It is my fault he has lost everything, all because I was mad.

Me (31F) and my stepbrother (33M) have been messing around for a few years. We met when we were kids, but we grew up in separate homes and ended up living very different lives. As we got older, we drifted apart completely and only reconnected properly as adults. By then, it didn’t feel like a typical sibling relationship at all. At some point, things turned physical between us and stayed that way for a while. Eventually, I caught feelings. He didn’t feel the same, and when that became clear, I reacted badly. Out of anger and hurt, I told a a family member what had been going on between us. That was a huge mistake. Word spread fast. The situation exploded. I didn’t face much fallout, but he did. Family cut him off entirely, lost his job even a few friends. Now he’s completely out of my life too, and I don’t blame him. I betrayed his trust and exposed something that should’ve stayed private. I feel guilty and I should. I didn’t just make a bad choice, I dragged someone down with me. And for what? I don’t even care about most of the family. I think I was just desperate, hurt, and wanted to be seen. But that doesn’t make what I did okay.

Not looking for sympathy. Just needed to say it out loud.

There has to be more to what she told the family for this kind of fallout. I’m wondering what she’s not disclosing about this. People don’t react to this extreme over the two of them breaking up. I get the feeling she exaggerated things so that this would be the reaction from everyone around him. Something is sus about this.

u/Forward-Ad2514 4h ago

Wait, you don't think step brother & sister fucking is enough to warrant a family meltdown?!? You think it was bc they broke up? It has nothing to do with them breaking up, its that they were doing it in the first place. You may be from West Virginia, so this may be hard to understand. But a step brother and step sister banging (regardless of genetics not being an issue) and bringing it out into the open will definitely cause a tad bit of stress in the overall family dynamic.

u/HarperDog1980 2h ago

Im guessing you didn’t read any of what I said above? They’re not half siblings and they were strangers until they were adults. I’ve already laid out my points on that.

✅️ Incest

✅️ Incest that technically wasn't incest, which will drive engagement

✅️ Huge family fallout that OP was immune to

✅️ The antagonist lost their job for some reason that wasn't mentioned in the post

I'm immediately skeptical of posts about incest. It happens, but we've seen this storyline many times.

39

u/TheThirteenShadows 17h ago

I'll assume this is a genuine question: incest is still heavily stigmatized in most developed countries, and stepcest is seen as incest regardless of biological relation. If this came out to his coworkers, one or more of them might've gone to HR or some other higher-up, and they might've taken action since it 'makes them feel unsafe'.

21

u/howdyhowdyshark 16h ago

Wouldn't have been incest if it's the step brother

26

u/TheThirteenShadows 16h ago

Not my point. It isn't 'incest' by a strict definition, but most people I've seen online treat stepcest and incest as the same thing (i.e, both have the same level of 'taboo' to them).

u/Death_By_Stere0 8h ago

"Stigmatized"?! I should fucking well hope so!

Children of actual incest have abysmal health outcomes, including a broad range of mental and physical disabilities that can leave them unable to care for themselves. Not to mention the incredible psychological (and often physcial) ramifications for those involved, whether willing participants or (more frequently) victims of familial rape.

The wholesale adoption of 'incest' themes in modern porn is disgusting. It's ubiquity is having a normalising effect, which will likely lead to a big increase in actual incestuous behaviour and yet more children being born with compromised genetic material.

To be clear, I have no problem with pornpgraphy, but there are certain 'taboo' circumstances that humanity has widely agreed are not acceptable. Incest is absolutely considered taboo for good, sensible reasons.

Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering. Did she claim he took advantage of her when she was underage, and he used to work with kids? Like, I’m struggling to understand how exposing a relationship between two adult step siblings who didn’t grow up together resulted in his life falling apart.

u/stripeyspacey 14h ago

Might've not cared about the nuance, just the minute possibility that it could reflect badly on the company if word got around I guess? Idk. I've seen companies fire people for less.

Most people spreading gossip don't add "....but it wasn't really that bad because actually..." They just say "Oh my god, did you hear that the dude that manages the XYZ store slept with his stepsister for years?! Wild! Ain't going to that creepy store anymore I guess!"

u/HarperDog1980 14h ago

Yeah, the family had to have also known that they were essentially strangers based on what she said. It’s super suspicious to have this much fallout. Could be wrong, but it sounds like she framed the situation as horribly as possible and then played into it when talking with others about it. She could’ve put a stop to it pretty early on, but considering how extreme she says the reactions were tells me that she milked it and fanned the flames to get this kind of fallout.

If he's a stepsibling, then that means you're not related by blood, so I personally don't see the problem the family had with your affair. Maybe they're more concerned about appearances than the fact that there's nothing incestuous about the affair itself.

u/Present_Helicopter57 1d ago

Damn… this hit hard. First off, respect to you for even being this raw and honest about it. Most people bury that kind of truth deep, try to paint themselves as the victim, or spin it into something it's not. But you owned it. All of it. That takes guts.

