What if me and my boyfriend are actually related?

Okaay, So me and my boyfriend have the same last name, and we’ve been dating for about the past 9 months. But the thing is, he has a Step-dad, and his Step-dad is the only reason why he has the same last name as me. I was wondering though, what if we found out that I was related to his Step dad in some way ? Would that mean that im related to my boyfriend even though he isnt techincally part of the same family as me ?

Also, if we did find out that we were related theen what would be the better option ? Should we break up (I hope we arent related, I reaally love him) or would it be fine to just keep it going ? I was talking to him about it last night and he said that he’d probably have to dump me and theen wouldnt say anything to me for awhile. I wouldnt know what to do if that happened ! =( But anyways is it possible that we could be related? And if we are theen what should we do about it ? Thanks .

I don’t think it would legally be too bad. Some people would frown upon it but you aren’t blood related. He wouldn’t be a first cousin obviously if you don’t know whether you are related to the step-dad or not. If you are, it is probably very distant. But just because you have the same last name, doesn’t mean you are related. I wouldn’t worry about it since you don’t know if he is related. It would be too distant to even worry about…I think anyway…

What does legally related mean? You mean by marriage? That really does not make a difference…

ok well the thought of beign related to your boufrend si kinda scary.. but just bcos you have the same lasts names then it dont mean anything why dont you get your boyfredn to find out sumthings bout his step dad and get som info on his past to c if there is any reason why he cood b related to u..n lets just say the worst came to place, “your boyfriend is related to you” then depends on how your related to u, like if it was sumthigna s close as a cousin then I spose thats sumthign you wood have to deal with but if it was sumthing really far off like a 3rd cousin then it dont matta because its techniqually not classed as related in any way, but honestly I doubt there is any relation to your boyfrend I spose its jsut paranoia, but dont worry, if your really concerned then look into it, but if not then really, look past it and jsut forget it, I doubt your related to him.. but yuh I hope I am of help .. good luck.. fingers crossed… :\

Wow. You are blowing this out of proportion. Lots of people have the same last name. It doesnt mean anything. He is not related to his step-dad by blood. So what if you were related to his step-dad. That doesnt make the two of you related. Uhm yeah, relax, seriously…
