Is it wrong to not let go? I wish I would have known from the start I would not have even went there but I love him dearly Reply to this Question

in my religion, you can not be with your father, son or brother. but it's ok to be with your cousin.

 I think it really matter as to HOW you are related.. by blood or by extended family intermarrying?

 I live in a very small town, and beleive it or not i do hear countless stories of how people get together and then happen to find out they are related in some way.
I can imagine how much it must hurt to find out that someone you love in a relationship way, is then revealed to acutally be family.
However how are you related? There are many people who feel being in a relationship with there second cousin or even first cousin is okay, and tbh in your situation i would say aslong as there is no implications to do with your familes opinions on this, then i beleive it is perfectly acceptable to remain in a relationship with this person due to you both acutally being in romantic love with eachother before you knew.
I can say i would find it hard after finding out what you have, to have a family bond or relationship with that same person simply because i would know that i infact loved them in a whole new way.
Its your opinion what you do, being related by 2nd or 3rd cousins and still being in a relationship in my opinion is perfectly fine, however if its maybe something like brother or uncle or something like that, then i would think about maybe having a chat with this guy about what steps are best to take next. Goodluck xx
