MJ9481 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I am 17 yrs old, and I've been dating the man of my dreams since April 2010, so 9 months together. Only problem is, he's my step brother and in his 20s. Please don't say gross or that's nasty, I'm not looking for ridicule, I'm looking for advice. The problem is our parents found out we were dating, my mom is pissed, he and I aren't alowed to have any form of contact until I'm 18 years old. That's a year away. He and I are absolutely devastated. He promised he will wait for me until then, and he hasn't ever broke a promise to me, ever. I love him more than anything, he got me a promise ring for Christmas, he is absolutely the perfect man for me. I really need advice on how to cope. I can't move on or see anyone else. That's out of the question. So please, any advice would be great and well appriciated.
creighton0123 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 It is still a taboo subject in most modern cultures. While the two of you are not related, both of your parents are involved. Expect that the two of you will be outcast from your family if you pursue it - then you really won't necessarily be step siblings. Either way, if things don't work out he will still remain your step sibling and you will be left having replaced a potential familial relationship with a romantic relationship with negative feelings attached to a break up. If you include the "step sibling" aspect of this in subsequent posts, expect many people to treat you like a troll. Really, it's neither gross or nasty. The two of you aren't related and it could (and possibly has) happened before when a younger couple was so much in love only to find out that their single parents were also romantically/sexually involved. Your not the first couple separated by disapproving parents (for whatever reason). You certainly won't be the last. Check the other forums for more appropriate advice.
Author MJ9481 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 He and I have a year apart, I'm trying to get a job and stay positive. But what do I do while time passes? everywhere I go everything I see reminds me of him. I still say we are together, just in a long distance relationship. He got out of the army in the summer 09, and he told me we'll make it, soldiers go on year long deployments with wives and girlfriends back home. Most make it, some don't.
