RawrrJoJoBabii agony auntI think theres no problem with this.. she's only your stepsister &+ its not as serious as your brother or sister biologically. To me it doesn't seem as a form of incest &+ I don't find it wrong at all. if i was you i would keep on with your relationship. Your parents may not understand this now but they soon will when they realize you guys understand how you feel about each other.

There's nothing wrong with dating your stepsister. I would keep doing it if I were you. Lots of step-siblings date, have sex with each other, and even get married. So I would go ahead and keep seeing her.

lexilou agony auntIts not wrong and it sounds as though you havent really grown up together either.

Cool it for now as you would never forgive yourself if you spoilt your dads chance at happiness. Let them have their wedding and try and wait until the dust has settled. Then take your dad to one side alone and explain to him that there is nothing wrong with this relationship. They are probably concerned about the repurcussions it will have if you have a major falling out, it could easily upset the whole family and cause arguments and side taking.

Explain to him that you are old and daft enough to make your own decisions in life whether they end up being a mistake or not, you cant help who you fall in love with and ask him to be as happy for you as you both are for him and her mother. I wish you good luck x

DrPsych agony auntYou are not biologically related and it is probably not illegal (depends on local law). However, this could be very complicated if your parents do continue with their relationship while your relationship with your step-sister fails. In normal situations you can avoid the person afterwards but that won't be the case with you as you still have to see her at family occasions etc.

It's not technically wrong but it is seen as a form of incest. Probably both of your parents see you as kids, maybe siblings now, and the thought just scares them. Why not try to date other people? You won't lose anything and just keep a frienship with your step-sister.
