      It appears that I don't have much of a choice.
      ((((Please, please, please send for help, call the police, alert the media, get me a lawyer, find an exorcist, do something; this woman's crazy!))))

    Maybe you should try and get a restraining order

    If we knew we would not want children.  I am of the opinion that that relation is too close.  And, of course, if it were legal in our state.  It isn't in all states.

    It seems rather gross to contemplate having sex with your aunt or uncles children...

    If families drift apart and have had no contact for twenty years or so...I wonder how many people end up having relationships with their own brothers and sisters....or even parents....
    Any situation becomes possible then I would imagine...:(

    Given the number of children born of donor sperm by IVF, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if there are dozens of half siblings in relationships with each other, blissfully unaware that they're blood relatives.

    That's very true.....plus there is always adopted children as well...Years ago in the fifties/ early sixties , the English sent countless thousands of young children to Austraila without their parents....
    The english also separated orphaned children....

    Makes one wonder if there should be a genetic testing requirement prior to marriage.
    Similar to how some jurisdictions require counseling before granting a license.

     

    "Uh, I have good news and bad news for you.  The bad news is you can't get married.  The good news is you appear to be long-lost cousins."   LOL

    I see only tonight on tv ,a program about sperm donors..... apparently there are many many guys that advertise on the Internet to give their sperm away free for women desperate to conceive....

    There are no healt tests for AIDS or any transmitted diseases.......The guy does it in the back of his van outside of where it's to be delivered and then  just hands it over....There is no money involved and no records kept either....

    He said to date that he's provided 175 specimens....there are also many many other that do the same....

    I find it so scary just thinking about the connorations of it all...

      Quite the opposite of men who think like that, I don't want to father any children whatsoever!

    Somehow, I doubt the guys have considered the simplest ramification ... if the woman files for child support.  LOL
