i was at home and a family member of mine came over. she showed up with this guy that i couldn't stop looking at. then she says oh, by the way this is your 3rd cousin. we made plans to out the next night. after getting drunk i told him my feelings and he felt the same. we've been together since. i really love him but i know some people could never accept it. i don't really care what they think but i don't want to hurt them. i can't help the way i feel . many times i forget that we're even related. we didn't grow up together so it's not weird in that way. it's more like any other relationship. i love him very much. i was married before and i'm closer to this guy in 5 months than i was to my husband in 3 years. everything seems so right. so how could it be wrong. any advice?

    it isn't weird at all second cousin isnt bad either the only way that your chances of an inbred baby increases is when your related by blood and not just marriage

    Its legal to marry your 3rd cousin so your kids probably won't come out retarded. If you fell for him before you knew he was your cousin its not that bad. It would be so horribly disgustingly nasty if you fell for your brother.

    Dating a first cousin is actually a lot more common than you might think. And dating a third cousin would almost seem commonplace if you saw the statistics for it. Google it if you wanna know.

    If you love each other, hold on to that. Family members and friends may disagree, or in some cases, disown you... But, you're not living to please or make them happy.

    When I was in high school, I had a huge crush on one of my second cousins. At the time, I thought it was weird. Not so much anymore.

    Who cares what people think. If it's true love, then so be it.

    It's so hard to find love, so I say if the two of you have found it go for it!

    It's normal to date your 3rd cousin but don't ever date your 1st or 2nd cousin. I think having kids with your 1st cousin is illegal, but i'm not sure. Lol

    3rd cousin is distantly related enought to be ok. I wouldnt go any closer than that though. So I think that you guys should be ok.

    you're close to this guy because you're related, duh! You could always marry your brother that would be the closest relationship you could have.
