If your wife (or husband) passed away and your wife's (or husband's) cousin shows an interest in you and you sensed a chemistry between the two of you. Should you date her (or him)?

Hmmm scary. How do you think your spouse would feel about it? Also might want to see how the family would feel.

In days of long ago if your spouse died then it was expected of you to marry his or her relative.

No, For me thats still a reason to have to see my ex and I don't want that. I've seen enough of her when we were married. OUCH!

having actually read the question
And being a widower myself.
It took me a couple of years to even consider finding someone new
As long as the Bloodlines are seperate there should be no problem
However, only you would know if there would be family drama with this

It is not something I could do, but that is just me. That being said, I dated my ex-husband's cousin by marriage for 6 months before I started dating my ex-husband. lol And believe me family gatherings were uncomfortable at times. I will never forget the first time the cousin showed up at my house for a party, it was not a good thing for me.

well if he/she is dead (spouse), i see no reason why not,
did you get the family assets?, is this the way the family
is going to get them back?
watch out for ulterior motives..
advice go slowly...
and maybe put a recorder on, when leaving the room
and he/she makes a call... to see who they are talking to.
just to make sure all on the level.
if so...
might be another good one...

If she wasn't already married, I would even date her sister. What??? Some good things run in the family... I mean if we get along and there is chemistry between us, why not?

Just being honest. I guess I should mention that it's her half sister. They had different mothers.

If your spouse has passed away, the cousin is really not related to you so I don't see why not.

Happened in my family. My sister passed away at 45 and her husband married a cousin. I would not have had such a problem but it was much to soon. Less than 14 months. It is very hard on the children at home as well. Of course, that is soon for it to be any one.
Things are not good and no matter how hard you try the hurt comes out a bit. But I love my nieces and nephews so I try to not think on it too much. Family gatherings were very uncomfortable but now she chooses not to come. She would be welcome of course burt it is her choice. Makes it hard on everyone.

I couldn't do it unless I had never met the person and didn't realize it until I was already involved. If I knew them when I was married NEVER! My uncle passed away and his wife married (maybe just lived with) his brother. They were both very good people and everyone in the family excepted it.

Someone should start a post on taboos.
How far removed is the cousin, first cousin, second cousin....
I think third cousins are open game in most cultures.
