When I was 17, I found out that my dad wasn’t my father. Because I was an idiot teenager/curious I searched social media and I also had found out that my biological father had another kid so I had a half sister, technically. Her and I talked for a while, she wanted to meet up but I wasn’t really into it. It felt like forcing a friendship. Life moved on.
Whenever people ask if I have siblings I say no. I don’t feel like it’s a lie because she and I weren’t raised together and barely talked.
Well, when I started dating my boyfriend we did the whole “do you have siblings” blah blah. I said no.
Then the other day (together a year now) we were talking about family nonsense. I said that my dad wasn’t my father and that when I was 17 I found out I had a half-sister. I was expecting him to go “wow weird” or something but he got weird and said, “well you said you were an only child so you lied”. We went back and forth for a while with me explaining and re-explaining, then he dropped it.
Then the next day he brought it up again. How “it’s weird that I lied about having a sister” and “he’s so close with his brothers he can’t believe someone wouldn’t want a relationship with their own sister ” “I lied about that so what else did I lie about “. He’s been acting weird since.
My parents that raised me don’t have other kids. My friend said he’s probably mad because it took me a year to tell him.
Why is he so petty, its not even his effing problem.
Here are what netizens think:
- He is breaking up with u, and using a pathetic excuse
- Your biological father isn’t a dad to you and never has been. Therefore it’s more than reasonable to not consider your half-sister your sibling. You didn’t grow up with her nor do you know her.
- I really dislike your bf saying you lied. There is something wrong with him for reacting so accusatory towards you. He is twisting your situation. At the very least, he should ask about how you felt about discovering you had discovered a biological relationship.
