Woman makes a shocking discovery about her boyfriend of six years after taking a DNA test

Sometimes a person might come across information they would never expect to be true. It could change a person's life and relationships forever. Sometimes you'd rather not know. u/LetsSinWith, took to Reddit to share how she found out that her long-term boyfriend was actually her brother. The pair had been dating for six years and would have never thought that such a thing would happen.

"I am 30 and my brother is 32. I'm just going to call him my boyfriend most of the time while I type this. I feel weird about this," the woman began. She was adopted as a baby but didn't know about it until she was in high school. "I didn't feel betrayed or care much. I love my parents and my parents love me. Who cares if they aren't my real parents." The woman's boyfriend was also adopted and it was something the couple bonded over. They were both lucky to find good families and not get passed around in foster homes. "Our relationship was and still is great. We understood each other very fast. We were attracted to each other quickly. I've never met someone and felt immediate attraction and familiarity," the girlfriend expressed.

"Now I know that the comfort and familiarity is because he's my brother," the 30-year-old admitted. The couple met each other's families and lived as any usual couple would. "I'm just glad we both agreed early on that we don't want to have kids so that has never happened. I don't want to deal with the health risks and have to raise a child and they know that their parents are siblings," she added. "I discovered it when we did the DNA test thing to see our ancestry and what exactly we are," the woman explained. "I was excited to see what we were but before I could even get to that. I saw that we were siblings. I was SHOCKED, to say the least."

"I'm really hoping they made a mistake but things are kind of starting to make sense to me now. We always get the 'You guys look so alike' or 'He's the male version of you,'" she wrote. The couple always brushed it off but after getting the results, the woman went through their pictures and felt people were right. "It's freaking me out and I don't know what I should do. I still love my boyfriend/brother and we have been together for six years," she admitted. The couple has a house together and a comfortable life. "I'm hoping that this test is wrong and will do a real test soon but I'm panicking," she continued. The woman later revealed that she eventually told her boyfriend who said he didn't want to freak out until they got a real test.

"But I can tell he is freaked out and it was odd laying in bed next to him," the post concluded. People took to the comments section with advice and suggestions for the woman. u/Brielayna wrote, "Delete the information from whatever company you purchased it from. Delete your accounts. Continue your relationship. Don't tell anyone. In the highly unlikely event that you decide to have children, get genetic counseling (US) if you want your own. Be informed. Use a sperm donor if you want. Adopt! I can't think of any couple being better adoptive parents. I wish you happiness, together." u/MurphyZero pointed out, "At this point, go with it. Royals have done this for centuries. Just be royal about it."

u/Kitcatcath commented, "Once they know what they now know they can't unknow it. Ignorance really would've been bliss in this situation. I don't think I could continue a relationship, no matter how much I love the person, knowing they were my sibling."
