    Sitting here reading all of these stories really does make me feel not as alone as I thought :-) I am 37 year old divorced mother of two living in the United States. I am also soooo in love with my first Cousin. We didn't seen each other for 25 years..family drama of course. So when we "met" for the first time at my moms house, it was amazing. I have loved him since I was 6 years old. He was always the guy I had the crush on, and wanted to marry, and hoped one day maybe he would love me back. The Crazy thing is, that day we "met" forever changed our feelings towards each other. That day I could not take my eyes off him, I was beyond excited he was there, and I was talking to him, and we wound up hitting it off, and just enjoying each others company. His mother actually said to my mother that day "Thank goodness their first cousins" after seeing the sparks between us :-) We talked on the phone 10 times a day for two weeks after our first meeting..talked about everything, life, love, history.. it was incredible. I felt so close to him. Then we went out to the bar one night. Hmmmmm... it was amazing. I actually grabbed his hand on the way in and OMG, I knew we were perfect together. The sparks were undeniable..I kissed him first, and he looked into my eyes..ugh...that was over 2 years ago and I still feel that tingle from that night. Since then, we have been inseperable. My family knew and is fine with the situation,. my brothers and sister tease me a lil, but they just want me to be happy. HIS familhy on the other hand...don't agree at all, and cannot accept us together. We are hard core catholics, and even though my mother told his father she checked with the church and it's not against our religion, he just canot accept it. Since they found out about a year and a half ago about us...we are still together and in love, but he cannot be intimate with me at all, not hardly even kissing. We are deeply in love,but he has so much respect for his father that he just can't be with me that way until it's figured out. This is literally killing me.. I have never loved anybody as much as I love him.. but the zero intimacy between us is almost to much to bear. Being with someone you love, but not being able to connect on that level.. I cry everyday, I'm constantly thinking he is with someone else (even though in my heart I truly don't think that..he's with me almost everyday) We have had sex twice this year... It's not even just the sex, it's intimacy period. It's so important and we have none anymore beause of who we are to each other. He was absolutely fine until his parents found out and his Dad pretty much freaked out, telling him it would "kill" him if him and I wound up together, going so far as to tell him NOT to have sex with me, and just be my friend. I can't imagine being without him, the thought of it makes me want to just die...him and I are suppose to be together forever. We both want that... I just need some advice.. do I just end it if he can't get over his Dad

    and his issues with us? The other messed up thing, when his Dad was younger, he had a love affiar with HIS first cousin, and his wife (my cousins Mom) sister had a 10 year love affiar with HER first cousin. Is it in our blood or something??? I just don't know what to do...please help..I don't know how much my heart can take anymore :-(

    i had the love at first sight for the first time in my life with my cousin, and, she was only a few days old, just coming back from the hospital. but i had never felt anything like it and i still remember. it was the best feeling. that is what led me to believe that there is something real to love besides a creation of our minds, something spiritual.

    This happened to me in June. I was visiting my family in Cuba and once i saw her, i felt a strong connection. We played with each other but i still disnt know if she liked me. But one night as i was walking her home she grabbed onto my hand hard. The final day in Cuba we kissed. I truly love her and am extremely depressed. I cant see her again til March. So dont worry you are not alone.

    so you're saying that you fell in love with your guy cousin who is 5 years younger than you? that's... kinda creepy. Anyway, none of my business.

    i'll tell you an easy solution. Revert to Islam. Muslims are allowed to marry their cousins. That way, it won't be weird or creepy or odd because it exists in that kind of culture.

    Wow I thought I was the only person in the world who was dealing with this problem......this problem of being in love with my cousin, but I don't know if it's just love or lust, I mean I know he feels the same for me, but I don't know. My family is not going to accept this, but reading some of these other messages just inspired me, that we dont have to get married but serect lovers.....lol we're already that now, but thanks for the posting.

    Well...I was looking for some "re-assurance" here because , as you already imaging I am in the same "freaking boat" as you. With the only difference is that I am 46 years old and he is 50 , mature old love? who knows! I have been living in the States for 26 years and I have visited my country only a couple of times, the last time I was there it was in 1994, then 16 years later I decided to visit again ( just came back 10 days ago) to my surprise feelings were still floating around my dearest cousin and I, and as the last time I was there, he was one of the first persons in the family I got to visit. It was his 50th Birthday and I got the chance to participated in that celebration, I got there the same day without even planning that, coincidence? Don't know. The thing is , we just felt so right and happy, it was a mix of emotions and feelings and everything in between, in the past we were very close, when I was a teenager I used to spend hours and hours listening to all he want to talk about, movies, life and that sort of things proper for our age, I just want to kiss him every time I saw him in my aunt's house, and surely he wanted the same, but he always had this girlfriend , I know her since I can remember, they were always together ( and still are with three children, but now he says that he have nothing to do with her since many years ago and he have his own room in his own house ) so I never had to chance to really be with him at all.

