People Who Had Sex With Their In-Laws Share Stories
People sleeping with their partner's siblings, cousins, and even parents sounds like something that only happens in the movies, but that isn't the case! There are many individuals who decided to hook up with their in-laws IRL and live that soap opera life... That's why when Redditor u/Any-Name533 asked, "People who've slept with a partner's or ex's sibling. How did it happen and what was the aftermath?" people who hooked up with their partner's family members shared their wildest stories, and it's safe to say these holiday gatherings might be a little awkward. Without further ado, here are 16 of their most shocking encounters: "One day, I came home to a note on the counter. It was from my girlfriend letting me know that we were breaking up. To make sure I understood, she was considerate enough to leave a set of her underwear on the floor and a condom she had used with someone else in the trash..." "Not me, but a guy I worked with years ago: Thanksgiving was coming up, and I asked if he had plans yet. He said, 'Yeah, but family holiday gatherings are always tense.' So, I asked him to explain." "When I was 18, I was casually dating (and seriously sleeping with) my best friend's older brother. When he realized I probably wasn't going to keep my knickers on for four years of college, he dumped me for the girl he's still married to." "I used to work at a fast food restaurant in the early '90s. There were three employees who were sisters. On my first day, I could tell that the oldest sister and I were going to have sex, and sure enough, we did the first night we knew each other. The other sisters were twins, 'Bonnie' and 'Rachael.' Bonnie had no interest in me, but Rachael was hot, and after about two weeks, she picked me up at a bar because I was drunk. We went on to have random sex for the next several years." "My great aunt thought she was dying, so she confessed to her sister that her two 'nieces' were actually the result of a decadeslong affair with her husband." "My girlfriend of five months took me to see a movie. When we got back to her place, she told me in the hallway, 'Hey, listen, I don't want to do this anymore,' and broke up with me on the spot — no last hug, nothing. I was already suspicious of the way she had been texting and hiding her phone, but whatever." "In 2009, I went to stay with my girlfriend's family for Thanksgiving. Her sister said we could sleep in her room and bed as long as nothing happened. Well, my girlfriend didn't care about her sister's rules, so we ended up doing the deed in the bed, even though I refused at first." "I had an on-again, off-again relationship with a friend for years. We had hooked up, but she was leaving the town for school, so there was tension between us because we both wanted more from the relationship but knew it wasn't going to happen." "I dated a woman for about a year and a half who talked sh*t about me to her best friend, who believed every she met me and realized it was all lies. She ended up telling me that my girlfriend was cheating on me. So I slept with my girlfriend's older sister once..." "Not me, but my parents: My dad dated my mom's older sister. They broke up, and then my parents got married. Then my parents got divorced, and my dad married my mom's sister. It caused a huge family rift." "In high school, I hooked up with a girl and we dated for a while. We later broke up, but it wasn't anything major." "I found out the guy I was in a friends-with-benefits relationship with had a secret girlfriend, so we stopped having sex. I eventually met his older, more attractive brother, who happened to be visiting, and he invited me back to his place." "I slept with my best friend's little sister, then a few months later, his mom — the mom was better, she put in the most enthusiastic effort." "When I was a teenager, I fell hard for a guy who eventually cheated on me. He had a brother, a year younger than us, whom I met by accident. Initially, I wanted to become his friend so that I could get back at my ex — I thought it would drive him nuts (it did). But then feelings developed, and I fell harder for his brother than I had for him. We secretly dated for a few weeks before it became too hard to hide." "My ex cheated, and her sister called me out of the blue a year later. So, I got with her and we dated for two years — even went to Thanksgiving together once. It was the most surreal experience." "I'm not sure if this qualifies, but it's revenge all on its own: My little sister had a boyfriend, let's call him 'James.' The first thing he said to me once, when we met for a drink, was: 'How does it make you feel that I'm sleeping with your sister?' He was a little prick and I never liked him."

