Awkward pause

Today, a close friend called me to inform me of his newest relationship, and why he's kept it from me - he's been seeing his male cousin for several months and was tired of hiding it from the world. I had to keep my shock in check over the phone. FML

Today, my dad gave me his old camera. I got home and eagerly turned it on to start using it. I was greeted by a photo of my father drunk, smiling, naked, and covered in peanut butter. FML

Today, my husband was arrested on 2 felony charges in a sting. We've been married 5.5 years, had almost enough money for a down payment on a house, were trying to get pregnant, and had a non-refundable trip to London planned. We are now broke and on the verge of divorce. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy groceries. I didn't care how I looked, so I wore an old shirt that said, "Thousands of my potential children died on your daughter's face last night." I ran into my girlfriend's parents at the store. FML

Today, despite warning my new girlfriend I suffer from bad premature ejaculation, and should get her to orgasm first with my hand or mouth, she insisted I “just fuck her already” then she blamed me when it was over in 15 seconds. FML

Today, my parents were coming to visit me at my brand new apartment. I made dinner and served them the cake my roomate had left for me in the fridge. Thirty minutes after they left, I was so baked that I couldn't think straight. I still don't know if my parents made it home. FML

Today, I was at the dentist and got laughing gas to lessen the anxiety I get from the numbing shots. When I was good and "relaxed", an assistant leaned real close and said, "Open wide." I just stared back at her and widened my eyes. She had to clarify she was talking about my mouth. Duh. FML

If it's his first degree cousin, they should be careful not to have kids. Maybe one of them should get on the pill. On an unrelated note, I flunked biology in high-school.

Be sure you continue to support him. It's still difficult for those in the LGBTQ+ community to come out.

Marriage between cousins is actually legal in many states and in many countries around the world, and even more so if there is no chance of pregnancy.

Depending on where he lives, it's not a problem. Especially if they're not first cousins. There's still plenty of people who need to realize that.

I once went to see "Kiss of the Spider Woman" with a male cousin. We entered when the trailers were rolling so the theater was dark. When we got up to leave at the end, we noticed that pretty much the entire audience was made up of male couples. Oops!
