Today, talking to my boyfriend about each others families, we noticed we both had an aunt with the same name. After a while of trying to figure things out, we decide to call her. Turns out that we are long distance cousins. FML

Today, I found out my wife of 5 years, with whom we have three kids, is actually my cousin. At a family dinner someone had pointed out how much she looks like my uncle. We laughed until she mentioned that she was adopted from the same town my uncle's ex-wife had a baby. A few questions and a blood test later, we all learned the sick truth. FML

Keep it in the family I suppose.

It sounds like you're not related by blood, so I don't see it as that big a deal. From what it seems, one of your parent's sisters married a man whose sibling is your boyfriend's mom or dad. Bizarre situation, but if that's the case, it's hardly incestual.

It's not incest unless it's first cousins, and then only in some states.

53: What you're saying is true, and you'll find that most people won't complain if the comment is coherent. However, most people - Grammar Nazis such as myself - will bitch out the people WhO TaLk LyKe diSS!111!OMG1!! Or who use improper grammar and spelling and then call someone else out. ^_^

Since you're "long distance cousins," you won't be cousins if you stay in state, right? -_-; Big whoop

Do you know what the definition of "cousins" is?

And to comment on the FML itself. LoL Well OP, you have a choice to make, I suppose. If you're not blood related but you're still uncomfortable, then the two of you need to have a serious conversation. If you're blood related, well... Makes me glad I'm Danish and my boyfriend is Japanese. ;-)

Is your boyfriend's name Ashley Wilkes and yours Melanie Hamiltion? Because this reminds me of Gone With The Wind.
