I don't want to hurt anybody, so should i be a utilitarian in this situation or carry on. I really love him soo much i hate arguing with him and we love each other loads. We can't stand being apart and i've tried to break it off but it gets harder each time he just manages to get me back. Am i weak or right to do so? Reply to this Question

I am a mother of two step children and a biological child. We have raised them as "brothers & sisters" they dont see each other as steps.. Did you grow up in the same house? Did you have a brother/sister relationship? You are right age doesnt really matter but it does matter what your relationship was growing up.. need more info..

 You have the right to resist such relationship under the British law because these fall under "Fobidden Degrees of Relationship"
Throughout the United Kingdom and the British Crown dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man, the law forbids certain blood relatives, step-relatives and relatives-in-law from getting married. These restrictions are officially know as forbidden degrees of relationship. The prohibitions apply to illegitimate as well as legitimate relationships. There are exceptions relating to certain step-relatives and relatives-in-law, which are explained later in this article
A woman may not marry her:
Brother (also half-brother or step-brother)

And as for my age, what does it matter, I am more mature than most people my age I am not stupid and would not get into situations i didn't want to get in. Thanks so far x

There is nothing wrong or illegal about it, because you are not blood related. You are not a true brother and sister because you do not have the same common blood ancestor.

But it is not a crime to date your STEP brother and if your really wanting to commit then you should tell your parents who will probably have an issue with your age more then the fact that your step brother and sister.
