Question - (31 July 2007) 6 Answers - (Newest, 29 July 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *mee writes:

I am 16 and when I was 13 my step brother and I started going out. I had fancied him for ages and when he asked me out I was so pleased. I didn't really think anything would come of it, I thought it would probably last a couple of weeks or something, but it didn't. We have been together for nearly 3 years and we both love each other very much but we have been through a lot of crap from people saying we're incest and inbreads but we're neither. We aren't even blood related. So what do you think? plz comment on what you think bout it

it is considered incest if you believe i god, in the bible leviticus 18,6 clearly states that it is unclean. because if your parent married then you are as one family now. its the point of thinking of your step brother as your brother, step mom is in the moms place in your family, you are in the sister place dad is in the dads place. god and hes people believe that when you marry and add step children to the family they are now as full blooded family

What you are doing is NOT incest because you do not have a common blood ancestor (you do not have the same biological mother or father). So as long as you are in love with each other and feel right being with each other, keep doing it. If people criticize you, ask them what they would do if their boyfriend or girlfriend suddenly became their stepbrother or stepsister. Ask them if they would stop dating each other or stop having sex with each other. They probably would not, though they might tell people they did.

Ignorant people act ignorant. Since you are not blood related and your family is ok with it, I would not worry. Tell those people to get a life or look it up or google it!

Hi,

Another thing that you should know is that stepbrothers and stepsisters are not on the list of people that are not allowed to marry in the UK. Some non-blood related people are not allowed to marry, but you would be allowed. I know you aren’t talking about marriage, but I just mention it to point out that your relationship is in no way viewed as unnatural by anyone. Maybe some of the people who are sniping at you are a bit thick – are they confusing stepbrother with half brother maybe? Like the other reply said, if you have difficulty handling it, then move away and tell no one. It isn’t a guilty secret, but no one needs to know do they?

AuntyEm agony auntIf you arn't blood related and your parents are ok with it all, then I don't think you should take any notice of what other people say. Their comments are just stemmed from ignorance, so thats their problem and not yours. As long as you are both happy and have fun together then to hell with what other people say. Just start to act like your really bored and not interested when these people begin making comments and they will soon fade away.

Good Luck

Aunty Em xx
