I have recently found out that my boyfriend of 10 years has cheated with my twin sister.
I’m only 18 years old and I know that I will find love again, but he really hurt me and I don’t know if I’ll ever recover or forgive him. James (that’s what we’ll call him) and I have been together since we were in elementary school.
However, after 10 years together I discovered that James had gotten my twin sister pregnant.
They had confessed to liking each other back when they were both 8 and 9 and had stayed together since.
However, their relationship hadn’t started to become a bit more serious until the two had entered their freshmen year in high school.
We first met in kindergarten, so it’s safe to say we’ve known each other for 15 years+ and have been together for 10 years now. We never broke up and never took ‘a break’ of some sort either.
And both of our parents have always been supportive of our relationship and sexualities, and nothing in our relationship had started going awry until about 5 months ago.
My twin sister, Emily, is also a senior in high school and is moving out for college when I move out in a couple of months. Since James and I have known each other since elementary school, Emily has known him as well. But James and Emily have never gotten along well. I think that she has always been jealous that I spent more time with James than with her, and that I had gotten a boyfriend before her as well.
It was uncommon to see Emily and James getting along, despite the fact that all three of us were classmates and James saw Emily pretty much every time he came over house. So, I never thought that those two would ever get together. Besides, James only liked guys, right?
But things in their relationship suddenly changed after I discovered that James had been receiving tons of text messages on his phone from my sisters. I found this out while the three of us went camping back in February.
I always knew the people that James would send messages to and he would always share them with me. But he started hiding his messages from me all of a sudden. I later found out that he and my sister were sending messages to each other months before.
James had pretty much shrugged off the messages, telling me that his driving teacher was trying to get him to schedule their next driving lesson. I was going to just let it go, but noticed I noticed a heart ‘<3,’ had popped up in one of the texts.
Confrontation
When I confronted him about it and asked why his driving teacher would be sending him a heart at 9PM on a Saturday night, he said I was making a big deal out of nothing, and I should stop bugging him with questions. I was too irritated to let him off the hook, so I made him unlock his phone and read the messages out loud to me.
James began tearing up as he started reading the texts to me. The first text read, “We’ll manage, I know we will,” and “Don’t worry about being too young to be a dad.”
I was immediately became enraged and I forced James to give me more details about who this person was and who was becoming a dad. I grabbed his phone and discovered that the person was my twin sister.
It was then that James admitted to having an affair with Emily. He immediately apologized and begged me to forgive him. I was completely shocked! I had to call my sister and find out everything.
I found out they had sex at least a dozen times behind my back, including in MY BED.
I was furious and I refused to forgive James. He had been cheating on me for months and now he’s gotten my twin sister pregnant. So, I kicked James out of my house and kept trying to call Emily, but she wasn’t answering her phone.
I tried to call and text her over and over, but nothing. My mom spoke with her, but she refused to talk to me. Then, James ended up blocking the man on Instagram, iMessage, and Facebook Messenger, and canceled all of our shared subscription platforms, like Netflix, Spotify, and HBO.
We didn’t see each other much in school after that for our final year of high school together because I refused to acknowledge James.
I can’t believe this is happening to me and I’m trying my best not to spiral out of control. I have no idea what my sister will do with the baby, or if she and James will get together for the sake of the child. Am I wrong for still being so angry?
