I am searching for someone to talk too. I am 37 yrs old and was adopted. I recently found my family in Nov 2008. Turns out I have 3 brothers and I am the only girl. I have met all my brothers but have a strong connection to one. We have talked about GSA because we both feel a strong connection. I recently went out of town with him and another one of my brothers. We did not sleep together but he tried. He lives in another state and I am miserable without him. I have searched for books or anything that can help me get some answers. If anyone can please help me with advice or just make me understand why we are feeling the way we are and what should we do about it, it would help alot.

I certainly understand. I am 31 myself but since I was 19 my half brother and I have been sexually imtimate and living together. I met him when i was 17 and he was 23, he had a steady long term girlfriend who didn't mind the close bond he and I shared. My brother and I knew it was deeper then just what people saw on the surface. When they brokeup, not because of me; it just sort of seemed natural that we be together. It was fustrating at first because you do not have the same freedoms most "socially accepted" couples have. We struggled to find private time, we did a lot of hiding and sneaking around even though we were both old enough and mentally capable of making our own choices. I sometimes think the family suspected, but he would date other women. When he would do that I would become extremely jealous which was weird to me to understand because he was the only person I have ever felt that way over. Even now after 12 years and the little songs and dances we put on for the world when he dates or has a girlfriend, it is extremely uncomfortable for me. I experience all the anxiety, pain, and suffering of someone being cheated upon. I'd try to date other guys but I couldn't. I couldn't be intimate with them not like I could be with my halfbrother. It felt like I was cheating on him. Currently we live together, but I feel our time is drawing to a close soon because I want him and all his glory to be mine sololy but he wants a family of his own, kids, the whole wife experience. This pains me because by all respects I am his wife. I am tortured, but I understand his dilemma. He is now 38, it is weighting on our relationship heavily because he is reaching the point of no return he says. He says in the next life we will be husband and wife, have a family, and truly be happy. I use to cling to that dream but now I believe I am just doomed to love someone I cannot truly have. Not just love him with my heart, but soul, mind and body. I caution anyone, but I do not regret the heartaches and trials we have had.

If anyone has advice on how to deal with hostile and jealously issues or has experienced it in this regard please I am all eyes and ears. I feel my only escape is the obvious one leave and no contact...that would be just about the death of me.

UK documentary looking for couples who found out they were related after starting a relationship.

Hello all
Barbara has cleared me to post on here in the hope that someone will be willing to tell me their story.
I am making a documentary for the BBC looking at people who meet and have a relationship, then find out they are related.
A growing number of children born in the UK never know their fathers and therefore never know if they have half siblings out there. Although rare there have been cases where these half siblings meet, fall in love and embark on a relationship only to find out later on, while researching their family, that they are indeed half siblings.
I want to speak to people who have found themselves in this situation and have had to make the decision about whether or not to continue with their relationship.
I’m not sure if this scenario could be classed as GSA as the couples I am looking for fall for each other before knowing they are related but I don’t know of any other website offering such support or intelligent advice as this one so I guess anyone in any situation such as this would come here.
All contact with me will be treated in the utmost confidence.
I can be contacted on my mobile 07815731179 or emailed on [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Sarah Rest

Great site.
 

Hi..my name is Alice (24 F) and I am so happy to come across this site. I finished school at 18 and got a fantastic job out of state. 3 years ago my mom showed up and has been here ever since. It has been a great 3 years.My friends and aquaintances know us only as Louise and Alice. It's nice to hear from other people who are in similiar life situations.

I thought there was already a documentary that I saw on BBC America about this. Is this by the same person as a follow-up?

Hi there,

My name is Nicole, I'm an Australian journalist and film maker working for Al Gore's news network Current TV.

I've been commissioned to do a short documentary about GSA relationships to be delivered in mid-october. I've been speaking with Barbara Gonyo, who has helped me, which I am very grateful for, and also Jennifer and John Deaves who will be in the documentary. It will air in the US and the UK on cable and will be available online.

I am hoping to get a few other couples in GSA relationships to talk about their relationships, experiences and difficulties in order to give further insight and understanding into GSA relationships. To promote understanding and education about GSA.

If you are interested please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to speak with you and discuss further. Please email me at [email protected] or call on +61423 917 704.

Thanks for your time, all correspondence will be treated with confidentiality. I think this is an important story to tell, I hope you can help me tell it.

Look forward to speaking with you and thank you again,

Nicole

When possible, please let us know the details of when and how this documentary may be seen. Thank you.

Hi Satan's Sister,

The documentary should be available online in Australia and also on a cable channel in the US and UK.

I will keep you updated as to when it will air and how you can watch it. Please do contact me if you are interested in being involved.

Thanks for your help,

Nicole

My name is Paul, I'm new to the site but have known about this site for some time and have been lurking. It's almost 20 years since my reunion and the meeting with my sister who I fell in love with. I'll chat about this experience more later. My marriage has survived ....believe it or not, but it took a lot of love and understanding, patience and counseling, and a lot of soul searching. because in the end for me, this is about a journey searching for myself...my identity. GSA and all its joy and pain and ecstasy and and and.....can be life destroying and marriage destroying. I'm not sure why my marriage survived but it did. I'm not sure how I survived....but I did. I never thought I'd ever get through my pain and live any kind of normal life again after I was in the full throws of GSA. i have learned to laugh again and have fun! It took years to slowly move forward from that trapped spot where I felt like I was drowning in it all. I still love my sister...but we don't speak or communicate. It seems OK this way for now. The future ....who knows. But I believe we need to redefine our relationship to make it one with boundaries and learn to love each other as a sister and brother can. I still believe we are soul mates! Perhaps the future can be this way. In the mean time I'm living life with vigor!
