A man was horrified to learn he’s related to his wife.
As he was adopted at birth, he didn’t know much about his family tree.
The husband didn’t make the disturbing realisation until six years after walking own the aisle, when he went for medical testing.
On Reddit, the anonymous bloke wrote: “My wife got sick just after our son was born and now is in need of a kidney transplant. We checked with her relatives and none were a match or a viable donor.
“I knew it would be a long shot so I decided to get tested to see if I could donate. I got a call the other day saying that I was a match.
“The doctor then said something about wanting to do additional testing due to some information from the HLA (human leukocyte antigen) tissue test results. I didn’t think much of it and agreed.”
Following further tests, the chap was told he had an “abnormally high match percentage” with his partner.
He said: “It was rare to have a high match as husband and wife. I asked what does that mean.”
Then it dawned on him – he was likely half sibling to his wife.
He added: “We’re related – no, I’m not kidding. I don’t know what to do moving forward but I know it may be wrong. She is my wife and the mother of our kids.”
After turning to Reddit for advice, people were quick to share their opinions on the uncomfortable situation.
