Conjoined twins still comfortably go on dates: The younger sister appears invisible, the older sister has to "give in" one thing

Even though they are conjoined, the two sisters can still date like normal people. When going out with her boyfriend, the older sister will let the younger sister choose the location and decide on entertainment activities for all three of them.

Lupita Andrade and Carmen Andrade are 22-year-old conjoined twins living in Connecticut (USA).

The two girls, who moved from Mexico to the US when they were children, are connected at the torso and share the same pelvis and reproductive system.

Each person has two arms, but only one leg. Carmen controls the right side of the person and the left side is Lupita.

In 2002, when Lupita and Carmen were first born, doctors made dire predictions about the sisters' health condition, that Lupita and Carmen could only live a few days. But then things went much better than the doctors expected.

Despite all the difficulties due to sharing almost all the lower body parts, the two girls have learned to coordinate with each other smoothly and do some things that surprise everyone such as somersaults, running and jumping and playing the piano. piano. Lupita plays the piano with her left hand and Carmen uses her right hand.

Regarding her current love life, Carmen said she and her boyfriend Daniel McCormack have been dating for 2.5 years after meeting through a dating app. When the two go out, every meeting has the presence of... Lupita.

While Carmen was dating her boyfriend, Lupita found every moment unbearable, wishing she could automatically block everything from the outside world for now.

This caused Lupita to lose a lot of personal space. She felt sad every day, so she proactively talked to Carmen about it. After the two sisters confided frankly, everything became more comfortable.

Regarding Carmen, when deciding to enter into a relationship with her boyfriend, she also had to think a lot: "I will have to clearly tell Lupita and my boyfriend about the things that both parties need to agree on. This is It's been a learning process for all three of us. We've had conversations about boundaries that need to be set."

Carmen shares: "Sometimes I feel guilty because I want to spend as much time with Daniel as possible. So we try to compromise, like Lupita will choose where we go for dinner or an activity." That's to do on the appointment."

"Daniel has never been nosy about the situation between me and Lupita," Carmen revealed.

In fact, on social networks, Lupita and Carmen also received many rude comments and questions, but they did not let those things make them feel afraid of life, the community or cyberspace. Both of them agreed that they would not consider themselves disabled.

Despite the rumors of outsiders, Lupita - Carmen still enjoys life by going to the movies, listening to music or traveling abroad.
