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...

[bednobs]

right, is there a question?

[lumination]

i think its illegal when its your first cousin... so like your mum's sisters daughter or something.

Well it's certainly distasteful (in my opinion) but since you're not with him anymore then I can't see why you should even be thinking about it.

[bednobs]

it's not illegal

[SazzyC0]

Just wondering what other people think of this?

[SazzyC0]

It is his cousins child

[lumination]

agree with ted on this

[saxy_jag]

It's not illegal in the UK, although I know it is some US states.

I really don't have a problem with it, morally, although I'm not sure what complications could arise if they had children.

[redcrx]

if you ever saw my cousin, youd know exactly why having sex with them would never enter my thoughts!

is there really any point in you dwelling in it, you and he had split up

[saxy_jag]

Ted, surely cousins ARE blood relatives? Unless one is adopted or whatever, but then they wouldn't be true cousins anyway.

[lumination]

oh sazzy i would say that i wouldnt judge him but i would find that a bit weird...

[SazzyC0]

I do find it a bit weird, I had got over it though until he told me that last night

hmmmm it would bother me a lot if i was going out with him, think it would really put a dampner on things actually...

[4getmenot]

in my eyes sick with anyone in family. Cousins surely still share blood. Yuk. Although i do know someone that lost a daughter due to it being offspring of 2 relations

[lumination]

oh there is a tv show on at some point. think its called something like 'when cousins marry'. think its on a popular channel, more than likely channel 4. looks quite interesting in a strange way.

Well, its good to know other peoples opinions on this. I suppose it may be to do with where / how you were brought up too. Personally it's just not something I would do, but his family are different to mine, he has a big Irish family
