they were both unaware of having.
...sure, they know that they are brother and sister, but do you really think they want to be around each other now?
Think about it. It would probably be better if they had never met.
That depends on the nature of their relationship. If its only basis was passion, then it will probably be too painful for them to be together. If, on the other hand, they started as best of friends who just wanted to be together because they enjoyed each other's company, then I think they can carry on just fine as brother and sister. And by the way, the friendship model is a much better one to base marriage on as well. Passion is ephemeral. There is such a thing as a friend who sticks with you through thick and thin.
They will fit right in in the rural areas of Georgia or Alabama.
And I'm sure you would not bring up anything OT.
If you think that gay and incest are the same topic, I think you should keep your head down when the pro-gay lobby is in town. Make sure you don't bring up child molestation and animal abuse. They don't like those compared, either.

You think that because he is not pro-gay marriage, he is pro incest?
Jeez, even with my Irish genes turned up full, it makes no sense. Maybe I need some more black and tans, and than I'd figure it out.
This might offend the religious right. But if I found out that my wife was my sister and I had never known it I would not divorce her.
The time to know this information is before the relationship starts. After the marrage it's too late and everyone should have just kept quiet.
You can't put the genie back in the bottle!
And how do you keep "everyone" quiet.
I agree with Justice, how can you ever go from being lovers and a married couple to siblings, I just don't see it happening that easy. But if nobody told you could pull it off if your willing to put up with the mental part of knowing what your doing, that would way heavily I think.
I agree as well. Stay married. Love is love, and theirs came the normal way, before the discovery of being at odds with incest taboos. Not their fault, should not be their problem. Having children could of course be problematic; artificial insemination is one solution, if they can accept it emotionally.
How awful for these two people. I hope they are strong enough to come through this and have a relationship as brother and sister in the future and forget the past as best they can.
For argument sake what about if they decided to stay together and live as man and wife but not have children, or maybe have children? Would you still be friends if you knew them knowing the full truth? It's a hard thing to decide, if my wife turned out to be my sister I don't know if I could walk away from that. I believe real love only comes once and my heart goes out to them.
