Everyone so far seems to have it right.\nYou and your cousin's children are cousins once-removed.\nYou and your cousin's grand children are twice-removed.\n\nAnd to add a little more:\nYour children and your sibling's children are first cousins\nYour children and your cousin's children are second cousins

I think it means asking the same question twice.

Its means he's trying to let you down nicely.  He has a girlfriend and generally 3 is 1 too many!  So no, hang out with someone else and go to someone elses house.

A second cousin is one of your parents' cousins.  I've always considered mine to be more like aunts and uncles.  A fifth cousin is really removed, I don't think I know my fifth cousins.  My grandma told me during the olympcs a long time ago that one of the swimmers was my fourth cousin and I didn't know him at all.

I think it means...\n\nWhen you belong to a certain social group, it is as if you were in a fishbowl -- on display -- so, trying to get away from that group is difficult.  Here, the displacer is the person from whom you wish to turn your back.\n\nThe second part of the sentence means that if both you and the person from whom you wish to turn away are similar, it is going to be even more difficult, because you are friends of some sort, with much in common.\n\nI hope I'm right!

I am not catholic but I can understand absolutely no reason why you can't LIKE your second cousin,,,, if you are talking about taking it into a loving relationship that may be another thing and it is not necessarily wrong but it could prove to be bad for children born (inbreeding).. I am assuming you are young and have a crush which can be normal, but it is probably best to leave love relationships outside of your family line.

Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you., but not the same grandparents.

"Once removed" means one generation up or down.  For example, my father's cousins are my cousin's once removed.  Your grandmother's sister is your great aunt.  Her children are therefore your mother's (or father's) cousins, and their children are your second cousins.  They are not once removed, because they are of the same generation as yourself.

just because your cousin had affairs, and did wrong, doesn't mean u should do it too. he is married, until he is divorced leave him alone, all u will get is a broken heart. if u want them to get back together stop seeing him right away.

No, they're not second cousins, they're first cousins once removed.\n\n"The simplest thing, assuming your cousin's child's name is Frank, is to call him "Frank." Strictly speaking, the children of your first cousin are your first cousins once removed. (Your first cousin's grandchildren, should it come to that, are your first cousins twice removed. If you have children, your children and your cousin's children are second cousins.) "First cousin once removed" is far too cumbersome to use in casual speech, but for an adult to abbreviate the term and refer to a child as his cousin implies an unseemly generational parallelism--ideally you want to indicate you outrank the little heathens. You could try "my young cousin," I suppose, but this sounds a bit patronizing. If you give up and refer to the kiddies as your nieces and nephews, Cecil will understand."

This is not forgiveable. Its only a matter of time before he decides to do the same thing with another girl, but in REAL LIFE. And the fact that he was sexually attraced to his cousin is just gross. Second cousin or not, they are blood related.

2nd cousin removed since your mother is divorced. Or maybe it's just 2nd cousin.

I think that the once removed part makes it ok. My husband and I discovered we were cousins when I was pregnant with our first son. My maternal grandmother and his maternal grandfather were 1st cousins. Our kids are OK ...so far! Alright, so what ifthe little one has been nicknamed "Lucifer"? and makes me wonder if he's genetically imbalanced but only on full moon nights.

Cousin in law I guess. 'once removed' means one generation difference and 'cousin in law' sounds right in your situation.

You and the child are second cousins.\n\nSiblings have the same parents; cousins have the same grandparents; second cousins have the same great-grandparents; and so on.\n\nYour mother's first cousin's child is a first cousin once removed to your mother.
