'I'm on the cusp of a sexual relationship with my sister - I can't stop my feelings'

A man has found himself in a situation where he feels like it's 'wrong' to act on his feelings towards his 'sister' but the pair have realised they have deep feelings for eachother

A man has confessed he has developed feelings for who he thought was his 'sister' - and doesn't know if he should act on it or not as it feels 'wrong'.

While he was under the impression growing up he and the woman he thought was his sister were half siblings, a sinister and shocking truth from his step mum revealed they weren't related at all - as she'd cheated on his dad. Despite the shock of finding out he's not related to his 'sister' the anonymous man, 39, then confessed he now has feelings for her now knowing they aren't blood related. He also claimed the feeling is mutual between the pair. Even though he is married, the man says he knows in his heart he "loves" his 'sister' and has even started "imagining" them together.

He explained how his mum passed away when he was a toddler and his dad remarried when he was six. When they had a daughter he said he was "so excited" and "adored her" as they grew up, even saying they became best friends. "Sadly Dad's marriage broke down after 10 years but my 'sister' and I remained very close. I’ve always recognised that she is pretty and as an adult - very attractive. She's 32 now," he told The Sun's agony aunt.

Now the truth has come out after his sister got a DNA kit and his step-mum made the confession that she had cheated around the same time his sister was conceived. After learning the truth about his step-mother's affair began to change the relationship between the man and the woman he thought of as his sister. He explained: "Since then my sister and I have been meeting up but things are getting intense. Last time I saw her she came out with it and told me she wanted sex and to be honest so do I but this feels so wrong. On one level even though we aren’t related, she still feels like family."

He claimed she keeps calling him and concluded the confession by saying that he knows he "loves her" but asked if it would be right to act on these feelings and take it further. The advice given that was although they aren't related they 'legally free' to be together or marry - but it may impact the family.

The agony aunt said: "Your family has thought of you as brother and sister for over three decades so it's going to take a big mindset shift to see you as an established couple," and asked if they'd be ready for the possible backlash. She also recommended speaking to a counsellor about his feelings to help him.
