"We don’t know how to feel. We just landed and are now on holiday with a large group. On one hand, we’re gay, so there’s no concern over having babies. We’re also both Jewish, and I know our gene pools are already shallow," he continued.
Too close for comfort
The lovers, who are both 28, are still baffled by the turn of events and are at a loss for what to do about it.
"Third cousins? That is a little too close for comfort. There’s no scenario where we’d break up, but I feel so weird about it." he said.
"He doesn’t want to tell anyone or talk about it now, but I needed to get this off my chest. I don't know how to feel or how to process this. Is it insane? Is it no big deal?" he wondered.
Advice from netizens
Vessy Foxy 77:
"It doesn’t sound like you plan to break up so honestly, if that’s not a deal breaker for you, I guess it’s whatever for you."
Lord Barto:
" It's not a big deal, first cousins having kids, the odds of the kid having issues from it is in the low single digits."
Antique me :
"It’s no big deal. First cousins would be creepy but third cousins are ok. Since there will be no kids, there’s really no reason not to continue with your relationship."
Infinite:
"There is a reason why you have no idea who is your third cousin. I hope you will be happy! ( and if someone is being mean about it, tell them it’s a royal thing, they can not understand, poor minions)."
Moth::
"I had this one boy in class constantly try to flirt with me until he talked to my brother and found out he's my half brothers cousin or something so he saw me as a cousin and never talked to me again and I think it's funny because we don't share any blood."
