I always use the phrase ';my cousin's wife'; or ';my cousin's husband';, as in ';John, may I introduce Martha, my cousin, and her husband Bill?';
';Cousin-in-law'; is accurate, but I have rarely heard it used except as a joke. It is an awkward phrase. I have rarely heard the term ';half-cousin';, either. If your father has a half-brother, he would be your half-uncle and his children your half first cousins, but most people I know just say ';cousin';.
If you want to really confuse people, and your situation warrants it, you could introduce someone as your ';half second cousin once removed in law';.Is the spouse of a cousin also a cousin or cousin in-law?
Depends on where you are from.
She could be your grandma if you lived in the south.Is the spouse of a cousin also a cousin or cousin in-law?
Cousins are related to you biologically (by blood), and you have an ancestor in common. Your cousins spouse is normally related only by marriage. It isn't impossible that you share an ancestor, way way back.
Far more common to use the term ';my cousins husband or wife'; as the case may be.
Well, in Chinese culture, cousins are actually extended brothers and sisters. My cousin is getting married, and I've always considered her as my older sister. So her spouse is sorta like a brother.
In White culture, usually the spouse of your cousin isn't anything to you as you're not related to them. It just depends on the way you want to think.

In-law
OFFICIALLY COUSIN-IN-LAW BUT AWKWARD. I WOULD EITHER SAY COUSIN'S HUSBAND/WIFE .
Cousin in-law!
you can call them your cousin in law if you want to be pedantic. they are no blood relation to you.

What do you say to a friend whose spouse asked her for a divorce?
She has been telling me about the woes of her marriage for quite a while. However their problems seem to be the average marriage squabble that many married couples go through.
She said his exact words were, ';I dont love you any more.';
How can one fall out of love after ten years of marriage? I dont get it...
I hugged her as she cried but I was at a loss for words....
The only thing I could say, was that I would be there for her....What do you say to a friend whose spouse asked her for a divorce?
people fall out of love everyday...there could be alot of reason why it happend only her husband knows why he himself feels this way. all you can do is be there for her...try and get her out of the house to do a girls night out to take her mind off all this drama. If you yourself are married i would not recommend talking about how wonderful your marriage might be only cause it will hurt her just cause she does not have that no more. good luck, u seem like a good friend i wish i had someone like you around when my marriage went to crap lolWhat do you say to a friend whose spouse asked her for a divorce?
There are many reasons why a man would tell his wife that after ten years. He could have another woman or he could be going through a age crisis. You did not say how old they were but sometimes marriage gets dull and routine and people think they are not in love any more. Sad thing is that they really are. She is the same person he fell in love with but the environment and things have become dull.
Men can say some pretty cruel things at times and not mean them at all. Since he has ask her for a divorce I would say there was another woman in the picture..
All you can do is try to help her through this. Try to take her out and do things so she is not alone. Take her somewhere that maybe other men might be. The feeling of other men looking or flirting with her will at least give her some confidence which she will really need right now since he is distroying it by leaving her.
and you have say the right thing
You did what a good friend needs to do .
listen to her... cheer her up with things she like to do.
have an all girls night and do some male bashing so she an release some anger (like on Waiting to Exhale) rent it too so you all can laugh about it.
be there for her... she's going to need you.
don't let her get depressed. even when she wants to just crawl up in a corner and be sad...still be right there for her...don't let her do anything stupid either like beat him up or his next girlfriend...
it's going to hurt and take her a while to be her chipper self.
I'm sure that was all that needed to be said. Sometimes we dont want to hear any feed back, we just need a shoulder to cry on and a friend to listen to us.
After a long marriage, one DOESN'T fall out of love....one falls IN love with someone else.
Happened to my ex, sounds like it happened to her husband, too.
Tell her she will someday be HAPPIER without that shitty man....I know I was!!!
i would just be there for her when she wanted to have a safe person to talk about her grief. the man did not just fall out of love, he is seeing someone else and probably has been for awhile behind her back. people will make up anything, to end a marriage when they have someone else. he fell out of love some time ago, and the other woman is giving him ultimatums.
Exactly what you've already said. Mostly what your friend will need now is for you to listen.
I would try to refrain from insulting the guy, just in case they get back together.
How do you fall out of love with someone after 10 years of marriage ? With the help of another woman that's how and you can bet that is what is going on with her husband. My husband said those words to me after 18 years of marriage and come to find out it was over another woman. Tell her to check out some of his female co-workers and she will find the reason why her husband fell out of love with her. You did all you can do for her just be there when she needs someone to talk to.
There is not much you can do, but it is helpful and you are great person just to be there for her when she needs a shoulder to cry on. Sometimes its hard to say anything when you have not been through it yourself. You should remember though that she will always be greatful to you for you support sometimes actions speak louder than words.
You said exactly the right thing. When I'm upset I just need to vent and don't want to listen to advice for 15 minutes on how to deal with a problem.
Leave!
you said the exact right thing... i know exactly how she feels. the best thing for her to do is realize that if he really wants to leave she should let him go. If she was talking to you about '; the woes of her marriage'; that is a problem in itself. she should have been trying to fix the problems. good luck to her and hope it works out.
She said his exact words were, ';I dont love you any more.';

