good luck explaining what happened to your next mate

I don't get this logic. Can't they just lie like everyone else? Tell them he/she cheated, died, turned gay. That's a terrible reason to stay with your fricking sibling.

The woman would probably have a kid immediately when she tried with someone that wasn't a slap in the face to God.

You don't think even if they separate they will want to still see each other? Their romantic feelings would be obvious to any future partner, as their separation wasn't necessarily voluntary.

I get the difficulty, but at the end of the day, a rational person would choose to not continue to bang the person with whom they shared a womb.

Maybe I'm the illogical one.

I mean think of the big picture here. You build a happy life with someone- friends, house, job, probably join a church or whatnot- only to find out you're related after the fact.

Your options are at that point to blow it all up and fabricate a very extensive lie to everyone (while keeping it quiet and feigning hatred toward the other person) or to not tell a soul and simply carry on.

I don't know that's a shitty situation. Honestly I don't know what I would do.

The inability to not have children together is a pretty good built-in excuse for all that.

I understand the other side for sure. I think the marriage would implode naturally based on this new info. Already stressed over the child thing and now this? Not sure it would be hard for most to choose to amicably separate.

I mean, if I met someone who looked like me and had the same birthdate I wouldn't automatically jump to us being related

I wonder how much they knew about their biological family? If they knew they were both adopted and they shared the same birthday and resembled each other, to they point their friends would joke about it.. That had to raise some type of flag. At least enough to ask some questions. But then again, when they met they could have immediately hit it off. Being attracted to each other and having a physical relationship probably made the idea that they could be siblings, seem even more far fetched.. It would be weird to think "you know, we been together for 5 years. She is so sexy and we frick like minks.. I wonder if she could be my sister?"

I don't know what I'd do honestly. You obviously had never known this person as a sibling. Sure you share biology, but as long as you don't procreate, what's the real harm done? You will never be able to move on as a sibling with the other person, so essentially you will get divorced and lose the sibling you just found out you had. If, huge if, I could get past it, I would just stay the course and adopt. Possibly move to Alabama where that type of thing is more common.

Plus, what if they decided to say "frick it" and stay together? Will the state still legally recognize their marriage? That opens up a whole new set of questions about succession, next of kin, inheritance, etc., that they may have to deal with on top of the whole "I'm fricking my sister" issue.

Never heard of the Mississippi Herald. Might be a troll job.
