willywombat agony auntI would like you to explain what exactly your perception of a '3rd cousin' is, and then why you think it is gross?

Plus it is not ileagal nor is a realtionship between first cousins. So please...to the anon who gives this bad advice get your facts straight before commenting!!

yes! absolutely.. I dont see why anyone would continue a relationship after finding information like that. I say you cut off the romantic relationship right away and maintain a friendship instead. There are plenty of non cousin fish in the sea.

Good luck!

as long as the two of you are cool with it then it really doesn't matter ... and it's totally legal to boot.

Do you think it's gross? If you don't think it's gross, then do whatever you like - within your regional judicial system of course. We all have opinions of what is wrong and what is right, what is disgusting and what isn't... This is about your wants.

bonym agony auntWell it depends on your own views of morality and religious beliefs etc. My opinion is my opinion and that doesnt mean that I am right and you are wrong or vice versa. I personally would not have a relationship with any cousin being first, second or third because of my personal beliefs but you entered into the relationship unknown to you that you are fairly distantly related. I would not be so arrogant as to say that you are disgusting or say that it is "gross" only you know what is best or good or right for you. Take care. xXx

No, it doesn't really matter, especially if you didn't even know it when you started dating. Also, you probably aren't closely related enough that there would be genetic problems with your kids if you eventually get married.