If your spouse became abusive towards you would you stay or leave?
why or why not?
That includes verbal abuseIf your spouse became abusive towards you would you stay or leave?
I don't tolerate verbal abuse but it won't make me give up on the marriage. I will harp my objection until it is accepted and stopped. This is because I believe a successful marriage is impossible when one is feeling less of a person compare to the other.
In the other hand, physical abuse is a no no. It is a mental illness, a serious matter where one must draw a limit. If it happens regularly one must leave no matter how much he says his love is.If your spouse became abusive towards you would you stay or leave?
Leave. If they don't have the compassion or the emotional control to keep their anger in check, then I don't want that type of person in my life and especially in my future children's life. A marriage should be about two loving people in a committed relationship. If there's abuse, then I consider the committment null and void.
It depends on the situation, if it was a new thing and you were having problems, if it passed after these were sorted and time has passed then cool, but if it was constant, or when he drank or was in front of the kids and you did nothing to deserve it, then yes leave. It is easier said than done, especially from people who have never been through it, but the person being abused (mentally or physically) will one day get to a point and not be able to take anymore.
What the person should not do is blame theirselves which so many do. No-one is perfect in relationships, and they take lots of hard work, but no-one deserves any kind of abuse when it is uncalled for. Ever.
If it was verbal we'd be in counseling before the sun went down today. If it was physical I'd find another place to stay for my safety. I would do everything in my power to fix the problems in the marriage and heal from the abuse. I am not a believer in divorce except under extenuating circumstances.
If it was physical, I'd throw his sorry *** out on the street so fast he wouldn't know what hit him.
If he did not have a history of verbal abuse and it was a one time thing, I would wait until he had calmed down then tell him that that kind of talk is not acceptable, this was strike one, and that when I play ball, there are only 2 strikes.
Shortly after we were married, my husband and I had an argument. He got so mad at me that he picked up my makeup bag and threw it at the wall. It broke open and my blush went everywhere. I did not say a word to him. I calmly picked up the pieces and tried to clean up the mess. He tried to apologize and I didn't say a word. The next day he tried to make a joke about it, and when I gave him a look, he said ';too soon to joke about it?'; I looked him straight in the eye and said ';It will always be too soon';. We've been married for 7 years, and he's never had another outburst like that. The blush left a stain on the carpet that I couldn't get out, and I thought it would be a good reminder to him of what an asinine thing he did.
Say to him(her) your husband who respects you, that if gustaria that treat this way, that respects the place where they live please and it(he,she) tries to give 100 % to him of you in order that it(he,she) does not have to protest, sees the change in you and your you can claim, and say actions(shares) to him(her) they erase(smear) passions that it(he,she) treats you please well. God blesses you
You could wait it out and see if it gets better but it won't. Once the abuse starts, it only gets worse. There are deeper problems that lead to this but once it starts down that road, you can never turn around. If a man would do that to a woman, they have no self respect and don't deserve that woman anyway.
My now ex-wife *did* become abusive--mentally, physically, verbally. I endured it for nine years for the sake of the kids. I asked her to see a doctor, she refused. Finally, I ';voted with my feet'; and left her (14 years ago).
Our two sons are now 20 %26amp; 22. They live close to me and want nothing to do with her. I got the best part of our otherwise grim marriage.
it would have to depend on how bad it was i mean i dont want to be with person that hates me i mean there are to many people out there to be in a realtionship that she hates you or he for that matter.but i would try to make it work first then find somebody else. that just my opion.
I'd hit the road, or have the abuser hit the road like I did. I caught him cheating with another woman in our house, threw his clothes in a garbage bag, and tossed him out on the street.
I would say leave before it's too late. Some people are afraid to leave their abusive spouses because they're afraid what they'll do to them if they do.
So leave as soon as you notice any abusive behaviour.
I would have to leave, because if he does it once, he'll do it again. and i feel i can do baad on my own, i dont need any help. and i wasnt put here for any man to mistreat me.
leave without question
I was raised in an abusive home and my childhood was full of fear and bad feelings all around. That kind of environment is not tolerable for anyone.
Leave. Life's too short not to enjoy it. I deserve to be treated well. Time is the one thing you cannot get back or replace. Enjoy as many moments as you can.
I'd leave because I've been through it as a child [mainly verbal] and there's no effin' way I'm going through it again as an adult.
Leave, there's no need to stay with a man that makes me feel like sh*t verbally or physically. I mean, if you're with him that should be because you love each others!
It depends if something else was going on in their life and they were taking it out on me I might see them through it. If it was over nothing then yes I would leave.
verbal i would say stay %26amp; try to work it out for awhile if this behavior is new. if nothing works, leave. physical - i'd be gone the first time!
I would leave and wouldn't think twice about it. I don't put up with any bs - ever.
I would leave, nobody should have to deal with abuse.
I guess you really can't say what you would do unless you were in that situation.
Leave now don't look back. It will only get worse.

