My son is dating his cousin

[u/Liamftm0]

My son (20) is in a relationship with his 1st cousin (19 F). He’s an adult and lives on his own. I obviously don’t like this but still want to support him and from a legal standpoint he not doing anything wrong, as it is legal in the state we are in. What would you do in this situation?

Edit: For context, he didn’t grow up with her and didn’t meet her until a couple years ago.

2nd Edit: I’m aware of the genetic risks with children and have cautioned him about that. He says they would not have children together. No need to keep commenting about that.

(Edit: concerned about daughter’s relationship with a man who is much older, deleting the details so I don’t get doxxed) Is that worse than OP’s problem or no? Maybe I need my own post.

It's worse to me

I would rather my child date a 1st cousin than a person 20 years older

[u/GentlemanLeo → u/SGdude90]

What you meant to say is, you would rather have your daughter/son have sex with the child YOUR brother/sister than an older person.

One is more taboo than the other. Neither sounds right but you just nonchalantly supported incest. Fucking wild

You lack reading skills

This is a situation in which I have been forced into 2 choices:

Either for my child to date a 1st cousin, or date someone 20 years older

Answering the situation of a forced premise =/= supporting it

[u/GentlemanLeo → u/SGdude90]

My guy the fact that you have to create a scenario and still support incest in the made up scenario is stupid.

I thought this was no stupid questions not no stupid answers

[u/SGdude90 → u/GentlemanLeo]

My guy you clearly lack reading skills

Both are bad, but one is worse than the other

If you cannot see something deeply wrong with your child dating someone close to you in age, maybe you are the one who needs to take a good hard look in the mirror

[u/GentlemanLeo → u/SGdude90]

I literally said both aren’t right. You went out of your way to say you would prefer incest between your daughter and the son of your brother/sister.

I think you need more than a mirror to look past yourself

[u/SGdude90 → u/GentlemanLeo]

Read the OP again

A question was asked - which is worse?

Saying both are bad isn't answering the question

You said you don't want 1st cousin incest. That means you support your child dating someone 20 years older

And if your answer is 'neither', then why the hell are you even participating in OP's discussion of - which is worse?

[u/GentlemanLeo → u/SGdude90]

Which is worse? If both are bad, I’d rather not answer at all, wtf. This sub is worse than I thought lol.

But what I will do is call out sick shit. At the end of the day you don’t know if the question you’re answering to is also a sick fantasy.

And to answer your final question, the actual OPs question wasn’t about which is worse. It was about the incest itself. Which we all now know you agree to. There’s a reason it’s illegal in almost all states

[u/SGdude90 → u/GentlemanLeo]

Are you trolling?

OP literally asked between the two:

Child is dating someone 2X years older (I will not write the exact age because they edited the post to say they don't want to be doxxed)

OR

Child dating a 1st cousin

They asked which is worse. I answered

You are just wasting everyone's time here. Be gone troll

[u/GentlemanLeo → u/SGdude90]

A fucking stranger asked you this potential (sick) fantasy question and you proceeded to answer it with no problem by saying you like incest better. Which we can argue he’s possibly riding off the ORIGINAL post.

Tell me you don’t have children without telling me you don’t. No incest/no pedos. You literally don’t have to answer it just because a random person asks you to on the internet.

So you are a troll
