The anonymous woman explained that she dreams about her husband’s son and is going ‘crazy’ for ‘mentally cheating’ *stock image*[/caption]
Keen to open up on the situation, the anonymous woman took to social media to reveal all, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting on Reddit, on the r/offmychest forum, the confused woman titled her post ’Discovering I might have feelings for my step-son. I hate myself for it.’
She then shared some context to her situation and revealed that after recently getting married to her partner of eight years, she has been left with confusing feelings.
She explained: “We have had difficulties and insecurities in our relationship previously and he really tried and went out of his way to make sure we made it.
“I have tremendous love and respect for my husband. In fact our sex life is great too.
“And we are both completely committed and into each other, a rarity in a lot of couples who have been together too long.
“Now comes the issue I am facing. My husband has three kids from his previous partner. I have two.
“The kids are great together and have formed a great sibling kind of bond. I cannot ask for more and we as parents are really blessed how things have played out.
“But my husband’s eldest son is just 12 years younger than me. So we have formed a friendship as opposed to a step-mother/son relationship.”
Whilst her husband’s eldest son does not call her mum like the other kids, she described him as a “lovely lad” and claimed that he is “doing well in his life”.
Following this, she admitted: “I have recently realised I display feelings of having a crush on him.
“I cannot give him eye contact when we converse. I am pretty sure I blush and my insides feel weird.
“I hate this and have reprimanded myself for feeling so inappropriate.”
Not only this, but she then opened up about a very “recent development”, as she confessed: “Most disturbing is that I dream of him. A lot.
“In my dreams he is always the one initiating contact/intimacy towards me. I always see myself shying away from him but he is always projecting warmth and affection openly towards me.”
Clearly unsure on what to do, the woman acknowledged: “I am so confused by this weird situation.
Every time our fingers have touched or we sat close I have felt this electrifying wave of heat between us

“I know very well this is inappropriate for even crossing my mind but how do I put an end to this.
“I thought of seeing a counsellor but was too embarrassed to open up about this.
“In reality, my step-son dotes on me, shows me respect and genuine affection.
What your sexual fantasies say about you
By Emma Kenny, a TV presenter and psychologist
Raucous Role Play: If your partner enjoys dressing up for fun, it shows creativity and a desire to keep things exciting. However, it might signal that he struggles with responsibility.
Multi-Partner Fantasies: Craving variety doesn’t always mean he wants to cheat. However, it could indicate deeper feelings of unfulfillment.
Power & Control: A little dominance is normal, but if it’s always about control, it may hide insecurities.
Adventure: Men seeking thrills may push boundaries, so be sure your comfort zone is respected.
Passion: If he’s romantic, he’s emotionally tuned in—though occasionally avoiding tough conversations.
Flexibility: Openness to new experiences is great, but constant novelty-seeking could mean avoiding emotional connection.
Red Flag: If control is his ultimate fantasy, it may signal a deeper struggle with power dynamics.
“We also share a chemistry of some kind whereas we are always each other’s first choice as a partner in games and debates or ganging up against his father.
“We may have held hands or mistakenly touched, or sat really close to each other during movie nights.
“Other than this there has been zero physical connection. Yet every time our fingers have touched or we sat close I have felt this electrifying wave of heat between us.”
I think it’s time for therapy
Reddit user
Eager for advice, she questioned: “Not sure if I have started reading into things. Not sure if my step-son has guessed it by now. What if my husband reads into this?!
“I hate myself and am going crazy with guilt. I also feel I have lost some respect for myself for mentally cheating on my husband.
“I don’t know what to do. What are your views? Is this a phase (10-12 months) or am I a questionable amoral woman?”
Reddit users react
Reddit users were left open-mouthed by the woman’s confession and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts – with countless users encouraging the mother to seek advice from a professional therapist.
One person said: “This is the nastiest s**t ever omg.”
Another added: “I think it’s time for therapy.”
Whilst a third advised: “This is NOT okay. Distance yourself from your step-son and go seek help with a therapist.”
