My dad has an uncle, Brian (my great uncle), and Brian is married to Annie. Annie is not my great aunt by blood, she's my great aunt by marriage.Annie has a blood-related sister named Toni. Toni's son is Luke.Luke and I have been dating for 5 years.Is this incestuous? Technically I am not blood related to Annie, Toni, or Luke, but because of the marriage of my great uncle to his aunt, Luke and I share a few cousins and he does call my uncle "uncle" too. Which freaks me out.We have no blood between us, we have NO ancestors in common, this was all thoroughly checked out beforehand. But it still freaks me out and makes me feel embarrassed :( I don't know what to do. I love him but every once in a while I get upset about this situation!

In other words, not even.
It would be highly likely for most people to grow up and die without ever knowing anyone as related to them as you are to your man. In fact almost all people probably do.
You are essentially strangers who fell in love. Try to remember that.

 There's no "blood" connection... hence no DNA connection.... Soooo, what's keeping you from carrying on just as you have been????
By-the-by: WHO is grilling you, these days, about what (if any) is your "family" tie with the guy you date?????

 I called many family friends aunt and uncle as a sign of respect in my family... we were not blood related at all...
you are not related at all and you have been dating a long time... this is not incest in any way shape or form.
does the family give you a hard time?
