If you are posting this question, then you know that there is a huge problem. You will never be able to deal with a relationship like this one. Neither of you will mentally or emotionally be able to have a healthy relationship. It will most likely come to an end under bad circumstances. You can still always love each other but never take it any further. Try to find a new partner, each of you. Then eventually your feelings for each other will become feelings for other people. You can do it in a healthy way. You can do it together if it helps both of you to remain strong throughout. The only way your relationship is going to work is if you both were okay with it and had no feelings at all about it. Obviously, that will never happen in this life. It will be hard to do and the pain of lost love is hard, but in the end you will both thank yourselves and each other. Remember, you were young and it was a first experience for you and that could be why the feelings are so strong at this time.

Well first, I think you are brave to post a question such as this. I think that you love who you love. I personally could never see myself indulging in a family member, but it is not my place nor anyone else to say it is wrong or not. I would speak to your family ...like your mother and father and get their feedback. Will you both be able to take on public and family criticism? If you are serious about being with your cousin, regardless if it is first second or third, I would highly recommend seeking out a genetics counselor. You should have test ran right away to find out the situation regarding offspring. You may not plan on children but it could happen and you should know all the facts up front. Good luck

First of all it isn't a sin to date your cousin... Second it isn't illegal to date your cousin.. While most people find it uncomfortable to say the least to talk about it, dating a cousin isn't that uncommon.. People don't always know they are cousins until later down the road.. Most often it is said that first cousins should not date.. Second cousins and from there on down are not exactly approved of but not unheard of.. As long as your family doesn't see a problem with it and you aren't first cousins then don't worry about what other people say.. And remember you aren't committing a sin, a sin would be if you were dating your sister, mother, brother, daughter,son or father, aunt or uncle.. not a cousin.. In the Bible cousins often married.. Check it out or ask your pastor they can tell you all about it.. Good luck and God bless..

Move far, far away from your family. I can't imagine that going over well with them. Then elope in like Vegas or something and then live happily ever after.. I don't think it's wrong to love your cousin like that but I mean.. this could be a phase. Yeah, it's a sin but so are a lot of other things people do. Good luck to you.. Just don't make too many rash decisions..

If u were raised with her and u know that she is ur cousin, that makes what u are doing pretty much wrong. It is understandable to have feelings with someone that u have been so close to all ur life but u have to control urself as an adult and make the right decisions and sacrifices. Hope everything works out.

first, it really isnt that weird to date ur cousin, people used to do it a lot, maybe not as much now but it still happens. also if shes ur third cousin, that makes a difference too. also someone said if u have kids theyll be weird, thats not true. cousins can have kids and theyre perfectly normal. a cousin is far enough removed from you to be ok, and if u love her go for it. only part that might be weird is your family

Is she your first cousin or a more distant cousin, i.e. a second or third cousin? If she is a first cousin then you have committed incest which is illegal in most countries throughout the world. If you are second cousins or more distant then it is legal and, although not considered acceptable to many people, it is OK. In some countries 2nd and more distant cousins marry and it was acceptable in most countries as little as 100 years ago.

You did not say how old you are now but I gather you are rather immature. You have some serious disturbancies and I highly recommend you get into counseling soon..
My guess is you are too young to know what love really is. Go slow and get help soon.

I thought some of my cousins were cuter than guys I knew when I was young too, but the thought of dating or living or marrying them? Never...it's wrong. You're just 17, how old is she? I think I'd find someone outside the family. Maybe if she was past childbearing age...but not good when you're both so young.
