i think you have landed you in complex situation. it is not a relationship which is legal at least in my country. I think many family members will come against it.so try to get away as it can have no future.

hi marleneonly,since your granderfather and his grandfather are brothers,you have no problem in marriage.it's allowed legally,and it would better if your family and his family accept your relationship.that depends to your determination and effort,both of you.i think as for you,a chinese girl,the largest barrier comes from your family.

anyway,all problems are not real barrier as long as you love each other deeply and have a strong faith in your future.no one can break you up if both of you are confident and determined.good luck

yeah,your words are very right,that is also my concern.According to the law in our country,we can get married.But our parents may be against us,the main factor is about our offspring.Meanwhile,we are in different cities now,it is inconvenient for us to meet and date each other.I feel there are so many troubles in front of us..

If your father and his mother or if your mother and his father are cousins they you could marry each other, even though your grandfathers are brothers.

I am not so sure of your country's customs and cultures. But according to Indian custom and culture you cannot marry him as he becomes your brother.

There is no other ways except for getting over him.You get yourself a new date,find someone else, get a new start.

If I get this straight, his parents and yours are cousin. And thus, that guy is your second degree cousin. I think it's kind of dangerous. When cousins get married and have children, it is possible for the children to have serious syndromes such as mental disease sadly enough. Because the unborn child needs DNA from both parents and if both you and your cousin have similar ones, it could be a problem. but this is for pure cousin-cousin relationships. I would say that you shoudl ask your mom or your dad for this approval first. Since it's something that could be taboo for your parents, you could ask indirectly like putting your situation to someone else and ask her opinion. If she has nothing against it, then if your relationship with him is serious, you can worry about the futur. talking to a doctor would be better for this information. If my child was to like his second degree cousin, I wouldn't mind unless there will be risks for there children. goodluck
