    As far as my situation goes, I felt my cousin was attracted to me ever since we were kids ... I just never said anything. It wasn't until a year in a half from now that he threw some hints my way about how he felt.... I don't he loves me it's just more sexual attraction. The hint he threw was "we have some good looking ppl in our family". Resently he came to visit and I went over my grandmothers house to say hello, I was in a room on the phone when he came in to lay down to cach some sleep before his departure, he ask me to sit closer to him so I did. He the puts his hand under my shirt and rubs my back and stomach. He asked me to leave with him and said he would bring me back but then said no if you go we will get in a lot of trouble. Then some how we kissed. ... And kissed again before he left. I'm not in live with him but sexually just the thought of him makes my melt.

    Also.. I searched it up and found out that there's only like a 3-7% chance of any birth defers due to having a kid with ur cousin so there's almost no REAL issue! All that could possibly be a downer about cousin lovin' is the lack of respect for in in our society. So if u love them more than u care about what other people think, then it's all good! Leave the fear of social humiliation out of the picture completely and let your heart be a heart and love the way it was meant to. Just be incredibly thankful for the fact that he loves you back and that you guys had guts enought to tell each other... Sorry for the long post.. Again -.-

    Reading this made me feel so much better about my feeling! First of all, thank you for sharing your story! Secondly, I really think I'm in love with MY cousin. I haven't told ANYONE and everyone just thinks we're really good cousins. He's never said he liked me that way but whenever I can I joke around about how he's perfect and that (when ever I haven't talked to him, we text everyday) I miss him. I don't think he gets my hints and it sucks. The other part is that me and my other cousin liked each other for a little and now.. Nothing /: I thought it'd be awkward talking again but it's completely normal! I'm so happy about that :) anyways when I told the cousin I love about what happened I also wanted to get his take on cousin lovin' so I said (kinda lied) that its gross that we liked each other. He hardly disagreed so I don't think he'd ever fall for me -.- it really sucks..

    I'm so relieved that I'm not the only one with this situation. my cousin is a bit older than me but i have always had feelings for him. It feels wrong but then it feels so right. As a religious person, i tried so hard to get him out of my mind. I really really like him because hes the only one who totally understands me and has been there through my ups and downs. there are times where i catch him starring and looking at me, then my heart starts to skip a beat (: I DAY DREAM about him all the time.
    I'm too ashamed to even tell my best friend. But i have always had feelings for him but it has increased since back then. I cant get him out of my mind. <3

    I belive you are the only person that knows for sure what is the correct thing to do, if you feel you must back off, do so... you need to listen to yourself to know what is the correct thing to do. Most people regret what they do becouse they dont pay atention to what they feel. When something is truely met for you... i believe it just happens with no guiltiness with no regrets, maybe sadness becouse of the family but you can always get over it if you feel its all worth it, if you cant get over your familys pointing at you, i would not recommend you to proceed.

    Juliet my husband and i are first cousins we just moved together a month ago, cant lie, it has gone way out of the hands with our family, we have 5 uncles in common and my family is very male chauvinist, so they all think i am a piece of **** and are very disappointed of my husband for what i have read it got to do a lot with how your family thinks, you know better than anyone who they are there ways and the reaccion they got for you two. i can also asure that even thow we got some dificult road ahead we love eachother very much and still want to make each others live happy and healthy and as far as i k now no body else, not anyone in the family will always be there for you when you need them, no one who critizise you will ever care either, no one but that person you know is met for you.

    ( CONT.) ...........only increase to about a 3% than those due to marrying a non-cousin. sweetheart if you were born only a hundered years ago your family and the society would have loved and respected your decision because marrying a cousin at that time was preffered to marrying a non cousin. a hundered years ago if a white man would fall in love with a black woman the society was just as disgusted as they are now disgusted by hearing of a cousin marriage. its the trends of society and their thinking, sometimes it is favourable to your love life, sometimes it is not. in around half the world including the country i live in people still prefer cousin marriages. there is no natural or religious or genetic boundary when it comes to marrying a cousin, only an idea that has settled in people's minds.





    PS. I also wanted to inform as a general knowledge point that the laws against cousin marriages that have been passed in so many states of US were passed long before the advent of modern genetics and biological statistics. now we have more data supporting the thesis of cousin marriage being completely safe.

    i never understand why people have started to frown on cousin marriages these days, the truth is that this is just absolutely baseless idea that has gone into the minds of people, it is allowed in bible , Qur'an, and most of the other religions in the world. about genetics, Charles Darwin was afraid that marrying a cousin might bring genetic defects into his family, but all of us know that he was definitely not at all educated on the topic, he never read Medel's paper his entire life !!!!!!!!! and in the end married his own cousin too ....... today modern genetics tell us that the chances of any birth defects due to a cousin marriage

    Love knows no boundaries. Everyone is related to each other anyway, just blood is spread thinly throughout the ages, and according to studies you wont find anyone further than like the 50th cousin. I simply cannot see how it is 'disgusting', to love someone. You can't help who you fall for, and if it just happens to be your cousin, then so be it. Keeping in mind pregnancy will be as dangerous as a woman over 40 (incidentally, they don't get discriminated against), i'd say go for it. Charles Darwin married his cousin. Albert Einstein's parents were cousins. There's accounts of cousins marrying in the Bible. What reason is there to oppose? None, but prejudices and narrow, simple mindsets that can't comprehend anything outside of what they perceive as 'fact'.

    Seriously.... Are you people crazy? That is beyond sick! All of your families would be ashamed and mortified.

