Im in love with this girl I met last summer in FL. She loves me back and all and we plan on spending this summer together and I might be moving their for school so I can be with her longer. The thing is that I met her because her mom is going out with my uncle. They arn't married yet so we arn't really cousins but when they do marry we will be cousins. Im just wondering if anybody thinks this is wrong? I don't think it is because 1. we arn't blood relatives 2. we don't consider each other cousins we consider each other great friends 3. I love her and could care less if people think its wrong or disgusting.

Technically, there’s nothing wrong with it now. Problem will be if and when your uncle decides to marry her mom. And unless you are trailer-trash, I’m pretty sure your family will highly disapprove of your relationship with her, as unfair as it may sound to you. My advice, keep it at friendship level until uncle and mom are no longer dating.

Even if your mom marries her uncle, you won't be cousins.

^Well its her mom and my uncle, and thats how I see it. And as for us just keeping us as just friends its a little to late since we've already denounced our love for each other, so it would be to hard to just be friends. And it wouldn't really be to trashy if we were boyfriend/girlfriend before we were "cousins", since we would only be cousins according to the a piece of paper. And they do plan on getting married and I don't think it would be possible for me to wait that long for them to break up, just not talking to her for two weeks(she can't talk to me at her dads since he doesn't want her talking to me so I have to wait till she goes to her moms) is a long time for me.

OK, your uncle and her mom. You still won't be related. Yes, you'll both be part of the extended family, but not legally related and you certainly won't be real "cousins".

You would be her stepfather's nephew. She would be your stepaunt's daughter.

I don't see anything "wrong" with it. It just depends on how the family feels about it. Maybe they think it's OK. Maybe they think it's a little too close for comfort.

While it may not be "wrong" it may be more than some people in your family want to deal with.

What do you think?

Marry her quick. Then tell your uncle how disgusting he is for boning his cousin.

I'm My Own Grandpa

( Lonzo & Oscar )

It sounds funny, I know,

But it really is so,

Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

I'm my own grandpa.

I'm my own grandpa.

It sounds funny, I know,

But it really is so,

Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,

I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.

This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.

My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,

My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.

To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,

I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,

And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.

For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother

Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,

And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.

My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,

Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,

And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,

For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw

As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa.

I'm my own grandpa.

It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,

Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
