Livvy's post was crudely worded and inflammatory, but she has a point. The H should have remembered, but the OP might have done well to be more proactive in making sure he understood his risk and was at least being tested periodically.
But why are we assuming that he didn't understand the risk? If I have an in depth convo with my partner, who is a grown ass adult, during which he asks questions about my medical issue and I answer then I'm assuming that he's pretty damn informed. And I'm also assuming he's taking care of being tested when he goes to his physical or whatever. I mean, should she have asked him twice a year if there were any more questions he had or if he's gotten tested?
Yes, and it should be done at Easter and Thanksgiving dinners
(And now I'm curious if you and your husband adopted or if one has kids that both of you raise - a stepchild and 2nd cousin rolled into one)
WHAT!?!?!? Just b/c we are from KY does not mean my H and I are cousins My husband and I each had a daughter when we got married from previous relationships and we do not have any bio kids together. Not b/c we have concerns about procreating due to being cousins, which we are not! Just because.

You were flagged in the "married cousins having kids together" posts and your response was "we don't have kids together." My inference was that you were still cousins, just no joint bio kids.
