Is it that weird that my brother and I snuggle?
Basically the title. My brother (23m) and I (23f) are twins. We live together, too, so we spend a lot of time together (we both go to grad schools in the same city).
Anyway, sometimes we cuddle while hanging out, talking (like if one of us is sad about something, etc.) or watching tv. It’s not a secret, and my new boyfriend thinks it’s “extremely weird” to be that close with a sibling. He’s “uncomfortable” with it. I think it’s gross that my BF is acting jealous of my relationship with my brother. However, we’ve spoken to some friends and gotten mixed reactions ranging from “wtf” to “must be a twin thing” to “doesn’t seem that weird”.
So, I want the opinion of unbiased strangers. Is it that weird that we cuddle?
Edit: I’ve been told in PMs to include the following. We don’t generally “spoon” unless we fall asleep cuddling and happen to wake up that way. Our other brothers never mentioned it being weird growing up. Our parents were taken out of the picture when we were very young so we never had their input on the subject either way; the person who raised us never said anything, though.
Edit 2: a word for privacy
Edit 3: yes, we are American
Edit 4: sigh, yes, another. I do not cuddle with my twin in front of my boyfriend. I think I have held twin’s hand in front of bf and sat between them on the couch for scary movie night but that’s about it. For the most part, if boyfriend is over, twin is out with a girl, other friends, or in his room. Or bf and I are in my room. Mostly we don’t spend time at the condo. So it’s not that I’m cuddling with twin instead of boyfriend.
Also, stop a)sicking the Reddit resources crisis line on me and b) messaging me to ask what I/my brother look like and for my socials. Special shout-out to the guy who offered to take a 23 and me to find out if he and I are related. Knock it off.
