Always about her, never about me

I love my cousin. I've talked about her before, how she's more like a sister to me than cousin. Well fortunately it looks like her drama is clearing up and she's finally taken the blinders off when it comes to her cheating boyfriend. However, now, she is always about the newest guy in her life. How he is always there for her, wants to spend time with her, makes her feel special, etc. I'm so happy for her. I tell her all the time that I'm so glad that she's happy now. However, when I would like to gush about my boyfriend, she manages to turn the conversation back to her boyfriend as if my relationship doesn't matter. In my mind I'm like I've supported you through all your relationship highs and lows, listened to you complain, cry, gush and be in torment because of your relationships. But when I want to talk about mine, you could care less? I am very close to just giving up. If she doesn't care about me, why should I even bother?

hey vjenkins86!!hey while talking with your cousin, you can tell her in a friendly manner "dont interrupt, listen to me" and keep talking about what you want!make sure she doesn't get to create a scene and if she does then u can just leave the room, she'l understand the problem bettr only if u tell her what you feel!! :)

wow this sounds just like me and my cousin except she stays with the boyfriend and tells me how great he is when he does something great.. and how horrible he is when he does something bad..and when I go to talk about my husband she doesn't have time.. I finally got to the point where I didn't txt her as much and I don't answer her text as much... I havent cut her off totally but I have distanced myself because if I am not important to her then I don't think she should be THAT important to me