ITV Coronation Street's Gary Windass star is married to famous actress as fans are stunned
Coronation Street actor Mikey North has played Gary Windass on the ITV soap for over a decade and is a firm favourite with fans - but many don't know who his famous wife is. Coronation Street fans have been left stunned after discovering Mikey North's famous spouse. Mikey, who is best known for his role as Gary Windass on the popular ITV soap, first graced the cobbles in 2008. Arriving with the rest of the Windass clan, it wasn't long before he became a beloved character. Over the years, he has been involved in numerous significant storylines. From battling PTSD to navigating failed romances on the cobbles, Gary's stint in Weatherfield has been anything but dull. Particularly recently, as this month saw Gary in a coma in hospital, with the circumstances leading to his condition yet to be disclosed. However, fans have recently been taken aback upon discovering the identity of Mikey's well-known wife. Off-screen, he is happily married to his adoring actress wife, Rachael Isherwood as reported by Leicestershire Live. The couple tied the knot in 2016, three years after they first met. Mikey and Rachael are parents to two children, son Archie, born in 2017, and a daughter Eliza, who they welcomed into the world in 2019. Rachael herself is no stranger to the limelight. The fitness instructor had a significant role in the Hollywood blockbuster, Captain America: The First Avenger, back in 2011, according to MCU Fandom. In the film, Rachael portrayed a USO dancer. Fans have reacted to a picture of Mikey North and his wife Rachael posted on a Coronation Street Facebook fan page. One person commented: "Mikey North and his wife Rachael." Another person quiestioned: "Am I right in thinking she was in a Marvel film a few years ago?" A third added: "Ahhh no way." Someone else exclaimed: "Such a gorgeous couple!". The proposal story is just as charming, as Mikey got down on one knee during a picturesque holiday in the Lake District back in 2015. Recounting the romantic moment to OK!, Mikey revealed: "I asked her to shut her eyes. When she opened them I was down on one knee with the ring. I was looking up at Rachael, with my knees getting wet, and I just said: 'Will you marry me?'". He further recounted: "In the moment before I proposed I was shaking like a leaf. Then when she said yes, I called my mum and just couldn't stop crying." Elsewhere, Mikey has expressed concerns over his potential departure from the ITV soap. Speaking on This Morning regarding Gary's intense current storyline, Mikey made a light-hearted confession about his time in Weatherfield. He shared with presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: "Gary's walked out and has gone missing. We find him in hospital in a coma." Sharon Marshall humorously remarked that Maria often seems to be a 'black widow' on the street, given her history with men. Responding to this, Mikey quipped: "I think I've been with her five or six years counting, so I've probably got about six months left." Recently, Gary has been central to a dramatic plot, now found in a coma in hospital after a savage assault left him fighting for his life. His absence from the show began following a fallout with his wife Maria. Lou had deceitfully implicated Gary in an affair, prompting him to leave Weatherfield under the pretence of visiting his mother Anna Windass. However, when Maria discovered he hadn't gone to Anna's and returned home, Gary was nowhere to be found. With Gary now lying unconscious in a hospital bed after a chilling attack, viewers are left wondering what happened and whether he will recover.

Grandmother's Funny Reaction to Learning Her Real Age Goes Viral: 'I Look Pretty Good!' (Exclusive)
Rachael filmed a casual TikTok while chatting with her elderly grandmother, Ruth In the video, Ruth confidently guesses she's 60 — and her reaction to the truth stuns viewers Rachael says her grandmother's humor and spirit have shaped their close-knit family for generationsIn a now-viral TikTok video, a grandmother named Ruth sits beside her granddaughter Rachael, calmly having a conversation when Rachael asks, 'Wait grandma, how old are you? How old do you think you are?' Without missing a beat, Ruth guesses 60, completely unaware she's off by three decades. When her grandchildren gently tell her the truth, her reaction is pure gold: 'How old?! Did you say 90? That's how old I am?!' She pauses, leans back, and with effortless flair, delivers the line that now lives in TikTok legend: 'Well, I look pretty good for 90!' The moment has struck a chord with millions online, but for Rachael, the charm of her grandmother's surprise is just a glimpse into the woman who's helped shape generations. 'She's hilarious,' Rachael tells PEOPLE. 'As you can see in the video, she's very spunky and confident, and she kind of instilled that confidence in all of us.' Ruth is the matriarch of a sprawling family that includes seven children and more than 50 cousins. For them, her youthful spirit isn't just adorable … it's defining. 'I think she's always had that perspective in life, which has then transferred to all of us,' Rachael adds. Ruth's legacy, she says, is one of laughter, togetherness and a fierce sense of self. The TikTok, overlaid with the caption 'telling my grandma how old she is,' wasn't meant to go viral. It started as a candid, lighthearted family moment during a visit with Rachael's aunt. 