Which is more gross?

[noodleoo]

Weird question but definitely 1.

1.

[h]

I find one to be much, much grosser.

My brother is adopted. Doesn't change the fact that he is my brother and the thought of being married to him...well, just no. I think I would be less bothered to discover that my DH is actually a blood relative, though that certainly wouldn't thrill me either.

1 is creepy.

2 is kind of sad.

1 is way grosser. 1 has a higher likelihood that someone (mother/father) decieved someone (kids/husband). Also, 1 has the secret love thing going on in the background.

1 for sure.

1 is definitely more gross. +o(

2. I don't know why though.

1.

Although 2 is still a little weird. I have close blood relatives I didn't meet until adulthood and the family traits they have are even more pronounced to me than in people I grew up with. My brother just looks like himself to me, but one of my first cousins physically reminds me of my dad every time I see him.

1 for sure. I couldn't imagine growing up with someone blood or not and wanting to marry them

2 is sad. I feel bad for them. They had no idea and I assume no way of knowing... to find out later would just SUCK

#1 for sure.

2. Hands down.

You can move away from the people who knew you growing up.

So what would you guys do in situation #2?

Stay together? Get divorced?

I believe we'll gt divorced.

#2 is way more gross.

1, hands down. You grew up as siblings, I would think you always have that sibling bond.

Stay together, I think. But not have biological kids.

Both but if I HAD to choose only one it would be #1

[DarcyLongfellow]

1 for sure.

Because the "grossness" factor is that you grew up with this person believing him/her to be your sibling. It makes an outsider think that you were attracted to your sibling your whole childhood, which is just weird.

The second one doesn't really gross me out. I'd be more worried about birth defects and other problems that you get with inbreeding (this seems like a non-PC word, but I'm not sure what to use!), but not as concerned about the "ick" factor because they married before they found out.

#1 is gross, #2 is tragic.

I love that this was just a fleeting thought for you OP. This reminds me of those "whats grosser than gross" games we played as a kid. You MUST be pregnant.

As far as which is more skeevy? #2 for sure.

[rex]

1 is gross, 2 is sad.

If 2 happened to me I'd have to get a divorce because I don't think that's something you can just forget and give the guy a bj in a week, kwim? And a marriage without sex is not my style.
