When it comes to romance, some lines are best not crossed.
Dating two (or more!)
members of the same family.
It was never going to be anything more than fun.
My now husband has always suspected this, and his son knew about his Dad and me."

“I started dating this guy in high school; we were very serious.
We went to the same college and even got engaged.
I graduated a year early and went to grad school on the other side of the country.
I was completely heartbroken, broke up with my fiance, and got on a plane back home.
“Two years later, my brother was getting married, and my ex was the best man.
He met my siblings and parents but was the most fond of my younger sister and mother.
I was heartbroken and still havent forgiven my family.
He and my sister are now married with three kids, and my mom is divorced.”
It was okay, though.
I didnt love her anyway.
We live in a major metropolitan area, too, so its not like the dating pool is small.
Its been an ick factor that, for some reason, weve never really talked about it all.
But come on, its just gross.”
Yep, it was as ridiculous as it sounds.
All men come from the same god."

“A girl I was friends with as a child got involved with two brothers from a large family.
She was in a relationship with one of them in middle school and got pregnant.
After the baby was born, she started cheating with his brother.
In high school, she got pregnant with his baby.
All the drama came to a head one night and ended in one of the brothers stabbing the other.
He was charged with attempted murder.
They now have three kids together and coparent just fine.
The family has since forgiven everyone for the kids sake.”
“My stepdad is my biological uncle.
Because my father is a sociopath, my mum sought advice from my uncle because of their similar situation.
A couple of years later, they started dating and then got married.
The weird thing is?
The funniest (awkward) memory?
Thats how I found out about that one.
Years later, we had a good laugh.”
“A former friend took down a whole set of brothers.
She dated the oldest one first.
I was dating the youngest one, and he cheated on me with her.
Then she moved on to the middle brother.

“This is about my ex-husband’s current girlfriend.
She claimed to have a baby by his nephew, who is a deadbeat.
He never even raised the kid; his mom did.
Four years into it, my ex’s sister became suspicious that this kid looked nothing like her son.
She got a DNA test done secretly, and it came back not his kid.
“During this debacle, I’m married to my now-ex.
I became suspicious, but he denied, denied, denied.
Years later, after our daughter was born, I found out he was cheating with her.
I have no idea how long it had been going on.
Now they have their own kid together, and his family has welcomed her back.
I find it truly so gross and bizarre.”

“My mom had a child with a childhood friend of hers.
Their relationship never evolved past a ‘friends with benefits’ bang out of thing.
They remained friends, though, and coparented well.
He divorced, and they married and had children.
My sibling has cousins who are also their siblings.
Family gatherings were awkward after that.
Elder family members despise the father.
Those children are not accepted by other family members either.
I have never told anyone about it because it feels like aJerry Springerepisode.
It was an embarrassment then and now.”
“When I was younger, I dated two brothers.
Now that sounds bad, but it wasnt intentional!
Guy A and I met in college and dated for four months.
I never met any of his family, and we just werent meant for each other.
Fast-forward a year, I started working part-time at a law firm and met Guy B.
He was sweet and caring and everything I was looking for!
We were together for about two months when he wanted to introduce me to his family.
He invited me to his Moms birthday dinner, so I happily came along.
When I got there, I was surprised to find my ex-boyfriend seated at the table!”
He wasnt upset but admitted it was weird for him.
:/ AFTER that, Guy A and I got reacquainted and back together.
We hid it from his family, knowing how they would think it was weird.
We ended up eloping, and Guy B has yet to know.
Were worried itll be too weird for him.
So, as far as he knows, were just friends.”
“I dated brothers seven years apart.
Initially dated the first one in my early 20s, but ultimately, it didnt work out.
Got married and divorced to someone else.
After my divorce, started dating again and started getting somewhat serious.
Really looked at his family photos in his living room and asked about a specific person in the photo.
It was his older brother from seven years before.
Ended the relationship and didnt tell either of them.
Ran into the first one at a bar not long after, but didnt talk to him.”
“Before I was born, my dad was married to my aunt and had three kids with her.
Then he and my mom her sister did a midnight flit.
My aunt didn’t speak to my mom after that, but she sent a lot of hate letters.
Then he died a year later, leaving my aunt with everything!”
20.“Yikes.
My brother and his wife divorced 20 years ago but remained friends.
They live on the opposite coast from me.
Not long ago, my brother had a medical event that required a lengthy hospitalization.
I flew out to help with decision-making and adapting his home for his new special needs.
While I was there, me and the ex hooked up a couple of times.
Then, after he was discharged from the hospital, they reconciled and moved back in together.
I maintain that after 20 years, she was fair game, but still…awkward.”
“My best friend was dating a girl who had a twin sister when we were in high school.
He cheated on her one night with her twin and got the twin pregnant.
Their son is now 16 and is a really cool kid.
“A girl I did theater with dated brothers.
She was a year younger than Brother 1 and three years younger than Brother 2.
She dated Brother 1 on and off throughout high school and then started dating Brother 2 midway through college.
And these brothers were very close and came from a very close-knit family!
Also, I know for a fact that she slept with both of them and COMPARED THEM TO FRIENDS.
It is weird.”
“I dated sisters consecutively.
Sister number one said it was cool, but it really wasnt.”

Out of the blue, he ended things with her roughly a year before he passed away.
Christmas that year was awkward AF let me tell you.”
