I agree with dearkelja here.

As far as I know, no European country prohibits marriage between first cousins. There is not much you can do to prosecute, except maybe adultery.

That might even be a shady area because he is merely your fiance, not even your husband.

Artistry agony auntHi, I am sure you are hurt, and would like to have some sort of revenge, but it is not against the law, to have sex with your cousin. The only problem comes, when they have children and the children are affected by the inbreeding.

Back to your other problems, why have you stayed with him for fourteen years without getting married? Maybe it is good, now that I think about it, that you don't have to get a divorce. Unless, you are going to decide to stay with him. He had sex with his cousin, this lady will always be his cousin, and you will always know that they had sex. How

do you get around this little fact at family reunions? I don't think, no, I know that I would be so gone, the only thing that would be left, would be the smell of my perfume.

You guy had no consideration for your relationship, he slept with his cousin, how destructive is that? It's is one

thing to sleep with another person, but when it is a family member, this is a permanent memory. Think about why you would want to stay with him, he has literally slapped you in the face, with this act and for you to even think about forgiving him, makes me think he will do other things, because, you are going to allow it, with no repercussions.

Find a guy who respects you, and you must repect yourself.

Good luck to you in all you do. Take care.

dearkelja agony auntWhy would it matter if he could or not. Would it change anything between you? Are you going to stay with him but just wondering if he'll be gone for a few weeks? Or did you want to press charges to get back at him.

When you are an adult, sexual matters are really a private matter. Very doubtful that any state or government would prosecute something like this. Where's the proof? It's all hearsay.
