In a shocking revelation, a man has discovered that his wife is actually his biological sister. The unsettling discovery came to light when the man attempted to donate one of his kidneys to save his wife’s life. The man claims he was adopted shortly after birth and has been married to his wife for six years. The couple, who have two children together, realized the wife needed a kidney transplant after falling ill following the birth of their son.
Seeking a potential donor, the couple checked with relatives but found no matches. Determined to help, the man got tested and was surprised to learn that he was a match for his wife. However, additional testing revealed an “abnormally high match percentage” between the two. According to the man, the doctor explained that parents and siblings typically have a 50% match, while spouses have a lower match percentage. Confused and shocked by the results, the man sought guidance on Reddit, where people urged him to save his wife’s life first and then consult with a geneticist regarding their children.
The man shared his story anonymously, recounting how he met his wife while working away from his hometown. After exchanging numbers, they regularly met up when he visited her state. The couple eventually decided to transfer permanently, unknowingly setting the stage for the startling discovery. Uncertain about how to proceed, the man expressed his conflicting emotions, knowing that the woman he loves and the mother of their children is also his biological sibling. As the Reddit community responded with various perspectives, it was suggested that they seek professional guidance to ascertain the true extent of their relationship.
