okay so my cousin's, who is 26, parents got divorced when she was really young and her mom (who was married to my current uncle but i don't think is related to me) married another man (who is not related to me) and had my cousins half-brother. now the half-brother has casually been flirting with me + hinting at going out and such, but idk if we are related or not!? it's such a confusing family tree. any help?
DJzmAgUy426 answered Monday August 11 2008, 2:13 pm: No, he's not related to you. According to your explanation, your cousin's mom was the one who got married, which means any other children she's had aren't family. Now, if your uncle had children, those would be your cousins. Even though you two aren't related, this can be pretty hard to explain to people. Hope this helps =]. [ DJzmAgUy426's advice column | Ask DJzmAgUy426 A Question ]
xlovexx463 answered Monday August 11 2008, 2:10 pm: Okay I have this "cousin" who is my actual cousin's half brother. It's my mom's brother (my biological uncle)'s stepson, in other words my aunt (by marriage)'s child from her previous marriage. Is that sort of like this for you? This "cousin" is not related to me biologically at all. I'm pretty sure in your case too you are not related biologically.
However, I am not COMPLETELY sure. Besides, though not biologically related, he is your aunt's child. Generally, I tend to consider everyone at family gatherings family ;]
If you aren't sure about how you two are related, maybe you should just stay friends. You wouldn't want to find out the hard way. [ xlovexx463's advice column | Ask xlovexx463 A Question ]
