I was at a rubbish family party last night, and my second cousin who I haven't seen since I was 15 (note he's now 41 & i'm 24) was really flirting with me, smacked my bum, kept grabbing me and asked me out for a drink.
So so wrong. :shock: We're related.
Does anyone actually think this would be ok?
Note: I have no intention of anything, it just staggers me he was like that.
I wouldn't feel comfortable personally.
In the the formal settlements of Israel there are large creches. The members appear to treat each other as siblings. Research suggest that there is a natural 'non-attractiveness' between those raised together. Does this help to explain your cousin.
Whether the relationship is legal or not is not the real issue here, if it feels wrong then it IS wrong and best not to take it any further.
Perhaps the age difference is another factor to be considered.
Just our opinion, obviously some cousins can and have had a good relationship without any hang-ups. It is down to the individuals own feelings at the end of the day.
You obviously aren't entirely happy or you wouldn't be asking this question. If you aren't happy don't do it.
What if you met someone and then found out you were related? Is it the fact that you remember this person from you childhood that's putting you off or the fact that you're related?

On subject, in general,, if something feels wrong to you, it probably is wrong for you.
Not quite on subject, but the whole near relation thing is a potential minefield for the future due to some of the laws relating to confidentiality. The children conceived from Sperm and egg donors, or from legal adoptions may not even know who their real genetic relations are. Although the chances of having a relationship with a very close genetic relation may not be huge, it will happen from time to time and the people involved will be the ones left picking up the pieces.
would it have made a difference if h'ed have been
a) more your age
b) less of a groper and more of a seducer
or if you werent
a) been married
b) as fit as you sound..........
My partner's mother's first cousin, is married to my mothers sister... and thats close enough!!
I couldnt imagine being in a relationship with my cousin but then again we are a close family so I see them more as siblings
