My Wife’s Family Interactions 1

Long story short, my wife is the product of artificial insemination. For those of you who don’t know, in the state of California where her donor “father” provided his nut, there is a 30 “family unit” limit. What had happened was, my wife jumped on 23 and me…
Shit got wild y’all. Super fucking awesome in my opinion. They have a group thus far that was made up of those who provided their genetics to ancestry and 23 and me, I call them halflings, they are almost halfway there with 14 currently in the group. I’m so jealous cause I only have one sister and have always wanted more siblings.
Aight, meat and potatoes. She seems to not really be interested in meeting many of them in person and I’m so bummed. They live all over the US in Oregon, Cali, Colorado, North Carolina, all ages. Her donor fathers jizz was on the market for over a decade. We travel so much and I haven’t been to a lot of the states her sisters and brothers live in.
Is it messed up of me to want to influence/encourage her to meet her halflings? Please let me know your thoughts.

So… you want to encourage your wife to reach out to these “halflings” so that you can take advantage of them in a time of vulnerability and get to visit where they live? Maybe vacation and get to know them some while giving them false hope of actually having more of a family connection they have been missing.
In all seriousness though, I would make sure that you talk to your wife a lot and make sure you are being sensitive to what her emotions are. Stuff with family can really stir things up for people so just remember to be mindful.
Best of luck with the Halflings

It's an interesting phenomenon. But sounds like your wife may not be interested maybe it weirds her out.
It really is her decision. But I'm my previous marriage anytime either of us didn't get our way we would just pout and be passive aggressive arse holes to each other and never really solve the issue.
Dont do that.
If you have a good discussion about it and she still won't budge. your kinda out of luck and should probably drop it.
I love hearing peoples experiences in life and often ask over the line questions and sometimes people won't tell me and it's been really hard to accept being told no.

I have two siblings from my mother and two known siblings from my father and have no interest knowing any of these people even though I lived with some of them for the first 20 years of my life.
I now know nobody who shares my blood and have no interest reconnecting... maybe she doesn’t either?

I think she is concerned they are going to hit her up for money which I totally get. It just seems weird to me personally that she would not want to get to know her siblings. No bullshit, one of them is one of the main characters in the syfy show Pandora.

I think you would be surprised how much unknown family the average person has, after joining 23&me + AncestryDNA I found I had dozens of first cousins none of us knew about, hundreds of 2nd-4th cousins, a few aunts and uncles... none of us have anything in common, before the dna connection we were just random strangers and after we are still strangers albeit less random. I would feel more urge to meet someone from the Shroomery, who has a lot more in common with me and similar interests.
Blood bonds aren’t much to go off of if none of you know your common ancestor
