He Doesn't Understand
My hubby just does not understand why I got upset last night. He was talking on the phone to a friend of his about our bioson's football season coming up. The coach for our son's football this year is the cousin to hubby's ex-wife (the one who gives us all the drama in our lives). Anyway he was telling this buddy of his that my son and the coach are cousins. I became upset because there is no way in God's creation that my son is related to that witch of an ex-wife. I know I may have over reacted a tad bit but geez. Why would he even want to refer to them as relatives anymore? And my son is not in any way shape or form related anyway. Just needed to vent and wonder has anybody else been in this situation before.

Since we have have to be
Since we have have to be connected to the ex and their family at times, becasue of their child together...It makes perfect sense why you want that line of seperation with your bio child.

Maybe it was his way of explaining the fact that there is a “connection” (though a very loose one!) between the two….could it be a cultural thing because I know that we (I’m African-American) often use the term “cousin” to explain a relationship that is close (you may have grown up with the person) but not related by blood or marriage that would otherwise sound like “that is my mother’s best-friend’s sister’s son”….. possibly your husband didn’t feel like the “drama” of going through all that…
I would clear that up with
I would clear that up with your husband and tell him that you don't want him telling other people that they are some how related. I would be irritated too. Just tell him how you feel so he won't do that again. It is way off.
