i will start this on off by telling you a bit of background information. me, my best friend and my cousin rented a new place together. i met this guy and we sorta just hit it off from there now 5 months later we are together. he makes me really happy for the most mart but there is one little thing. i find the relationship between him and my cousin a bit odd; i noticed that there is excessive physical contact between like they way they hug and sometimes they would lay together on her bed and all of that. i didnt really say anything because i thought i was being insecure but my best friend brought it up one day. i had no idea she noticed it too and apparently all of our other friends. i spoke to him about it many times about it and he keep telling me that there is nothing for me to worry about because he would never do that to me. i really feel disrespected in this situation and i feel like non of them really care about my feelings. tell myloters, what do you think?

To me it sounds like something is going on between them more than just friends. I would be very cautious if I were you and do not be surprised if something ends up happening between them if its not already happening. I would never allow my husband and cousin to lay in a bed together, thats very wrong and I would be ticked off! If you have the feeling somethings going on, it probably is. Your bf is not going to just tell you he cheated on you most likely.... I hope you do not get hurt. And they should both be more respectful of your feelings!

i broke it off this morning and yes i am very hurt, hurt to the point where i cant even cry. i feel like moving out of this house. the only reason why i am not considering it is because my best friend lives here as well and she is a really great friend, really supportive.

I truly think breaking it off was probably the best thing. And I also think you should have a talk with your cousin, if you don't she might make it a habit to gofor all of your boyfriends!

From an outsiders perspective, I think you have something to worry about, because you've noticed it and others are now talking to you about it. I've been in a very similar situation, and I wish now that I would have followed my gut back then and took care of things. I think you need to have a heart to heart with your cousin and your boy. Wishing that things work out smoothly for you. Best luck!

I think you should listen to your inner voice. If this makes you uncomfortable and they both can't or won't respect that, then you should move on.

First thing first, if your man respect and love you, he will not do that you because he knows you may get hurt. He knows that he is already in a relationship with you. But as you explain it here, your man us isn't that serious about you 'coz if he is, he wouldn't do such things that may ruin your relationship. Have you tell him what you feel? I guess you need to for him to know also. And if he still doesn't want to end it, I guess there is something you need to decide. Ask your cousin about it. I guess she'll tell you whats the real score between them.

I'm sorry to hear this kind of story again. there are a lot of similar stories happend between BFF and BF/husband. just this time,BFF changed to cousin. Accoring to my experience,i have to warn you to watch out. This is just a signal,do not believe your man's saying,if he really cares you and loves you ,he would not let this happend. if they do not have close relationship,how can they would lay together on her bed ? it sounds weird. trust me,my friend,i encountered such kind of things before and i left that man right away,finally,they (my ex and BFF) have toghether for a while,who says they are just normal friend?

I wouldn't believe him quickly, if not only you, but also you best friend and other people have noticed something is out of place here. After all, he's simply a guy and very often they lie or they just don't know what they want. A good conversation with him obviously didn't do the job because he did exactly what he said he wouldn't do to you. How about your cousin, any idea of her perspective here?

Granted that your cousin and your boyfriend are just friends. Still they have to give you the respect you deserve. They should not be all too touchy with each other. I think they have crossed the line. Just inform your boyfriend that even though that it was your cousin, you still feel uncomfortable seeing them that way.

I am sorry to hear that my lotters I as a woman do feel how do you feel now that is most cases I watched in our everyday program where their husband develop to one of her relatives in the same house.and in most cases she left by her husband surprisingly and they lived together . My best advice which is the best solution to that to find another house do not lived with your cousin. action speak louder than words and you are blinded with your loved of him so that's why even you see in their action that there is something wrong and people around you you still keep on ignoring because you still believe in the one you love who speaks to you.Do you think a theft will admit that he theft unless you caught him.It makes me angry and makes me feel how it was being cheated as I have experienced that before. so you should also confront your cousin if she is a good cousin she would respect you and never do that.wake up .. respect your self and show them how worthy you are that you should respect by them and leave that house asap before it's too late.

its important to listen to your heart,dont ignore the waring bells.its not proper for them to lie on a bed together and that closeness, put a stop to it or else it may get worse.if other people notice too there is a problem,open your eyes and deal with the reality.