    And I also would like to point out that everyone commenting is 15 or younger. Sorry girls, you don't know what love is and in a few years when you realize that you had crushes on your cousins you're going to be disgusted with yourselves.

      Don't be so quick to judge. The heart, the mind, can't be wrong... No matter what age. Sure it is complicated and hard, but sick? Who are you to be judging and giving bad vibes? You either have done something you deeply regret or just plain narrow minded to be on here giving a "lecture". let me give you some advice... Spread some positive energy, because it almost seems that your love could turn to hate.

    My cousins really hot and I like him. He's got a six pack, tanned skin and he's just really good looking. He's also lovely and funny. Whenever I'm around him with my family I feel really awkward and I love it when we're out with our other cousin and girls from his school get jealous because they think we're dating. Once he even pretended to his ex girlfriend that we were dating because she was trying to make him jealous and I loved it. I know nothing will ever happen though because I'm 15 and he's 17 and our families are super close and would be disgusted if they ever knew. I just get to enjoy our family vacations when he's topless by the pool;), and he's just like my big brother really x

    finally!! I'm so happy there is a place where you don't get judged.basically like all you guys i have fallen for my cousin dunno how though we liked each other since childhood but have never admitted it(since then a unknown attraction and bond has been there and we both know it). then because of some circumstances he moved away to a different part of uk. i was gutted knowing i was not going to see him often.



    when i was 12 and he was 13 our families met up for our aunties wedding we saw each other and smiled. i was quite happy knowing i saw him again anyway the next morning we went park he was either with my mum and my sisters while i was with his brother(younger than me). i felt that he was avoiding me so i ignored him. anyways i came back home with a heavy heart knowing that it would be another year till i meet him again .



    when his brother and his mum came here(i was 13 and him 14) went in contact with him(we would always text till late and we told each other everything). we were really awkward at the beginning but then we became really good mates, i talked to my mate about this and she said to try jealousy it may work because we had not confessed our feelings, i hoped it would and it did as soon as i said a guys name he said boyfriend i said yes and he was like "ooh" then after a few minutes said I'm tired. when i confronted him and told him about the guy being a fake and i asked him whether he was jealous and he accepted i realized our feelings then and there.



    that night we talked and asked random questions like who asked you out 1st who's your 1st crush and we found out we were quite similar.he found out that he was my 1st crush and vice versa i was really happy we also found out that currently we like each other.we have started to hit off from there. we talk about every single thing and we don't hesitate to share.

    soon we started to talk send x's hugs kisses and all sorts.we send loads of flirty stuff but we stay in our limits.soon he asked me out and i accepted.



    however its eid (Islamic festival) soon and he is coming here

    (NONE OF OUR PARENTS KNOW WE LIKE EACH OTHER AND ARE DATING)

    and we both don't know how to talk in front of our families so i really need some advice he will obviously hug me as he does every time but we don't know how to react like before because his mum always says "my daughter in law" as a joke but i think she may be serious.

    IS IT WRONG FOR ME TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM..............

      Well I too love my cousin and I'm also Muslim :P twins! Haha but anyways I don't think it's weird or anything and I'm pretty sure in Islam we're allowed to but idk for sure.. I'm sure ur aunt is joking with that little twist of also being serious. I think she'd be down for u two to be together or else she wouldn't even joke about it. When telling ur family, start with a sister or brother if ur close with them, then ur parents and only after he tells his, would I think it's ok to let the whole family know.. Just my opinion :) hope it helps u out!

    Ok so i really like my cousin. like a lot! and i honestly think a part of me always has. whenever we hangout we just flirt back and forth but i didn't know if he felt the same way as me. oh and by the way he is 27 and i'm 16. he came to visit my family this summer and when i saw him my stomach flipped. we started talking more and more and i spent more time with him than with anyone else. i started telling him about some problems i'm going through and he told me some of his. he started saying how he wanted me to go to this university near him when i graduate and how if i wanted we could share a place together so that i don't have to dorm. throughout the entire visit there was this bond between us and i knew we both could feel it. so when he had to leave i started to cry but i did my best to hide my tears. he gave everyone in my family a hug goodbye but i was shocked that when he hugged me he started to cry as well. he whispered in my ear that he loved me and i said that i loved him too. but i didn't know if he meant actual love or family love. but right after he got in the car to leave he texted me and we talked for 3 days straight. he then told me he wanted to talk to me about something important. he continued to tell me that he was attracted to someone he wasn't allowed to be and throughout the entire conversation my heart was racing. he finally said it was me he was attracted to and i told him i felt the same. he says he is in love with me and that he tried to not feel this way but he cant help it. we talk every single day and we talk like were dating. he was supposed to come back this Christmas so that we could see each other, but he said he doesn't know if he can control himself enough when hes around me. i miss him so much but i just don't know what to do. help please...?

    Yes I'm sorta in the same boat. I'm 14 and my cousin is 15, we have fancied each other for years but haven't been able to tell each other as we were scared that the feelings weren't mutual. About a week ago I told him that I had facied him for years and that I think I'm in love with with him. He replyed saying the same and that he wanted to be with me. I was so happy I couldn't believe it. We dated over text for a day ( as I don't see him very much because he lives in reading and I live in stourbridge.). Then he said to me that we should brake up as our relationship wouldn't work because we hardly see each other, we are cousins and what the family would think. We have gone back to just being close cousins but I still love him sooo much and he has told me that he still loves me too and wants to be with me, but wont cuz he thinks it won't last. Idk what to do :,(
