I saw my cousin for the first time in ages. We became really close and text often. When my friends saw I was texting my cousin they said it was gross how we were close. Whats wrong with being close to your cousin? Its not like we're going to go out or anything. We're just really good friends. Are my friends just being gross or is what they are saying to me true?

Of course it's not bad to be close to your cousin. I come from a very, very big family, and I have many cousins that I am quite close with. We've drifted apart over the years because we live on different ends of the country, but that's just a part of life.
And I know people who have married their cousins, which is perfectly legal, and no, it doesn't mean you will have children born with birth defects.

NO!! OMG theres nothing wrong with being close to your cousin. I am best friends with my cousin (although we are the same sex) but my other cousin, who is a guy is also one of my best friends. He is sooo funny and we talk on the phone all the time, and we hang out. Theres nothing wrong with being close, NOTHING! Tell your friends to grow up. Good luck!

That's not gross at all. My cousin is my best friend, in fact. Literally. There is nothing wrong with that! Tell them to get a life.

Friends may come and go, but family lasts forever. If you are close to your family, then good luck to you. There are so many people out there that dont have a good relationship with their families.
I say screw your mates, and be friends with your cousin.

Not to long ago in small communities, the church allowed first cousins to marry. In many places this is still allowed to happen. SO ANYWAY!!! Your just talking to your cousin. What the FL!P is wrong with that. Your friends are stupid.

I am good friends with all of my cousins except for a few of them. I think it's good to be close to your cousins because it gives you more family that you can rely on. Don't listen to your friends.

You are very much NORMAL. I was close with a male cousin when I was younger. There is nothing wrong with having close family ties!

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. If you're not going to be close to your family, who are you going to be close to? Don't listen to your friends. They've got it all wrong. You're family and you've got each other's backs. It is beautiful to be close to family. I hate people who always thinks the relationship will blossom into love. You already love your cousin, he is family. Don't worry. Hope I've helped. ;)
