Re: I’m attracted to my Phuppo’s son
Have you seen the non-desi divorce rate? Why care (or fear) so much what they think? Why make their opinion the standard or yardstick by which to judge your decisions? The bottom line is that every kind of marriage depends on the ability to compromise, be patient, to overlook, etc etc. Those things are more essential. Is it that you have non-Desi friends that you are afraid would find out he’s your cousin if they were to attend your wedding? Is it judgment of the younger Desi lot? Some of them may not personally prefer a cousin marriage but they would still know it’s permissible. As for all other non-Desis that you encounter at work or in your neighborhood or elsewhere…they need not know as it’s really none of their business.
