My aunt is still married to his brother. However, it has been said they will soon end that marriage. Now either way, is it wrong to have any type of intimate relationship with my aunts brother in law? I know alot of people would disagree with having any relationship other than a friendship. But, I just don't want to keep anything in the dark. Reply to this Question Share |

Depends on how close thamily member is. No one can tell you what to do but before you do it think of how it will sound to others in the family trees. Will you be looked at in a strange way within the family? Just think first and act slowly next.

I agree with Auntie Cindy. I don't really see anything wrong with it.
You could have met him randomly and not knowing he was your aunts BIL. And it's not like you are really related to him.
I would just stay out of any family drama pertaining to his brother and your aunt.

Maybe other people may disagree, as for me I cannot see anything wrong with it.
You and this guy aren't even minimally blood related ! , and even as far as relatives-by-marriages go, it's not that close of a relation, I'd bet that many people would not even KNOW who is the brother of the guy who married their Aunt !
Although, if your Aunt is getting divorced..and you and this gentleman should get married.. maybe your Aunt would not attend your wedding, if her divorce was recent and not amicable... but that's really looking too far into the crystal ball:)
