There's been a rumor that years ago my boyfriend of 2 years has slept with his aunt multiple times. His aunt is divorced from his uncle, she was only related by marriage. He tells me this is just a rumor, that he would never sleep with his aunt.

I guess she cheated on his uncle and because of that his uncle got paranoid and accused him of sleeping with her. But even his roommate says its true. But he says his roommate just wants us to be miserable like he is (he's recovering from a break up).

His aunt denies the whole thing too. His whole family suspected they were. But they both claim to be victims of a rumor. I haven't seen anything that made them seem close. Other than Facebook messages when he was younger and there wasn't really anything explicit or out-of-the-ordinary.

The texts between them on his phone was mainly relationship advice they give eachother. And he told her I knew about the rumor and that he "squashed it like he always does". I don't know what to think.

Interesting...but hard to tell. Someone knows the real truth but it would be hard to really know what the real truth is.

Word got back to me in my family that my second cousin had an affair with a man that her divorced aunt (my first cousin) decided to marry. The affair was before my first cousin's divorce but my second cousin was married at the time when she had this affair. So the rumours goes. Then I heard my first cousin was making moves on men before she got her divorce. Lots of flapping mouths in my family.

Paranoia from the uncle reflected back on his nephew. He was trying to find someone to point a finger at for his failing marriage.

I guess it really comes down to if you can trust him.

These are probably just rumours, just because his family are saying it's true, it doesn;t mean it is.

I have a family who likes to spread rumours and you would be amazed at the rubbish they say, when it comes to someone in the family.

It could have started by his uncle's insecurities, then someone who is jealous of your boyfriend for whatever reason confirms it just to make your boyfriend look bad.

If you trust him, then believe him, you have said in your update, it seems nothing untoward or unusual to me. I would believe it, and what does it matter anyway, they are not blood related and if you were not together at the time it doesn't really matter does it? I would ignore it unless you have proof, and so far what you have said in your update, nothing is going on now and that is what matters. Good Luck.

It's hard to say with not knowing him but I would think that it could be true if all the people closest to him are saying it and not just a couple were saying it. But even if they did it is probably something that happened and that they have moved on from. And although its not the ideal person its not like their blood related so either way i wouldn't let it worry you, i would just move on from it.

taytaytya is verified as being by the original poster of the question

The most I've ever seen him do for her these days (since it doesn't appear that they talk often) is bring her cigarettes when he's on his way home from school (college) and that's usually if she has money to pay him. Or take her daughter to visit her (she has no car or license, and again, this is usually if she pays him gas money). But both of these things seem to be rare occasions. And I was with him a couple times when he had ran such errands. Though there was one time where he gave her cigarettes but didn't tell me that that's what he did after school. I didn't treat it as a big deal.
