a. My cousin and your husband is a stubborn man.
b. My cousin, your husband, is a stubborn man.
Which is grammatically correct?
The idea is that my cousin, who is also your husband, is a stubborn man.
Neither seems logical, but I think (a) can be used.
Many thanks
my cousin and your husband

Re: my cousin and your husband
No, (a) is not acceptable.
-> The man who is (both) my cousin and your husband...
-> The man who is (both) my cousin and your husband...
