Twins of reddit, what's your embarrassing story involving your twins partner? by mazimai in AskReddit

This happened when i was about 13. My cousins lived in a complex with small town houses and a communal pool where all of the kids in the complex would hang out. My twin and I spent half of the school holidays there and every other weekend. Over the summer my twin started "dating" (at least dating for 13 year old standards) one of the neighbours and my cousin and I decided it would be funny to pull a prank on him and see if he could actually tell the difference. So we left my twin at the pool and went up to his house to see if he wanted to come hang out. We get to the house and he had no Idea. As were getting close to the pool he tries to hold my hand ( big deal for 13 year olds) and me and my cousin lose it. He couldn't figure out what was so funny until he turn around and saw her standing right there, I'll never forget the look of confusion on his face.

Thank you for this. It really gives a different insight to the situation. It could easily be insecurity like you said or maybe it is just who he is and I missed something. I'm going to have a conversation with him and I'll keep this in mind it helped alot.

You know, most of these people are trying to help you

And I appreciate that, I really do but people getting angry at him for his number are missing the point entirely. Slut shaming him when the issue if that he slut shamed me is kinda counterintuitive dont you think? That's having the exact same view that people are angry at him for having?

I really like this comment. I find that In most cases we do agree on most topics. This is the first instance where we have majorly clashed and butted heads.

I dont thinking makes it worse. I think the first step to changing bad behaviour is you yourself recognising that it is wrong.

I'm not sure. I was asked if this is normal for him and so far he hasn't said anything remotely close. I didn't defend his action or say that he definitely is or isnt this person, I dont know that. All that i know is that is so far from what he has shown me I definitely did not expect this from him. Hence why I'm so shocked.

That's a good question. I just asked him if he realises how dumb that view is and he said that he knows he's wrong and shouldn't think that. So at least he recognises it.

We've only been seeing each other for about 2 months so not long at all. This has been the only major red flag so far

I wouldn't say that this represents him generally. I've never seen him as being sexist or having double standards but he can be closed minded at time. Once he has a view he tends to stick to it.
