What relation are we?

[clairethewitch70]

I met someone today. Turns out we are distantly related but not sure what we are. He is calling me Cuz .

His paternal uncle married my paternal aunt. That is, his dads brother married my dads sister.

Any ideas?

You aren’t related.

None

Yeah I think you're not related

No blood relationship, just sort of cousin-in-laws.

Not related

His dad’s brother is his uncle and also is your uncle-by-marriage.
Your dad’s sister is your aunt and his aunt-by-marriage.
But as pp’s said, he and your are not related.

Just related by marriage. Cousins in law

I don’t think even cousins in law. I think of my DH’s cousins as cousins in law.

But my cousins’ cousins are not part of my family at all, though I always find it odd that they have other cousins.

Cousins thru marriage. Any family member through blood or marriage who isn't specifically an aunt, uncle, or in-law, is a cousin (cousin-in-law, cousin by marriage, first cousins, second cousins, third cousins, step-cousins, etc.) There is a saying in Georgia that if you go back far enough, everyone is a cousin, since it all started with Adam and Eve.

You aren’t related.

You just have relatives in common.
