She is also having sex during those times.

So Brittany had to be on board with this relationship.

Has no one else here ever dissociated? So odd.

No, I have not dissociated.
But I just read a whole forum in which young adults talked about wetting themselves because they "dissociate" while staring at their phones or playing video games, and were incredulous that most people don't experience this.

If you’ve ever had sex and fantasized about someone, other than who you’re with, that is a form of disassociation.

Cool. I've never done that.

If you've ever driven from A to B and don't have a clear memory of every element of the drive, you dissociated. It's a normal human capacity.

It is not normal to pee yourself while using screens, so you're right about that part, don't worry.

Well if I was Brittany, I'd be pissed.

Life is complicated enough for these two. For practical reasons, marriage isn't feasible.

Three's a crowd.

Luckily, if they are like every other married couple, sex will cease to be a concern after the first year or 2.

What’s the alternative?

Well, the groom's family has stated that he is ONLY in a relationship with Abby, and people have noted that at the wedding, he only paid attention to Abby and only kissed Abby. I think it would be pretty unbearable for Brittany if they were having sex with Josh (because they share a vagina) and he only paid attention to her Abby's head and upper body. Or even if he only really spoke to Abby, only kissed her, was only tender with her.

Some people have speculated that because of the bigamy issue, Josh has to act like he has no relationship with Brittany. I just hope that in private, he acts like a husband to both of them.

I watched these beautiful and brave girls on their TLC show. How wonderful that Abby has found love.

Abby, 34, is now married. According to public records, Abby, a teacher, and Josh Bowling, a nurse and United States Army veteran, tied the knot in 2021. The sisters also shared photos of the wedding on social media. The couple live in Minnesota, where the Hensels were born and raised.

The sisters are both teaching fifth grade in Minnesota.

I mean...obviously?

Surprising. I knew one was a fifth grade teacher in Minnesota. But I thought the other was a rodeo clown in New Mexico.

Omg THANK YOU. I am still laughing out loud.

Same. Why am I laughing so much.

You don't know anything about these ladies. They have been publicly saying since they were teens that they wanted to get married and have kids. They obviously understand how complicated that is but also, they dont know any different. They dont know a life apart. We can't possibly put our understand and expectations of a relationship on their unique situation.

As kids there is no way they could have understood the ethical and consent issues around dating, marriage, and reproduction.

I’m sort of imagining B reading a book or watching TV while the other two have sex. I mean, be honest, what married person hasn’t occasionally wanted to just watch TV or read during…..

That would be pretty difficult, given how her head sort of comes out of Abby's shoulder, how they each control half of the body, and how they have a single vagina.

Setting aside all of the curious questions around their marriage, I can’t imagine always having someone attached to you and never having any time to yourself or any privacy. It has to be exhausting at some point because wouldn’t you just want a break from your sibling. Obviously they’ve made it work and have coped with it into adulthood but wow it makes my head spin just thinking about it

With two heads on one body, do they each feel the whole body? I don’t know which person is in which side, but can Abbey feel the arm on Brittany’s side? If there’s a stomachache do they both feel it? If Brittany broke her leg would Abbey feel it? But then if one has a headache, is it just one of them feeling it? Where is that “line”?

Do they both feel the urge to poop/pee?

There was an interview with them where they said they can physically feel the other's emotions- they were in the store once and one felt their stomach drop- realized the other had just spotted someone taking a pic of them. Crazy.

But they know no different. You are thinking about it from your perspective.

+1 I couldn't do it. But also, this is the only life they know or have ever known. What we're imagining as anomalous, is just their regular life.
