Is this wrong?

[surfersmurf]

I am in love with my aunt's niece. She's my aunt by marriage to my uncle. Me and her niece have no blood relation to eachother whatsoever. I don't even think there is a term for our relationship family-wise. Is this wrong? Or is it ok to be in love with her. Please help me, this is eating me up inside. I've never felt this way about another person before...

Thanks for your help

That's awkward.

Anyway, I would say that it's frowned upon whether or not you're blood relatives.

She is one of your cousins by marriage.
I'm not sure what type of cousin she is to you though (second, one removed etc).

It is weird to have these feelings for a family member tbh.

i just met her last summer and no one told me we were related. Shit.... Ok thanks for your help..

:(

You haven't done anything wrong so don't beat yourself up over it!

Just with the marriage and all, it wouldn't be advisable to pursue a romantic or sexual relationship with her.

That said, this is only my opinion on the matter.
Other people would say that since there are no blood relations between the two of you then you are free to pursue any type of relationship you both wish.

I disagree. She's not a close relation, not a blood relative as you've already said. I dont think you should feel any problem with it at all.

I should add that I dont know what the legal situation would be where you are. Here in the UK there would be no legal problem whatsoever, you're not closely related enough for it to be an issue.

Tbh, your question as to whether this situation is wrong leaves lots of room for us all to give our individual opinions. I confess that this is what I have done.

I would be surprised if there were a law against this.
The bigger stumbling block is on a more personal note with regard to how people (her included) would perceive and react to such a union.

[surfersmurf]

Yeah that's sort of what I was thinking about as well. But we've discussed our relationship family-wise and have come to the conclusion that we arent related in any way thats meaningful (once again, family-wise) so I think I should be alright. God this girl gives me butterflies

Yeah, you guys aren't "really" related.
It's not your fault that your aunt got married to someone in her family.
And you can't change who you fall in love with really. And since there's no blood relation, there's nothing wrong with that.

JESUS FROWNS UPON YOU.
