I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that . As long as your children are ok with that then it’s no one’s buisness . As long as your happy date him .

I don’t think its weird 
and I wouldn’t ask a bunch of strangers here what they think. If you find it weird then don’t do it. If he and you think its okay then go for it. Y’all aren’t related so I don’t find it odd in the least bit (even if you were Idgaf lol) its your call.

You do you. If you want to but are concerned about how your children would feel, talk to them. I wouldn’t worry about what anyone thinks. Just your kiddos. It may be tough in the beginning if you decide to go out with him but things will smooth over. Remember your children and your happiness is all that matters…and of course who you choose to date.

I married my sons fathers half brother and his family hates me and has nothing to do with my son. Currently filed for divorce due to emotional abuse. You never know if it makes you and your girls happy then go for it. I wouldn’t trade these past 4 years for nothing yet I will not spend the rest of my life in a toxic family or relationship.
The only opinion that’s matters is yours and his , it’s not weird, if your ready to move on. Hope it works out for you both

My ex’s mom was married to a man a long while back and he ended up passing away, she then remarried and he passed away as well and now she is going on a few years with the first mans brother. I think it was weird for everyone at first but they make great couple 
Personally, I would not. Too close for comfort. It would be awkward. I mean this in the kindest way possible, it’s only been a year since you lost your husband, you may still need to grieve. The cousin could be filling a void without you knowing. Good luck, I wish you well

Lisa Marie see what I mean? I’m done 
don’t worry about what happens! as long as you are happy and your children are happy don’t worry about the rest they just jealous
Iam a man, so I have this advise for you. As long as neither one of there family members are going to climb in bed with you. If they don’t pay your bills then my dear don’t worrie about them. It’s none of there business. And if they do have any thing to say about it. Do you know how to block. It’s your life is what IAM saying live it.

Personally, no. How do you tell your kid’s that’s your “uncle” and than (possibly) years later, he’s now your “step dad” I find it very odd but I guess I could possibly feel different if I was in your shoes

Would you if he were alive? Personally, I wouldn’t as that’s my child’s second cousin and that would make me uncomfortable.

Decide if you can live with the negativity because there will be some. People will always talk about others. Personally, I don’t see what the big deal is.
It’s your life do what makes you happy as for me i couldn’t be involved with same family divorce can cause the family to look at you differently even if it wasnt your fault

Another thing is the children are blood relatives just to awkward maybe start goin out with friends meeting new people don’t fall for the first one that gives you attention which could be the situation here especially if your lonely

Back in the day, it was normal for a man to marry his brothers widow. It was mostly to take on the burden of children. Obviously, this is different. You do what makes you happy. Take it slow. Don’t advert it at this point w family. The two of you share zero blood.

TBH…if my mom were to suddenly date one of my dad’s cousins ( my parents divorced, my dad died 18 mos ago) I wouldn’t think anything of it. At least I wouldn’t have to meet an entirely new family.

You are both grown adults. Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life. Life is too short to worry about how an ex’s family feels. Besides, it’s been 12 years since your divorce. Do what makes you happy!

In the old days, cousins; even brothers stepped up to the plate, taking the deceased place, because most women couldn’t support their families. It was tradition. Today, you would do it if you want to, and not care what anyone else thought. If they don’t like it, they’re not being supportive, and you shouldn’t care what they think. That special feeling is special. Go for it

Uh… no. If my sweetheart died and I went to date his cousin, he’d rise from the dead and give me a piece of his mind. I dont care if we were divorced before he passed away.
Not to mention, I find it disrespectful. As said above, theres 7 billion people in the world. Go find someone else.

It’s not like it’s your desceased ex husbands brother or something, even then, if you are both single adults and it’s been over a decade, they can’t very well look down on you for it.
Test run the relationship. Date for awhile, dont make anything public to avoid unneeded stress on yourselves. If it works out - go be happy! As long as he isnt blood related to YOU, I dont see an issue.

It your life you have to do what you think is best for you just before you make it public to everyone make sure relationship is going to work and just know people might talk negative about it if u belive in god ask him for guidances I belive in god and he does miracles and blessings in my life all the time
Instead of asking Facebook what they think, ask your daughters how they feel! That is a family member of theirs from their dads side no matter if they knew him really well or not! What the family thinks isn’t so much of a concern but how your kids feel is important!

People will judge you no matter what you do. It’s a cousin…not a brother or something. People who truly care about you just want you to be happy…everyone deserves a little happiness.
You couldnt pick a different family? 
Imagine explaining that to the kids
