I guess I am having a difficult time understanding the fuck up. Like, shack up the olds together so they can be independent longer. Plus, if they move in together, holiday visits require travel to just one place instead of two or worse, having to choose which family to see for which holiday.

If I remember that video correctly her explanation of tifu was that she became a [~~half-sister~~]step-sister to her husband
so just her optics changed. In the end being more of a brag post from matchmakers standpoint

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 73 points 4 days ago

Half-sister means they share one biological parent. This makes her his step-sister. Significantly different.

[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 68 points 4 days ago

What are you doing, step husband?

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago
[-] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 9 points 4 days ago

Oh, that's even worse than step husband.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I feel weird calling someone stepwife but stephusband just rolls off the tongue. Especially when you pronunce it steph-usband

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

No, when I married your father I took his name, dna, everything

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

kids kids… as far as daddy’s concerned, you’re both potential murderers.

[-] DampCanary@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

I have told some of this story here before but I had some friends in high school. They started dating. At first their parents thought they were too young to date, and then the parents met each other. Blablabla The parents promised to wait until the kids graduated high school to get married because that would "make it weird" according to the mom. Like a month after graduation the kids eloped and then the parents stopped being so weird. Well, a little. Then half a year later the parents got married.

Both couples are still together, so good on them for figuring it out.

Same happened to one of my friends but their parents married during the children's engagement, kinda weird that she married her brother-in-law but they're all still together 12 years later

first i was thinking how cumbersome it becomes if one of the relationships goes down, but the more i think about it, the less it sounds like an actual problem. i guess if they are into regular family gatherings it might be troublesome.

[-] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago

That’d make holiday season more convenient

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 47 points 4 days ago

I know a couple whose single parents got together and theyre perfect for each other. Threw me for a loop at first but hey, everyone's happy.

[-] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Honestly, this makes more sense to me than anything else. If their adult children like each other, the apple wouldn't have fallen far from the tree.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

So without getting into a huge debate about nature and nurture since both are at play and helping both couples out, I want to talk about my uncle Spud.

We were at a family reunion, and suddenly my mother noticed how I was standing with the exact same posture and pose as Spud and my cool brother. Spud didn't get as much time with Grumpa as he should have growing up, you know divorce. Anyways all three us guys and my mother and my cool sister were all standing there with our hands on our hips with a bit of a hunch in our necks because that's the spine Grumpa gave us. The only person at the reunion who was around Grumpa enough to really start to learn his posture (besides Gran) was my mother, yet there we were.

Honestly some of the things you can unwittingly inherit are surprising. I bet the parents saw their kids and thought "well of course they're in love, they're little 'Us'es"

[-] Hoimo@ani.social 3 points 3 days ago

Did you specify the cool brother because the other one is the hot brother?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

since i'm the only one of my siblings who has modeled, that would be me

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 3 days ago

God forbid two grown adults want to fuck each other.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

TIFU by helping two people find happiness. You wot, mate?

[-] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 7 points 4 days ago

In this economy?!

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 18 points 4 days ago

What are you doing, step-spouse?

[-] Aedaz_@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 days ago

The ex of a girl I dated in high school ended up her cousin by marriage and they kinda just rolled with it.

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago

This happened to my mother and father in law. It was awkward but they did get married first so they claim they aren't the weird ones.

[-] brokenwing@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 4 days ago

What are you doing step bro?
