Introduction

Hi, I recently met my half-brother. We are both in long term relationships, married, have children, and share intense feelings for one another. Our GSA has not gone unnoticed by our partners, and we are currently trying to mend our lives. However, I am stuck in my feelings for him.

We have both tried to find as much information as possible regarding GSA. This is the first time I have come across any information suggesting what we are experiencing my not be a temporary reaction. We understand the obstacles, our responsibilities to our families, but still want to be together.

I am interested in reading more to see if we could have a life together, or if the damage to others is so great that we are doing the best thing now. There is no one I've ever felt such a deep connection with, no one I'd rather talk to, and no one I'd rather be with everyday.

Hi, Borogove, welcome to KS. I’ve upgraded your account. Though I had a little difficulty, because I’ve been putting an extra R into the word forever...

GSA is never neat, tidy, or easy. Fortunately, we have a number of GSA folks here who you can talk to, and hopefully decide the right thing to do. Please feel free to take advantage of existing threads or start your own.

Stay safe,
UN

Sorry, yes, the name does beg for that extra R. Thank you for the upgrade. It is very appreciated!

Welcome aboard!

hiya & welcome

Over the years I've read many dozens of accounts from people involved in situations like yours.

They always turn out badly for those who act on their feelings, with relationships ruined and lives damaged.

There's nothing wrong with how you feel about each other.  But as you have pointed out, you're both married with children.

Do what is right for your spouses and your children.  Don't let your feelings for each other lead you into actions that cannot be taken back.
