  • When Families Crush on The Same Person




    Mr. Lion

    Rumer Willis mentioned to a British magazine that she'd had a huge crush on her now- stepfather, Ashton Kutcher, before he started dating her mother (her mom, Demi Moore, married Ashton in 2005).

    "I remember mum saying her new 'friend' was going to hang out with us. I said, 'What's his name?' and she said, 'It's Ashton'. And I said, 'Whoa – Ashton Kutcher?' I freaked out a bit and blushed."

    Imagine a teenager having to deal with her mom dating her crush! Rumer had pictures of Ashton all over her room  . . . then he starts living in the next room over.  Wow, I wonder how awkward those dinner conversations were.

    This reminds me of my crush on my cousin's wife. She went to school with my older sister and would come over all the time.  She was gorgeous and I talked about her to my older cousin all the time. Little did I know, they were dating - they just didn't tell anyone about it.  Whenever I told him something about how much I liked her, he just agreed, with a smirk on his face. They married after 3 years of dating. I was shocked. He probably figured I was just a kid with a crush on someone too old for me.

    I see her often now, and at first it was weird. What do you really say? I mean, I had a huge crush on her and now she's a part of my family. After a few visits and conversations, we became really comfortable around each other and I told her. We got a good laugh out of it. She knew it was just a crush, and she's 7 years older than me; I was 15 when I first met her. No way it would have worked out back then. Ahh man, those were the days.

    Ever crush on someone a friend or family liked as well? What would you do if that were to happen?

    I think it's more that he beat you to it, and was thus smirking.

    That's awkward, especially in Demi Moore & her daughter's situation. The crush wasn't that much older than her yet her mom snagged him. Blech!

    I don't know how I'd react if something like that happened.. I'd be too uncomfortable with the awkwardness & perhaps avoid them for a while until I was okay with the situation. >.<

    Lol that's funny, I never thought about it a lot before. Mainly because my sisters are a lot younger than me so that was never a problem, haha. Though I do think they usually end up loving my boyfriend more than I do. On my last break up my 8yro sister cried more than I did, haha.

    Never have and I don't intend too. If we get along, I'm ok with being friends and nothing more.

  • elr6355@xanga

    It would be awkward.  I don't know how I would handle it.  I haven't had a crush on anybody that somebody else was with and nobody has ever said they had a crush on somebody I have been with.

  • awokenfatality@xanga

    What could I do? Absolutely nothing. I'm not a homewrecker to begin with and I would never betray a member of my family like that. I would just have to live with it as it would probably pass.

  • sandypandee@xanga

    Never happened to me since me and my friends stick to the rule book but if it did happen...eh´..no guy is worth fighting over. Plenty of good ones out there...I think

  • kash@healthkicker

    @sandypandee@xanga - yeah i've heard guys use that one too. bros over hoes. lol 

  • xCamCamFanx@xanga

    my sister and i had a crush on the same guy then i dated him. at the time i was 13, my sister was 10 and the guy in question was 14. he turned out to be an ass and not worth my time so i convinced my sister to get over him even though he'd never look at her seeing as she's 4 years younger lol. chicks before dicks lol. there's another one for you lol

  • hopelessromantic

    Oh man if my crush all of a sudden became my step dad I would KILL MYSELF. But I mean, it's just a celeb crush and if she really cared about it I hope she would've talked to her mom about it.

  • reckless_eagle@xanga

    Well it's better a crush than a full-blown love. At least you can still get over the feelings in a short while. But if you had fallen in love and then the love of your life starts dating or marries to someone else, you'll be heartbroken.

  • two_days_until_forever

    Oh my gosh, if my mom married my crush... uh, whoa! I would feel a little betrayed if that happened in my family in any cross-way. That would be so awkward! I... can't... even... imagine...

    That ain't ever happened in my family cause we all got diferent taste in who we wanna be with. Besides, there's a 12 year age diference between my brother and me (he's older) and my parents are in their 60s almost 70.

  • wewong@xanga

    none like that, just thought some of my friends' sisters grew up to be pretty hot, but i had to stick to the non-datable clause.  at the same time it's kinda gross because they're like sisters to me.

    I had a crush on a guy that my best friend was talking to. She would just smile and agree when I said stuff, but didn't tell me anything untill it they wanted to move to the next step and things might get serious,and painful for me. I noticed the connection a little before she said something. And so I started praying that the feelings would go away, if he wasn't the one for me. Shortly after they decided to get a little more serious,she approached me and talked to me about it and asked "my permission" to pursue the realtionship. I was getting over him by then and said yea defn. She asked are you sure and I said, I am pretty sure that you guys might be the real daeal, so go on, I am over him. I love her for carrying about me and our friendship that much! She will always be one of my best friends! Apaprently they are the real deal, they are now married with a beautiful daughter and another on the way.


    So if I am crushing on someone that a friend or family member is also attracted to I will back off and let things play out from there. If I were in the situation that I was talking to someone and than come to find out that a someone close to me is crushing on them I would talk to them and make things right with them as I pursue the relationship. I'd be very conscious of there feelings.

    What's weird, is in my family, My aunt Diann married one of my sister's best friends from high school. My aunt and my sister are actually pretty close in age thought. I remember sitting at the wedding reception and having Chris say to my sister "You know, it's Uncle Chris to you now."

    I've never personally had a crush on the same person as a family member, although, I think that my sister and I have very similar tastes, Her husband is just so great to her, but I never had a crush on him.

  • StabbedPillow@xanga

    Only thing that happened was my sister had a crush on one of my best friends in high school. She had the crush come and go BEFORE I really hung out with the guy. So when he was my friend, my sister hated him. Fun stuff. lol

  • MommySherrell@xanga

    My BF in HS and I crushed on the same guy forEVER. She admitted to him her feelings and it totally freaked him out. I kept my mouth shut and continued our friendship.

    Then he went to college, my BF and I went to a frat party, some alcohol later we all ended up in the same bed, but nothing happened because my BF started crying and I was too nice (back then) to go thru with what I wanted with this guy by myself (in the SHOWER.....oh regrets...*sigh*) and they ended up having a huge email fight and she hated him and he turned to me and I was very supportive...er...not a biotch about the whole ordeal, so we remained friends.

    Unfortunately for both of us fate would have it that whenever one of us was free to date, the other was taken. 10 years later I'm married and he's dating the love of his life.

    I think I should've chosen HIM instead of my friend, but then my life would be completely different now.
