Would you do it?

[ZaraJah]

They grew up together until age 9 when she moved to America.

They got back together 25 years later when he migrated and needed a place to stay.

They lived together...afterall, they are cousins.

He applied for a "stay" and was rejected. He is worried, and he might be deported.

Her mom called and said "Simone, why don't you marry Paul so he could get his stay". She said WHA? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] WE ARE COUSINS FOR GOODNESS SAKE, mother! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad2.gif[/img]

The mom said, you are not cousins by blood, you are cousins because I was best friend with his mother (who passed away when he was 10 yrs old).

She agonized and contemplated and agonized some more.

Her mom, said "you've gotta do it for him Simone, afterall, blood is thicker than water". Simone, replied...

Are they related or not? I dont undersstand the 'blood is thicker than water' as a selling point if they're not related [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

That is exactly where I think it is crazy. Was her mother lying to her?

That is where the [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] comes in, because it is confusing if on one hand they are not related and on the other...

Re: Would you do it?

her mother probably just mean "blood" in the sense that the families were very close and they grew up as if cousins.

Hell yes! I have a HUGE problem with that. If my mother would ever make such a proposition to me I would lose my marbles. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70400-talktohand.gif[/img]

That is not to sound insensitive or non-supportive, it is just a big deal to me and I'd view that as a cruel request.