    Years passed and I moved to the States and the first time I returned to my country (1994), we just shared infinite kisses, very passionate and true, we never talked about our feelings or anything , we just felt close somehow.

    Now , this last time I visited there, it was so different , so "mature" and still "true" Like I said I shared his happiness in his 50th Birthday bash and I felt more closer than ever, without words or explanations , without me even knowing about the situation with his "wife" (they are NOT married, they are just together for 30 years!!!) So we decided to go "ahead" with our feelings and just do it, without thinking, without regrets, we were together as one and it was really amazing!

    We are cousins, my mother is the sister of his mother!!!

    Is this so crazy?????????

    I just say that if you are in love with that special someone wheather its two causins that fell into love or even a gay man or women that falls in love with the same gender, well the best to them all its really no one elses buisness. I have always believed that when you make a choice in your life its something you have already thought about and you decide where it will stand. as long as it makes you happy . And i would like to comment on Juliets story : Hun if you love your causin and he loves you baby you go for it and dont let no one get in your way. I am a person that is also in a long distance relationship with my first causin and we love eachother very much, my story is almost the same as yours. we are so into eachother we talk and text and we visit eachother on holidays we even talk about getting married. we've only been together 9mon. not long but we both know what we feel and its amazing how we both think alike. It kills me not to me with him i miss him so much, im 46 yrs old and i have been in a marrage before and a few relationships . But i have never felt this kind of love for anyone before, i now know what true love is suppose to feel like and its so wonderful.....Best of luck honey, AMAZING3

    I always knew that i wasn't the only person in the world who loved their cousin more than a family way. It just never crossed my mind that adults ran into this problem too. me n my cousin know we cant be together or do anything and we hate it but we understand and decided to ignore it as best we could. We both date other people and live our normal lives n we don't talk too much about it but every time i visit Colorado and see her i cant help but remember our first kiss. to this day we still have our moments where we are alone and just cant resist the urge to kiss and i always get at least one before i have to leave again to go back home. thank you for posting your story. it made me more comfortable with my situation.

    Just know that it happens more than you think. I too have a great connection with my older cousin and we have so much fun together. It is a bizarre situation but if you believe in love and know that it will find you in the most odd of places, then you are going to be just fine. It will be difficult to walk down the path of success but, keep in mind that you will be exaclty where your heart needs to be. Live you life without shame or sorrow. Love what is your heart desires, and laugh always, because it is the hurmor out life that keeps us grounded.

Am head over heals about my baby cuz she s 7 years smaller then me but all i know is there is no way i hell i can feel this way wit any other girl . . . We met 5 years back and since then iv always known that some tin was wrong wit the way i feel about her it was always more then i did about the others it was always more intence it was always so out of control so much that i pushed her away wit insults and comments and reasons to not talk or be near her but it made no difference i mean how was it that i was comparing this girl i was in love wit . . . Wit my cuz this girl that i tried to hard to keep out of my life . . . In all sence how could i do this how could i be so stupid to let my feeling s for my cuz stop me from be ing satisfied wit any other girl in my life . . . . Hmmm 5 years past and we came to be known as extreamly close cuzs . . . She would not listen to any one but me and neither would i only her . . . But the signes were still not enough for us . . . Every time i looked at her i was like wi do i feel so deep about her wi do i get lost wit u wi are u my cuz . . . . 3 months ago we were watchin a movie . . . Our fingers brushed against each others . . . And we held hands softly . . . By the end of 5 min i was not ready to let go of her hand and we were hold in hands tight enough to stop blood to reach my finger tip s . . . We turned to each other and i saw her eyes so clear it was to me . . . . All these years of fightin all these years of hold in back . . . . I was in love wit the one girl who looked in my eyes and drowned me . . . We been together for 3 months now it may not be long to who ever is readin this but :) :) . . . . Am in love and i know it . . . . Of course :) :) :) :) :) yes she s crazy about me to o o o . . . . Iv never seen any one look back at me the way she dose never thought i was worth this much till she held me in her arm s and told me . . . Il kill u if u leave me :) :) . . .

    Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, etc are examples of famous genius who married their FIRST COUSINS. So there is nothing wrong with people like us (who fall in love with their cousins)!



    Well I did not grow up with him, we were brought up in different countries and have not seen each other in a long time. So he is a MAN to me, not a BROTHER.



