A really strange relationship

Here's a good one for you all to discuss! My brother and my first cousin had a live in relationship for over 7 years. She literally broke up his marriage. She wasn't anyone we were very close to growing up, BUT! she still was a first cousin. Now that they have broken up and he has remarried, she hangs around like a parasite! She is now "best friends" with his new wife, and they all go places and do things together. Too weird for me! He no longer has very much to do with the rest of us in the family (he always was a bit of a loner), and I can't help but think that there will be trouble down the line. 'She' maintains that she doesn't want to have any enemies, and she is friends with all the men who she used to date (and there have been plenty)I have cut all ties with her because I think the whole situation is just to strange for me. She can't figure out why I don't want to speak to her, even though, at one time not too long ago, I told her that she has her own family of brothers and sisters to do things with. Too much for me.....lol

That is a strange. Isn't it illegal there to have your brother and cousin live together?... It's really weird. Maybe you could talk to your cousin and tell her t o just stop being a parasite. LOL.
I can't imagine being with any of my first cousin. It's just icky.

I have told her and him both in no uncertain terms what I think about the situation. It's gross, illegal, and downright disgusting. He has chosen to ignore anything I have to say, and she can't figure out why I don't want anything to do with her. She is needy, insecure, and desperate. By getting to be friends with his new wife, she can continue to think that she is a part of the family. By the way, the new wife is just as bad..she knows about the relationship they had, and says that it doesn't bother her. Yuck!!!!She and my brother even live in the house where he lived with the cousin! How's that for being 'open-minded'? Just one big "happy family"!

OH that's just not right. I mean, how can you be okay with a relationship like that?!
well, there are really just weird people on earth, and it just so happens, that your brother, your cousin and your brother's wife are all on top of the list.
