Chelsea* feels disgusted by her long-term partner, Ashley*, after he revealed a family secret.
« I’ve been with my boyfriend for over five years, » Chelsea shared to Reddit, who was originally looking forward to going on holiday with Ashley’s family.
« We’re all on a family trip together right now (his mum, dad, stepbrother, stepsister, and a bunch of his other relatives), » Chelsea began. « And this is the second time I’m meeting his stepsister. »
Chelsea continued: « He was absolutely wasted last night and I was telling him how much I like his stepsister.
« [Ashley] continued by telling me I should dress like her, which I thought was a little strange.
« Then I said, ‘sounds like you have a thing for your sister; and he came out and told me over 15 years ago, him and her slept together many times. »
« He kept mentioning it last night almost as if he was proud of what he did, » Chelsea revealed. « Repulsive. »
Chelsea said: « Apparently no one knows [about it] in his family, and only his best friend knows about what happened.
« Now I honestly can barely look at him, I feel so beyond disgusted and am second-guessing our entire relationship. »
Chelsea added: « We have three more days on this family vacation and I want to book an earlier flight and go home. »
Feeling « torn » about her next steps, Chelsea asked the people of Reddit if she was overreacting.
« I would love some insight from others, » said Chelsea. « I feel shallow for judging him this negatively about the situation… »
Many took to Reddit to advise Chelsea to « book the flight home » and to leave him.
Ok-Willow-9145 stated: « This is totally abnormal. It’s especially creepy that he asked you to dress like the family member he was sleeping with. Go home. »
Although Tiacalypso said: « Stepsister isn’t a genetic sister. » Southcoastal confirmed « it’s not incest, but it’s still not socially right ».
Southcoastal added: « The real ick is the fact that he wants you to dress like her. Sounds like he still has a thing for her. Maybe she broke it off and he’s never really got over her. »
