I don't know what to do end it or not .
My gran has a sister ,her son has a son who has a step son ..it's not he's real son he married he's mother when he was 7 years old but calls him dad .
We met on a night out ,never met in our lives as that side of the family are not close .
Starting seeing each other not realising ..we aren't related ..but still are if that makes sense .
We really like each other but not sure what I want to do ..so it's my grans sisters, son who has a son who has a step son ..
Wrong ? Ok ? Advice

I had a relationship well, shagged my grandfather's brother's grandson (the son of my mum's cousin) which, although perfectly legal, felt rather naughty. Even though mine isn't a particularly close family.
Go for it op - can't see the problem. First cousin marriage is legal in this country, although perhaps it shouldn't be due to the high number of birth defects found in communities where it is common.

As long as it doesn't cause family problems then I'd say it was fine as you don't really know each other and are not blood related.

I read about a chap who married ( maybe didn't marry) his brothers mother in law! So this guys brother became his wife's step father and step grandfather aswell as uncle to their kids.....
........ Now that's complicated as well as very wierd!!

You aren't at all related!

I think after trying to explain what your connection to him is, calling him your boyfriend will definitely be easier. Grin Your connection through family is remote, so enjoy new relationship.

You aren't related, and didn't grow up knowing him as a distant "relation" no probelm at all!

...by blood, I should have said.

Has someone in your family commented or are you afraid of the reaction you'll get?
