It’s more of a feeling than anything else but we have childhood memories at least, experienced the same parents and family in general, look like each other, etc. and those are not things a friendship or surrogate could provide. Somehow we also ended up having exactly some of the same kind of experiences and hobbies and interests without knowing the other had them too at the time. If I became an aunt I’d want to know. No racism but I think genetics are being underrated here.
Not the main issue and I’m not looking to exploit him or anything but it would also just be practical in the case of an emergency (anything he’d legally have a say in if I didn’t if my parents died like institutionalization, coma, death, whatever).

That doesn’t mean it’s rational and the option to rationalize is pretty cool if he does end up hating me forever because Raven and naps are probably right.
