This might seem like a very dramatic post, but since discovering this subreddit existing, I thought maybe other twins might know what I'm feeling. My identical twin sister and I have been together our whole lives. Yeah, we had our moments during our childhood where we fought like crazy and our parents were comparing every little thing (i.e. academics, personality, etc.), but...she is my literal best friend. We always, always played together, hung out together, ate together, etc. We have the same interests in music, TV shows, games. We majored in the same degree in college and got jobs in the ..read more

Is it weird that as an identical twin I feel like I shouldn’t get married? I feel like I will never be closer to anyone than my twin, and that I could never love my spouse more than my twin. I have been reading about soulmates, and how some people believe that they were one person divided into two people, and that’s exactly what me and my twin are. I know there are aspects of marriage and love that my twin doesn’t fulfill, but I am purely looking at this from the perspective of an eternal bond. submitted by /u/AwsumGuido [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My mother and my brothers gf say they aren't and I'm debating on removing these people from my life ? Apparently being before and after midnight all of a sudden makes them " not twins " submitted by /u/JohnPG90 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have recently realized that I'm right handed and left footed. 3% of the population is this way, from the few studies I've read. I'm also right handed and left eyed, and 20% of the population is this way. I have a lot of other stereotypical issues like asthma, and some ither relatively common cognitive issues. submitted by /u/IGNISFATUUSES [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Dating a twin, question Hi, I've been dating an identical twin for a bit now. I'm fairly effusive about compliments, I genuinely find my partner very attractive, both physically and emotionally / intellectually. When I compliment, I really try to emphasize that I love their presence, their sense of humor, things that are unique. But I do also tell my partner I love their face and body, the sorts of compliments I also like to receive. I've been wondering what the general consensus on this is for identical twins--my partner and twin have a fraught relationship, with a lot of comparison. Accordi ..read more

My sister and I (27F) are twins. For our whole lives we've been called "fraternal" twins. It depended on who saw us on whether or not they thought we looked the same. My sister is shorter and much thinner than I am. However, we did AncestryDNA and it came back as self/identical twin on each other's profiles, with 100% DNA shared. Is it possible the doctors were wrong in their view of the ultrasound and we are, in fact, identical? submitted by /u/thatmentallyillchic [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am dating a twin and most of the time things are great. Sometimes I get annoyed or frustrated though because I’ve been so independent my whole life and him and his brother are very codependent. I try to bite my tongue and be patient but it bothers me. Is this a thing with most twins?? I also feel that I am coming in between them because they are so close. It’s like dating someone who already has a soul mate. I never want to break up their bond or relationship, I just wish they were more independent of each other. It definitely is a weird feeling dating someone with a built in soul mate and ..read more

Mt twin passed a few years ago and I'm feeling guilty more each year that I'm still here. I've had counciling, but it didn't help much. I'm finding it difficult to keep going as I keep having sad thoughts of them more each year, to where its now daily. I have other siblings, but they don't understand how I'm feeling. I can't fully explain it, as the bond we had is different to any other I have. It's crazy that even any of my relationships don't compare on some level. We're fraternal and drifted away as life took us in different directions as we became adults. Whenever we contacted each other ..read more

Hello, I’m a twin mom and would to know your opinion on this topic. This is more directed to twins that were the “only child” in their family. I have 3 years old twins and as they grow older, I feel like they have a lot of only child behaviors and wondering if that’s such a thing. We don’t have any other children and don’t plan on having more so wondering if twins can develop that only child syndrome or anything else that we can get ahead of behavior/personality wise I’d appreciate any advice. submitted by /u/KidsInNeed [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
