This was so interesting, opening up the mysteries of twindom for those who haven’t personal experience of it. I can see the co-dependency aspect. And I would love it if you interviewed your sister! Ideally to hear your conversation 💗
I enjoyed this! My sister and I are fraternal twins, and I related to a lot of this (we are both more like Elizabeth too than Jessica- love Sweet Valley books). I have been married for 10 years, and she has been married for 9 years. We live 30 minutes from each other and usually see each other weekly. She is a lawyer, and I am an infant teacher, so professionally we are not similar at all, but we do like the same books, shows, and read many of the same substacks. She has two boys (7 and 4) and I have a daughter who is 4, so our pregnancies did overlap somewhat as well. We definitely never liked the same guy. I was always more into tall guys, and she dated shorter guys. My husband and hers are very different from each other.
Thanks so much for sharing. I have identical twin boys so loved reading this insight from adult twins
You are welcome! I hope it was helpful and highly recommend Dr. Joan Friedman's work on how to raise twins!

I know. I will make sure to interview her. Also, she went through a divorce in her twenties so she has experience with that as well!.

I love that you did your own Twin Talk! I think it is fascinating to interrogate aspects of our lives that we just take for granted.