Does a spouse have the right to say no to daycare?
My husband is out of town, and my babysitter bailed on me so I looked into a daycare that is right up the street they said they had a opening but my husband said no!!! they are not being put in daycare, He is either saying for me to stay home or keep my 13yr old home to watch them. I dont think his ideas are right...Does a spouse have the right to say no to daycare?
Of course he does, they're his kids too, why do some women think parenting decisions are just theirs??Does a spouse have the right to say no to daycare?
If he's not there to help out and you have no other options, you do what you have to do.
Do you trust your 13 yr old with this full responsibility? I'm not sure how old your other kids are but 13 is still realtively young. That's a big job. (And isn't the 13 yr old at school? Why should he/she miss school to babysit?)
Honestly, my son has been in daycare since he was 3 months old. He's not growing an extra head and he's not coming home with funky diseases. In fact, he loves his daycare and all his friends. He comes home and tells me stories about his day and how much fun he had.
If it's temporary, I don't see why he can't compromise. Is he not willing to compromise with you?
** ADD **
I agree that both parents should work together. It's not ';I gave birth so I decide'; as a mother. And it's also not ';what I say goes cuz I'm the man'; as a father.
You absolutely have to compromise! It goes both ways...
When there is a situation in which my wife is the one that must make the final determination I don't command her to do anything. I don't tell her NO she can't. If I had a problem with daycares I would tell her my reasonings and she would consider my opinions in context of the situation she is facing. If she ignores my opinion than perhaps next time I'll make sure I'm present to resolve the issue myself.
all 3 of my kids were in daycare. My son, who is now 17 is always on the honor roll, made it to semi finals in the spelling bee in middle school. All 3 of them are the most mannerly kids around (this is from reports from teachers, our pastor, my siblings, neighbors, etc...not just my opinion)
I fired 4 babysitters with my second child. I tried live-in, live-out...didn't work.
Daycare have more structure. They learn more. They watch less TV and get homework help. Sure you have to do your research, but you can find at least 1 that works for you. Your husband is not being reasonable.
Don't give up your job just because you are forced to. Let that be your decision. I tried that stay-at-home cra* with my 3rd one. It wasn't for me. I had a hard time trying to get my earning back to what it was before I quit.
Do what's best for you. A 13yr old can participate in afterschool activities and then the school bus can take her to a decent daycare for a few hrs. She/he will meet new friends and have a blast. At-home babysitters are highly over rated. They just want more $, go through your personal stuff, use your things, laze around your house and watch soap in 1 room while the kids run amok.
Just my 2 cents worth.
I would want to know specifics from him - Why no daycare? Is it the money or is it some uneducated neanderthal - ';I can work to take care of my family - Wife stay at home take care of kid'; routine.
Personally, I believe children do much better in daycare (better socialization, better routines, better safety) than sitting in a babysitter's house all day.
Do what you have to do...my daughter has been in a center since she was 6 weeks old and has loved it and thrived in it...Your spouse will get over it. If he really wants them to stay home - tell him to come home and take care of them himself. If not - he needs to respect your decision.
Of course both parents have the say, but he is not there. He is making it very difficult on you with no input on how to solve the problem. Staying home is not a solution, your place of employment gets tired of babysitting problems as an excuse. You better communicate with him and tell him his options are ridiculous and unreasonable.
Have you considered the cost?
Enrollment takes time as well, you have to have shot-records and what not filed with them to prove their immunizations are up-to-date.
Of course he does, they're his kids too, why do some women think parenting decisions are just theirs??Does a spouse have the right to say no to daycare?

