how did you find out you were cousins? I'd say continue loving him, we are all related somehow or another down the line

Whose father? Your's or his? And whci relationship are you asking about? Yours to your boyfriend or your's to the father's cousin's child??

Hmm... Sounds familiar, and I really should (but probably wont) take my own advice. You care or possibly love your boyfriend. And this person is very important to him. They have probably been through a lot together and yadda yadda yadda. So I say you just got to go and deal with it. Trust me, I know it's not easy. But you might find something about one of them that you like. No one said you have to be there best friend.

Hey lady, you are like a married woman. This is like a married life. Can't you just accept it? How about the boyfriend who just suddenly appears? How reliable can he be? You may end up loosing both and a lot of money.\n\nYou should not go to your new boyfriend. You should give your  boyfriend a scolding. Maybe threaten to leave him.

There's a good chance you might be able to keep him as your weird boyfriend and still leave room for another boyfriend.  You should ask him.  You know if he's weird, he might go for it.

I am not catholic but I can understand absolutely no reason why you can't LIKE your second cousin,,,, if you are talking about taking it into a loving relationship that may be another thing and it is not necessarily wrong but it could prove to be bad for children born (inbreeding).. I am assuming you are young and have a crush which can be normal, but it is probably best to leave love relationships outside of your family line.

i usually stop after 3rd cousin, and call anyone else 'distant' cousins, odds are we dont know and didn't grow up with or around them anyhow.  check with someone that does family tree/ancestry and they could explain what you want to know i would imagine

she is his sister. and you need to realize that. i have a brother who is not even a year older than me. and we are best friends. he dated one of our friends and it drove her crazy when we would hang out. chances are your boyfriend isn't going to sleep with his sister, leave you for his sister, run away with his sister. because she is . . . his sister. you never know she probably feels threatened by you for taking away her older brother. . . and only blood relative. you need to try and not be selfish, and just realize that it is pretty unfair to expect someone to put all of their love into one person. maybe let him know you are feeling a bit neglected. but don't make him give up his relationship with his only sister.

Whoa Nelly! I'm confused. So he's related to you?\nWell I heard thats a bad thing but hey if you guys love each other not like family or friend love then.... yeah . Whatever you want. But if you guys have children there could be problems there huh? And it's illigal right? Uh, be careful.

bring up a very intellegent conversation (one that is totally unlike you to bring up) and then make sure your cousin knows nothing about the topic you are talking about, and when he says that he doesnt get it, to teach him about it very kindly so that everyones says hat you are just the sweetest thing they have every seen and hey will totally forget about your cousin

dont stress over him there are better men out there, i mean how much of a dream can he be if he is with your cousin after you two were together?

The question you need to ask yourself is, does he feel the same way about you? Answer it honestly, there is no reason to get hurt unnecessarily.\n\nIf he does feel the same way, there must be some other reason you don't want the rest of his family to know. In a nut shell, if he does like you as well, and you aren't first cousins, what's stopping you from exploring the possibility?\n\nBest wishes to you

Choose the one you are closest to /or trust the most.\n\nThey either alredy KNOW, or they suspect.\n\nGood luck, sweetie....some families are really azzes about it---and I hope yours ISN'T!!!

Well, first of all!! Your Step-Sister is closer to you than your cousin but then you think that your step-sister is playing your cousin!! So, if something do happen, hopefully not!! but you need to stay on your cousin's side because, as you say, he loves her very much but you think  that she is playing him!! so just stay on your cousin's side!! iight, hope I helped you!! peace!!!!
