My father (M53) and my MIL (F45) have secretly become a couple, just months after me (M28) and my wife’s (F23) wedding. And we are disgusted.
I really don’t want to post too many details, but we are pretty sickened by this happening. Today was the day they finally admitted it all. We don’t approve and feel like we need to cut them out of our lives so we don’t have to see them together.
I feel like they didn’t consider how all this would make us feel. One divorced their previous spouse very recently, and the other had their spouse pass away over a year ago.
I also work with both of these parents too, so that adds to the mess… I feel like I need to quit that job now. Has anyone out there experienced anything like this or have any advice?
I really didn’t think my wife would also become my step sister… this is not fun
Netizens’ comments
- Adults whose single parents date other single parents with adult children don’t suddenly consider the partners’ children as their “step-siblings”, just “their parent’s partner’s (adult) children”. Nobody is suddenly related and in incestuous relationships. Just as how a set of twins/siblings getting married to another set of twins/siblings isn’t incest. You remain, as you have always been, biologically unrelated, consenting, adults.
- This mentality at 28 bro? Really? Sure it might be gross but they’re not doing anything wrong. Maybe ask them not to show pda in front of you and life should continue completely unchanged.
- You don’t really get a vote in who your single adult parents date. How does this really affect you, apart from you being embarrassed by it?
- Why are you so angry about this? Don’t your parents have a right to be happy? Act like adults. Be happy for them.