    I just cant help myself. But i also cannot tell anyone else. Its comforting to know there are many who are experiencing the same predicament as me. :D

    I just feel the same, good for both of us you're not the only one.. I really know to help my friends, but when I need advices there's none for myself. Ill tell you mine.. Even harder..This all came out when I went to Italy , for vacations and visit a part of my family.. Just for 3 weeks. We all had fun together, till I started to spend more time alone with my cousin, getting to know about his life.. It had been painful with his ex-girlf, he had been depressed, almost killed himself by 2 tries..I got shocked, cried and felt something special for him as cousin by that time.. Don't remember when we started feeling that connection between us..he started to kiss me on the lips.. That time we made that even stronger.. I left Italy.. We talked by Msn almost everyday.. I cried a lot cause was missing him like crazy. The love was growing every single minute.. I was loosing grip.. 4 months later he came to Brazil to live, cause honestly we needed eachother.. From kissing on lips we went to kiss passionatly one day we were doing home from the pool.. I was on bikini with the towel and good tanned, he started kissing me and pulling my whole body touching his body, during 4 months went to touches, and Finished sometimes in the jacuzzi, at times on dark nights, and our favorites in the car.. Its been markable and special for me, cause he was and is the first guy who had touched me.. 4 months later he found another exgirlf on facebook, and started talking to her.. 18 days after that he was on the plane on his way back home, Italy.. He got his girlf.. Left me with a broken heart, he left with a biggest part of it, now I just have some pieces.. We still love eachother, I know this love is one of the kind, I love he will get a child with her, I love her too, I bless him in his life, when you really love somebd you must let it gor if it has to.. Then he took his was without me.. We miss eachother, hurts freaking deep.. Don't really know if its right that he loves me more than his girlf.. I believe his words cause I feel them.. Our families don't know either, Don't know what I should do now, I guess I'm in love with him, I'm in love with his heart.. I just try to take myself out of his way.. But he gets mad.. I ****** him up sometm cause he doesn't understand out thing is and will change forever, cause he's getting his family.. We've never told to each other 'I'm in love with you' cause we both have our own ways.. He's 12 years older than me by the way..want him to be happy, but want me to be ok too.. Its not fair.. Really need you guys to push me up cause feel freaking lonely, can't talk about this with anybody.. I'm christian protestant and makes it even harder.. Any recommendation?:

    well im passing through something similar...i met my cuzin when i was 8 and i really don't remember much but a month ago i went to visit my uncles in San Francisco i have 3 girl cuzins and 2 guy cuzins... i got really close to my 18 year old cuzin im 18 also soon to be 19... we got along great we like the same music we have a lot in common... ii started having feelings for him when we went to cut his hair just me and him we actually had a great time... then we started hugging like really often and grabing our hands and while beeing in the back seat of the car i would lay on him and fall asleep... everything felt so right... but tha time came for me to leave we both where heart broken... and 3 weeks have passed since i left... since day one that i left weve been messaging.. texting..skyping on camera & weve talked about how we felt and we know its wrong but it just feels it was meant to be... we talk about having a future together we talk about how crazy in love we are... and you get the idea... hes coming over in 2 weeks weve talked how we are going to react because we know that if we dont control ourselves something is going to happen and hes staying for 2 weeks and in my house so you can imagine... and ofcourse our family dosent know they would try to separate us or just do something about it...

    wow im glad i found this ,

    bcooz i think i like my cousin

    i never knew him before but my oolder 1stcousin was getting married so we had a huge family reunion &&so all the family from my moms side was there

    the first time i saw him i thought he was just so hot

    and i felt so wrong but i thought nothing was going to happen between us

    but one night we were in the hot tub and we always hug ,, coz were those people that like to hug other people

    and my younger cousin was with us so we were laying looking at the stars and it felt so right in his arms

    i felt like i could tell him anything

    we did things but didnt kiss because we were with my cousin

    then two days later we were in the pool at about 2 in the morning and he pushed me against the wall and we started making out

    it felt good but weird because i knew he was my cousin

    he's 3 years older than me &&i think i relly like him

    the problem is he lives all the way in mexico , where as i live in california ..

    i miss him and ive only been back for 5 days .

    &&i wanna go back

    is this awkward ?

    My cousin relocated me after 37 years apart. We are 10 years different in ages but we love each other so very deeply. Everything, it seems, we have in common. I treat her like a queen and she treats me like a king and we are just so amazingly happy when we are together. I have NEVER felt loved by anyone like I do with her. This relationship has gone on now for almost two years and it is stronger than ever. We live in different states and I work and it kills us when we have to be apart.



    Being apart from the other and missing them so bad I believe is a natural feeling. My God, we both literally get sick when we first part and it lasts a week. It really is difficult for me to be away from her so much now I am considering early retirement just so we can be together.



    I felt odd at first and that has quickly passed and I really dont care what anyone thinks anymore. My Love for her is stronger than any ill feelings I may get from friends or family. She is really all I need and care about.,
