Boyfriend Slept With His First Cousin Removed

[SazzyC0]

I am not with him anymore but when we were on a break he slept with her. We are still friends and he told me last night he slept with her more than once, I understand that this is legal etc, but it's not something I would do, he doesnt see a problem with it...

oooooooooooooooooooooooh noth thats just... just... ewwwwwwwww!

[SazzyC0]

Hmmm, at least he didnt do that, now that would be weird

but then I guess my cousins are not much to look at and who knows if I may feel different if they were, theyd have to have brain transplants too though. Being from Norfolk everyone says we all have 6 fingers and webbed feet because of the interbreeding and I guess its true in the smaller towns most people are related and there are certain surnames you hear more than others. But I guess you'd have to be in their shoes and I cant imagine what the couple I know went through when finding out she was pregnant.

My cousin and I are very close - although I've never slept with him or even snogged him - and it's quite likely that, had our individual circumstances been different at certain points in our lives, we'd have ended up together. As it is, he is my best friend, even though we live 8000 miles apart.

Noth3 - As I understand it the definition of incest is sexual relations with those whom it is forbidden to marry. You cannot marry your grandparents.

half the royal families of Europe have had cousins marrying somewhere down the line. That includes Victoria and Albert, who were first cousins. So it's not all that outlandish

A lot of people in my grandparent's generation married first cousins! Perhaps that is why is am what I am!

there's a programme on the tv tonight about something similar, can't remember which channel.

Was he from Norfolk ?

[sandyRoe]

A big Irish family? That explains everything, then.

is a first cousin removed a blood relative?

and there rests my point about people saying about Norfolk.

My daughter's step-brother snogged me......he wasn't bad either.

a quick back of envelope calculation makes the consanguinity 1/32 (I could easily be wrong) if so what with the general uncertainty of our parentage ( I think about 10% are wrong) I think it isn't much different from the population average. If children aren't produced,does it matter?