What do u do about a Bipolar , Manicdepressive spouse. Or who can you contact?
I agree with what other people have said about getting your spouse to a MD, a therapist and on meds.
For her %26amp; you...Google: NAMI %26gt;%26gt;Bipolar
They have a national # and have state branches. They have info; family support groups; educational groups; support groups for people with bipolar; referrals.
Good Luck to you.What do u do about a Bipolar , Manicdepressive spouse. Or who can you contact?
Been there done that, and I would never recommend staying with anyone like that unless they took medications for the problems. Get her to the hospital, and they can get her admitted to a mental hospital for help to get her on the med/s she needs so she can get better.What do u do about a Bipolar , Manicdepressive spouse. Or who can you contact?
You need to get your wife to see a psychiatrist immediately so she can begin to take the medications she needs to get leveled out. This is not an easy process or an easy fix. Bipolar disorder is a lifelong battle and disease with no cure at this time. The only hope are the medications she MUST have and take faithfully. If she resists a psychiatrist then, at the very least, get her to see your family doctor. You can explain the situation to him/her. Good luck!
get that person medication and see a physician. it can and will get worse!
You cannot really do anything except encourage him/her to get help, unless they harm themselves or you, or someone else hears them say they are going to commit suicide. Sorry.
I have one too. GEt her on meds, but she needs to do it herself. If you can't convince her, wait until she's level to approach her, too manic or too depressed could set her off and lay the groundwork for stubborness beyond comprehension! Tread lightly. If you love her, you'll help her. With meds she will be a complete differnt person.
Will she see someone willingly?
A shrink, a family doctor.
Get her on medication
If she is a threat to herself(saying suicide stuff)or a harm to others(threatening to hurt others) you could call 911 for a section 12 admission to a mental ward at the hospital
My prayers go out to you,good luck
For her %26amp; you...Google: NAMI %26gt;%26gt;Bipolar
They have a national # and have state branches. They have info; family support groups; educational groups; support groups for people with bipolar; referrals.

Does your spouse have the same color eyes as you ?
I have brown eyes but I really like guys with blue eye but sometimes I think guys with blue eyes would only like girls with blue eyes because blue eyes are so beautiful even if I've dated a lot of guys with blue eyes... am I mistaken ?
But doesn't mean I dont like guys with brown eyes........Does your spouse have the same color eyes as you ?
A person's personality should overshadow their physical characteristics. Otherwise, your relationship will be very shallow. It really doesn't matter what color the persons eyes are if you have a strong relationship.Does your spouse have the same color eyes as you ?
stupid ??????
I have brown eyes...and his are nearly black....and so is our daughter's eyes....
Yes, both green, but that was accidental. He also has the same values, and that, my dear, is what's important! That WAS NOT accidental.
We both have blue
I dont think eye color really matters. Its the personality of the person the eyes are attached to!
Nope Mine are green greyish his are blue
I have blue eyes , my wife's are brown . If they were any other color , it would have made no difference to me .
I have green eyes, the husband has brown, the oldest daughter has blue like both grandmother's and my youngest daughter's are brown.
Mine are light blue %26amp; his are dark brown. I don't think he has a preference though because his exes look nothing like me %26amp; I think they both have brown eyes.
I have green eyes
My husband has beautiful blue eyes.
Yes, we have the same color eyes.
BTW - I think you have put WAY too much thought into this subject. It is seriously NOT important.
Any color eyes are fine with me...however I have a severe weakness for hazel green eyes.
Yes you are my man has blue eyes and I have deep brown eyes, I am sure he has dated people with the same color eyes but I dont care to know that cause he is mine now! lol
i have golden/green hazel, my spouse has olive green. and both of our sons have green eyes. which makes me very, very happy!
My husband has blue, I have brown. Our son got my eyes.

What to do when you think you're not the most important thing in your spouse life, work comes first?
She's a model and she really is good at what she does, she has a lot of potentia, l but sometimes I wish she could focus more on me and on the relationship. I would really love to marry her and have a normal life with her, because she's the best thing that has ever happened to me, but sometimes I feel it's only a dream.What to do when you think you're not the most important thing in your spouse life, work comes first?
It is difficult to have a ';normal life'; with a model. To make money, she is always on the go, always promoting herself and ';flaunting'; her qualities because that is her job. She is a living clothes hanger for designers and businesses. There is a lot of stress and pressure. (I'm a fashion designer, so I know)
It doesn't sound like you can reconcile your relationship with her career choice. Have you talked to her about this?
You say it feels like a dream. Maybe then she's not the woman to settle down to a 'normal' life with.What to do when you think you're not the most important thing in your spouse life, work comes first?
Grow up. One day kids will come first.
Mate.. i hate to say this, but work does come first because it is a necessity.
if you want to marry her, marry her for who she is without trying to change her.

Work should always come first. Dont trust. Think rationally.
Feel lucky she's not putting other people first.
