So sad. What annoyed me was seeing the Evening Standard in London asking people to inform them who the twins were, as if it wasn't sensitive enough.

You'd think people would have enough to do with their time than poke their noses into everyone else's business.

The ES has obviously gone downhill.

Might be an issue if they have kids though.

It depends on how they feel about each other. If they're still madly in love then they could do a runner. It could be difficult to remain in a platonic relationship and not to see each other at all, even as brother and sister would be hard too.
I agree they should go where they are not known and adopt children if they want them.
They may not be able to cope with knowing though.

Then decide what you would do. Imagine, you love his person enough to marry them, but you can't be married, you can't even legally have a sexual relationship. This is the stuff of novels.
The poor things, how sad - what a position to find themselves in. I dont envy them whichever route they take - do they deny themselves each others love or do they leave themselves open to which will probably be some very hurtful comments as someone will always have something nasty to say about such a situation and take great joy in doing so. This is a situation were people ought to butt out and let them get on with their lives (bloody newspapers - this is were they go to far) and bloody good luck to them coz im sure they are going to need it.
To answer the question - i think i would just do one somewhere with them and hopefully live happily ever after.........in an ideal world.
Take care all xxx

They are not going to live as man and wife - if they were then this story would never have surfaced. We can deduce that because they have gone to court to have their marriage annuled.

think this is really sad.......they obviously felt some connection, but didn't know that it was as being a twin......very upsetting for all involved, a shame that they were never told that they had been adopted, could possibly have stopped alot of heartache! Ems x

I personally know of a similar relationship. Although not twins. A man and woman related by one birth parent but never having met before falling in love.

Must happen more than folks realsie in this day and age.

Me too, but they met in adult years knowing they had the same father, then fell in love. Been together for a long time. Must be very strange for their respective children when they family gatherings and so on (both have kids, all adults now, from their marriages).

It would mess up their kids if they had any.

I think they should stay together if they still want to, perhaps move to a new area if it is common knowledge to all & sundry where they are, and just not have their own kids - adopt. Or even have one with her egg and one with his sperm - just don't mix the two, it would be a recipe for disaster!

That's why in my earlier post in this thread I said they should stay together and not have children....



I totally agree it would be disastrous.

Now wouldn't it be strange if this happens in a few years....