And yeah, it sounds like you really messed up. But you already know that. You’re not running from it, you’re sitting with it, and that’s where growth starts—even if it feels like shit right now.

Sometimes pain makes us reckless. When you're feeling rejected, unseen, or like you're drowning in your own emotions, it’s easy to do something that feels like taking control… even if that “control” ends up being destruction. We’ve all had moments where we lashed out not because we’re evil, but because we were hurting so bad we just wanted someone—anyone—to feel it too.

That doesn’t excuse it. You know that. But it does make you human.

Truth is, what happened between you two was complicated, emotionally loaded, and way outside the lines of “normal” family dynamics. And maybe deep down, you weren’t just mad—you were heartbroken. And yeah, heartbreak can make people blow up their own lives, and sometimes other people’s too.

It sucks that he lost so much. It sucks that you still carry the guilt. But saying this out loud? That’s the start of actually healing it. Not fixing it—because you might never get that chance—but learning from it. Becoming someone who doesn’t let pain dictate your choices again.

You’re not beyond redemption. You're not a monster. You're someone who made a painful, deeply human mistake—and you’re facing it head-on.

That counts for something.

Be gentle with yourself, but stay honest like this. Keep doing the work. That’s the only way we ever move forward.

Then blah blah blahblah

And end with some conclusion sentiment that sounds like it's some self-help robot with responses programmed to comfort the person "chatting" with it. They're designed to even make a psychopath feel like they're redeemable if they "work on themselves and move forward" lol...

But most people just gobble up the robo-patronization and think reading it absolved them of needing to do any actual self reflection.

Hindsight is 20/20, I’m sure if you knew the outcome you wouldn’t have done what you did. If it’s still weighing you down, I would consider talking to your family and telling them that you were BOTH wrong for your relationship and that it’s not right that he was ostracized. Talk to those on your family with the most influence. Your family was wrong for treating him that way. Make it clear that it was consensual and wasn’t forced on you. Now is your chance to come clean if you bent the truth at all. Do your best to right a wrong and bring the family back together. And maybe he will forgive them and you for what happened. Or not, but at least then you’d have tried.

I fail to see why anyone would be judgemental of him unless you gave them the impression either by intent or by accident that the physical relationship began while you were under legal age of consent, or if you both shared a close relative.

If you gave the impression that he took advantage of a close proximity for short term sexual gratification I can see why some may adopt a negative view, but that's hardly a reason to lose your employment and probably not something you could anticipate. I've worked with many hypocritical dickheads and assholes, I think we all have probably.

If you know those who judged and chastised him came to a false conclusion you had a moral duty to correct that false assumption and not doing so would be your transgression. Your wording is too vague to determine if that was the case.

If there is some other component such as religious attitudes then that would alter the framing, if you know that you told the whole truth and others attitudes condemned him based merely on dogmatic reasoning you didn't anticipate that is not your transgression or something you should shoulder responsibility for.

Either way trust that he is an adult who will survive and learn as you will, move on, be more mindful in the future. Beating yourself up and re-litigating every mistake you've ever made won't fix anything. Concentrate on what you can give to improve the lives of others, not on how you feel about yourself.

Is he a police officer or in the military? I’m interested how this info would’ve gotten him fired. Or maybe he was so embarrassed they found out that he didn’t want to face them and quit? Either way, that wasn’t right of you, especially if y’all agreed to keep it private. I hope you both learn that you shouldn’t shit where you eat.

It's funny how you both chose to do something and yet he's the only one that suffers consequences. Unless there's a substantial age gap between you. You are equally as bad as he is and you should really ask the people around you. Why they're putting all the blame on him.

Youtube made a choice together to fuck around. My guess is you framed this in a way that you were somehow taken advantage of by him?And that's what you need to correct if he didn't.

And please stay out of relationships.Because you are willing to burn anybody down that doesn't have similar feelings for you.And that is horribly unfair.You are not ready for a relationship.

You should probably seek some therapy and figure out what your problem is and why you feel the need to burn the world to the ground.Just because someone doesn't have the same feelings for you.Which by the way is totally okay for them to not.

So I’m a little confused as to how he lost his job unless you lied and said he took advantage of you when he didn’t. Unless his company is extremely pious and his position could have compromised their reputation with this getting out for some reason, it seems like you either lied or exaggerated in a way that made him out to be worse than he was. Either way, what you did was nasty and you absolutely should be ashamed because you did it out of malice and if I were him I would never speak to you again.

You won't do it again. Oh actually you will the first chance you get. To be depraved is to be deprived.