'We were all hanging out and I think my aunt had actually, maybe a month or so ago, they were talking about ages,' Rachael explains. 'My grandma is a little forgetful because she's 90, so I think she was just curious again, and I happened to be filming.' Rachael, who works in social media, often captures sweet slices of her grandmother's daily life. 'My grandma was just adorable, so I've been taking a lot of pictures and videos of her recently,' she says. That day, Ruth was feeling especially lively. 'She was a little bit more in an energetic mood that day, so I was like, oh, this is so fun,' Rachael says. 'And I'm sure it'll be funny just because the concept of telling your grandma how old she is, is a little funny too.' So when Ruth guessed 60, Rachael didn't flinch. 'It didn't surprise me too much just because I think she feels young at heart,' she notes. Even though Ruth's memory sometimes falters, her spirit stays sharp. 'She seems like I could totally see her believing that she's fully 60 years old, and we try to treat her as such,' Rachael explains. The family encourages Ruth's independence while helping out when needed. 'We don't want her to feel old, and even if she did, that's totally fine,' Rachael adds. Still, when Ruth finally learned she was 90, her reaction was everything. 'We were not expecting that at all,' Rachael says. 'Sometimes you never know with older people what kind of mood they're in, but she was in such a good mood that day that it was just perfect.' And then there's Ruth's signature sense of style. In the video, she wears a matching outfit; a subtle nod to the decades she's spent encouraging her family to look and feel their best. 'She always encouraged us to feel our best through putting care into the way we look,' Rachael says. 'Even at 90, before she goes to lunch, she'll ask us to fix her hair or make sure her shoes are matching.' Though Ruth doesn't insist on looking 'super proper' every day, Rachael says she still enjoys getting dressed up. 'She's very down to earth,' she adds. 'But she does like looking nicer day to day.' Despite Rachael's background in digital content, she hadn't posted her grandmother online before this. 'But she used to live with me, and she's always just had this great personality,' Rachael says. When she finally did share the video, the response was beyond anything she imagined. 'I didn't expect it to go viral,' she notes. 'But I definitely thought that people would appreciate, whoever did see the video.' What surprised her most was the outpouring of kindness. 'Sometimes on TikTok, I've seen people that are kind of mean or cruel for no reason at all,' Rachael says. 'But I have seen not one mean comment about my grandma.' She's been thrilled to share the love with Ruth. 'I've been so excited to show my grandma the comments and tell her because she loves that kind of stuff too,' Rachael says. For Ruth, the idea that she's now an Internet star is still a bit abstract. 'I don't think she understands the full gauge of how many people saw her and how many people loved her,' Rachael says. 'Like, wait, is that a lot?' Still, Ruth has been excited and appreciative. 'It's honestly been a really fun thing to even bond over more,' Rachael says. 'Because sometimes when you get to a certain age you forget, or maybe life just looks a lot different.' The rest of the family has embraced the moment, too. 'A lot of my cousins were sending it around and laughing about it or commenting,' Rachael says. 'We're all used to her personality, but for everyone to see the response has been really sweet for all of us.' So does Ruth remember now that she's 90? 'That's funny because there's been a time since where she kind of joked about it,' Rachael says. 'But then I think it was last week my aunt texted me she was with her and she forgot again.' For Rachael, growing up with Ruth has been a lifelong lesson in love and nurturing. 'The biggest lesson I learned from my grandma is that nurturing is really important,' she says. 'She always encouraged the family to be close, and she was very nurturing for all of us.' Ruth helped raise Rachael after her husband died. 'She's kind of always lived with different family members and helped take care of us,' Rachael says. 'She's always just been herself,' she adds. 'And it's been amazing to see that for all 90 years, or at least for the 28 years I've gotten to see.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Now, she hopes the video inspires others to celebrate the elders in their lives. 'Letting or allowing the older generations to have the floor sometimes, even if it's a silly video, is important,' Rachael says. 'They have things to share, too.' Recording these moments, Rachael believes, is a way to honor the time we often take for granted. 'Growing to 90 is such a blessing,' she says. 'And also recording your grandparents … it's important, not in a weird way, but just appreciating them more.' Because one day, those videos won't just be funny — they'll be priceless. 'Time is precious,' Rachael says. 'So I love that I have that funny video to remember her with.' Read the original article on People
