"Having kids with your first cousin (uncles kid) is very dangerous, it doubles the chances of the child being disabled."

@luluvuyelele is lies... I've seen many cousins have kids even some married but children are totally fine..."
@luluvuyelele said:
"In our culture which is Xhosa it is a taboo to be in a relationship with your cousin or as cousins , but I know that Pedi people are allowed to marry as cousins."
@Godricmpr said:
"Both of you just brought bad luck into your family.... what you’re doing is a taboo in future your ancestors will deal with you."
@Kholofelokim said:
"There are cultures that allow and embrace this."
@smof2008 said:
"Aowa, lots of elders in my family married within the family. We are all OK. After all, it kinda helps that one does not bring sh**ty families into the family. Thole you brought family ya batho ba go loyana, nou u must deal with such."

"Yhuu. I am soo tired nami. It's painful because we even have a baby together, staying together forever with the baby mama was my dream, but now seems impossible."
@kgothatso_comfi said:
"Relax you are panicking. I know this feeling, you must be an overthinker... right?"
@DiKgadi said:
"Remember when I'd write my ex-fiance a whole paragraph... he will update a status with the caption,"We are busy, be busy too, personally, I don't have time to read a long text like a Bible verse, I just delete the sh*t, have no time for nonsense," that time I'm pregnant. Sia it's over M."
@UncleP87 said:
"He's either having sex, about to have sex, just had sex or thinking about having sex. So moral of the story, never send a text expressing your emotions to a man, you always do it in person."
@ivan_gontse said:
"My GF told me she doesn't wanna be loved or love for that matter and broke up with me for a stupid reason. Two weeks later she posts a new guy."
@GuguPresh2 said:
"You mean even if the paragraph was from his crush he still wouldn't read it? I don't think so... The problem is that we are with people who aren't ours who are still trying to find "their" people."
