Relationships

Yeah, hmm. Don't think so. I believe that is line that is not to be crossed. Be kind of like dating your sister's ex. Probably not a good idea. People just don't have any respect or manners anymore, do they?

I have never dated someone that one of my family member's dated. I think that would just be too strange. I have dated someone a friend dated. My friend dated a guy when we were in the 10th grade. They lasted about 2 months. Several years later (when I was a junior in college) I re-met this guy and dated him for about a year. By then neither one of us had contact with the old friend, so I think that was different.

I had to laugh, because you remind me of my old man! Sorry but he watches those awlful Jeremy Kyle (who is no angel himself!) Montel and all that other shites about chavs airing their dirty laundry in public, it's disgraceful, mind you does me a favour after watching those programmes it puts you off relationships for life! It's all inter breeding and no wonder the world is in a state, you've gotta laugh!

Well my husband actually dated my first cousin at University years ago. It didn't really bother me when I found out thought. In was during his college days so we didn't meet up till years later.

Never done it before. I don't think I would ever do such a thing, out of respect for my relative. Except of course if it's a super attractive girl who runs after me LOL

Never done it before. I'm not sure if it would work out or not. I've never actually thought about it and probably won't do it but that's just me. It's just something that's never come across my mind. I don't know if it would cause a problem or not but I wouldn't want it to happen in the 1st place.

I have never dated anyone someone else in the family dated. I would look at it as a form of betrayal on my part. Have heard of this happening quite often but never in our family.

well, i dont and I wont date someone who was been dated by a family or close relative. I dont think that I would be comfortable to bring him to the family knowing that he have been dating a family member before. And if I was the family member I dont think that I would be comfortable with the situation or with the thought.

No way. Never. It will definitely be too chaotic if ever I'll date someone whom a relative of mine once dated. Let's just say, I won't go for left overs.. :)

I must be watching some of the same shows as you my friend as I seem to be hearing of these things and the ensuing problems caused by it! I myself could never imagine having a relationship with an ex of a family member - it just wouldn't be worth it! xxx

My Grandson is living with his third cousin, and I think its neat. There is really no problem there.In the British Royal Family there have been a few idiots born as a result in in-breeding with Family members. ON the other hand Farmers think nothing of breeding a Prise Cow to her Father. This is called line-breeding and is done routinely to enhanse a line of offspring. However it can only be done once to be safe. In further crosses the line tends to break down and can result in unwanted mutations.

lol...many, many, many years ago I met a man and dated him 2 times. After the second date I took him home to meet my parents...I was young and still living home at the time. Guess what? He was my first cousin! He lived in Oklahoma and was in the Navy and stationed here in Boston. We had only seen pictures of each other when we were younger so of course we didn't have a clue. We never asked each others last names (which by the way were the same!)and when he ever walked in the door with me my poor Dad knew him immediately since it was his brothers son and he looked just like his Dad when he was younger. That was quite a "relationship"!

no never, rule number one at home. I wold never date any of the sisters ex and she would never date any of mine. Why even start that drama. Some things should be left hands off. Thats a big no no in my book

The thought of dating someone who is or was involved with a family member would never, ever enter my mind. But I have heard of it happening. It's definitely a line that shouldn't be crossed. Seems like it would be pretty uncomfortable for everyone involved.
