It’s only weird if you think it’s weird…right? This twin brother and sister are 23 years old…but still cuddle with each other!
Growing up, their family never commented on it being weird, and it’s not like she does it in FRONT of her boyfriend…but he thinks it’s WEIRD, but SHE thinks it’s gross her boyfriend is jealous of her relationship with her brother.
Who’s right?
Here’s her email:
My brother and I are 23. I am his female twin. We live together and both go to grad schools in the same
city, so we spend a lot of time together.Anyway, sometimes we cuddle while hanging out, talking (like if one of us is sad about something, etc.) or watching tv. It’s not a secret, and my new boyfriend thinks it’s “extremely weird” to be that close with a sibling. He’s “uncomfortable” with it. I think it’s gross that my boyfriend is acting jealous of my relationship with my brother. However, we’ve spoken to some friends and gotten mixed reactions ranging from “wtf” to “must be a twin thing” to “doesn’t seem that weird.”
We don’t generally “spoon” unless we fall asleep cuddling and happen to wake up that way. Our other brothers never mentioned it being weird growing up. Our parents were taken out of the picture when we were very young, so we never had their input on the subject either way. The person who raised us never said anything.
I do not cuddle with my twin in front of my boyfriend. I think I have held my twin’s hand in front of my boyfriend and sat between them on the couch for a scary movie night, but that’s about it. For the most part, if my boyfriend is over, my twin is out with a girl, other friends, or in his room. Or my boyfriend and I are in
my room.So, I want the opinion of unbiased strangers. Is it that weird that we cuddle?
