A woman has discovered that the man she has been in a relationship with for six years is actually her biological brother.
Desperately seeking advice, the woman took to Reddit where she explained that both her and her boyfriend are adopted, and after doing an ancestry test to find out more about their heritage, the pair discovered they are full, biological siblings.

"I am 30 and my brother is 32. I'm just going to call him my boyfriend for the majority of the time while I type this. I feel weird about this," the woman wrote.
"My boyfriend was also adopted and when we met it was one of the things we sort of bonded over. We both didn't learn we were adopted until high school and we both were lucky and had good families. We weren't passed around from foster home to foster home.
"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. Now I know that the comfort and familiarity is because he's my brother. Not my half brother. He is my full brother."

The woman then went on to explain that they have 'done everything a couple of six years could do'.
"We've said we love each other, we've had sex, we've celebrated anniversaries, we've met each other's families. 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 them know that their parents are siblings."
Speaking about the shocking results of the DNA ancestry kit, she added: "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.' Long before this test we've always gotten compared. We always just laughed it off but I have spent the morning looking at pictures of us together and realising that we really do look so alike.

"I still love my boyfriend/brother and we have been together for 6 years. We have a house together and a whole comfortable life. I'm hoping that this test is wrong and will do a real test soon but I'm panicking. I still see him as the love of my life."

The woman explained that the couple are hoping to repeat the test for clarity, but Reddit had plenty of opinions, with many believing that the couple should continue to be together, as long as they don't have any biological children.
One person wrote: "No point in stopping now."

"6 years already, y’all did everything a couple could. Throw the test away, don’t tell anyone, and live as if you didn’t know. If you want children later you can have a surrogate," another commented.