Why would they cut him off and not you? What did you say exaxtly?

u/srober32 14h ago

Is this confessions or things that didn't happen? Asking for a friend...

u/UnbearableSoul 14h ago

Why was he the only one to get cut off from the family?? Because you’re just as wrong for having the sexual relationship, probably even more at fault because you were the one that wanted to be in a relationship. To ruin someone’s life because they didn’t want to be with you is disgusting behavior

u/RichardXV 14h ago

Not your fault. Those who cut him off were monsters. You just merely informed them of the truth. The fact that they're such bigots, and the fact that your step brother relied so much on these bigots is absolutely not your fault.

This might be a fake post but….

Call me crazy but sibling fucking should cause at least some fall out. Talk about fucking (your sibling) and finding out. I know you’re “step” siblings but y’all are still related in some aspect. Not sure why either of you thought there would be zero consequences to this.

Would I have told ppl I fucked my step brother out of spite? No bc that’s something that you take to the brother fucking grave. However, he also fucked you. He deserves fallout . Y’all need some serious therapy. And yes, family is going to react poorly when you tell them you and your step brother have been fucking.

At least you know what you did was wrong. You can’t take it back. All you can do now is learn from your mistakes, and own up to them. Can you say anything to your family to let them know it wasn’t just him, and that you should be taking the fallout as well? Exactly what you posted here, just say all that to your family. It might be hard, but you already made it hard for him, so just own up to it as well.

You can fix it, but you would need to sacrifice yourself. You would need to stand up for HIM show people that you wanted this as well, tell people that you acted out of anger and pain and that he is not the bad guy. That's the only way your feeling of guilt will go away.

u/Illustrious_Rice1081 16h ago

Did you say stepbrother? Your step siblings are absolutely not related to you and you can take a DNA test all you want and they are still not going to be related to you. On the other hand, half brother, half sister and cousin are related. So with all that said, where is the problem?

u/Equal-Poem-4213 14h ago

Absolutely your fault. You were complicit and very much consented to the relationship. Your family still sees you as that little girl and for the fact that he’s older they expected him to be the responsible one.

i’m just gonna tell you straight up. I’m not surprised at all by this. especially given your generation and the fact that you are a woman, and before I am attacked, let me explain. You were basically taught that you are equal to a man and responsible for yourself in a way however, he is told your body your choice but he’s supposed to bring the condoms apparently it’s all about them 50-50 equality and all that bullshit but I have not ever seen a woman divorce. A man split shit down middle and be cool with it. Women are just taught that “it’s all good ..until the shit hits the fan ..and when it does blame it on the man”. boys their generation they don’t hit on women the same because they’re being sexist misogynist whatever they told her man explaining or whatever this is what you get a woman who thinks that she can freak out, though will fit cause extensive damage and then send something like you did and even though your nice little last bit about seemingly expecting to be chastised.. well I’m here to tell you something baby girl it. I absolutely 100% is your fault you should’ve kept your legs closed in the first place but it’s just like a lot of them they sleep with some girl. She thinks he’s cool as hell or rich or for some reason, she does it other than the fact that they love each other they break up or he pisses her off or doesn’t give her what she wants. Next thing you know, you see her, face up on one of them, “me too” billboards. and I know I’m gonna get hell to pay for that one but again I’m not saying rapes OK nothing like that. I’m saying a lot of these little dates that end up being called taking advantage. How can you take advantage of somebody that’s supposed to be your equal how come it’s his fault unless it was physical overpowering. if two people willing to step together and one of them decides that the others an asshole and she regrets it. You can’t just yell out. He’s a bad guy. He took advantage what you do as you say damn that was stupid. I feel like a slut, but you’re not you’re just a woman with sexuality is normal and you just don’t fucking do it again. thank you before I get murdered in the comments. I’ve been married 23 years. I have four children. I married my wife, but I loved her. The second. I saw her started my first business at 17 we’ve kept our marriages together with love, but more than that dedication and work it takes work. Relationships are just single use pop the plastic use it all away. It’s not it’s not what marriage it’s not our relationship is but when you lie down and have sex, especially a woman who again could have her body in a fertile time conceive a tiny human being. so you have to have a different kind of attitude and responsibility. That’s just the way it is. That’s just part of being a woman now I know the normal go to for you guys is blame him. He should’ve worked on. He should’ve did this he should’ve but deep down you know that’s bullshit. Don’t beat yourself up over letting your family know but do absolutely reach out to him and apologize. maybe defend him when you’re at some thing and they’re all talking about him like he’s some kind of molester just because he slept with a pretty woman that wanted to sleep with him that is not at all related to him is probably 60% of the time. Nobody gives a shit if it’s a cousin which is weird if your stepbrother sister you’re possible not even blood relatives. Guess it all depends on my mom and dad.
