hello mylotters! I feel so concern about my cousin. She and her husband always had fight this month. I do not know what is the reason. But when my cousin opened up to me, she said that her husband has an affair with another woman and she caught them in the act. The most sad thing was, the woman whom her husband has an affair with was also our cousin. In short, cousin versus cousin! What can I do now? I was caught in the middle. help me. thank you.

Oh my! What a biatch the other cousin is Guys sometimes could not resist temptation especially if the ladies are the one giving motives. Your cousin (who got cheated) and her husband should talk over this matter seriously. If necessary try to move out of that area if that other cousin is just living in the neighborhood. However, if her husband is not willing to change then I guess it is better for them to go on their separate ways. It is better to be broken at least we can be healed in due time than be cheated over and over again.

you're right at your suspicion that they were neighborhoods. Yes! Our houses were never far from each others! That's the problem because they always meet or see each other everyday. The two little children are always here in my house because they have nothing to eat since the mother and father are always quarreling! for God's sake, They shouldn't let their children die of hunger.I and my family took care of the two children. We let them eat and play just not to hear or witness their parents' quarrel. Thank you so much for responding to my concern.

Hello there... You really are in a trouble... But look at it this way... You need to follow the truth! Your cousin's hubby is cheating on her and sleeping with your another cousin... What does it imply??? Who is wrong??? Just be with the one who's suffering. If your cousin's hubby likes another lady then he should properly get separated from his first wife and get married to the new lady...

this is a very serious issue, let the wife talk to her cousin and ask her real intentions, if it was only an attraction, ask her to forget the whole thing and get lost out of their life for ever. if the matter is real love or something, you and others make her understand that it is wrong to usurp husband out of a good marriage. then ask your cousin's husband to give his wife one more chance, to save maiage and stop fighting. i hope the issue gets solved

CNN found that Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America. Women admire her because she’s strong and successful. Men admire her because she allows her husband to cheat and get away with it.Infidelity is a choice made of our own free will. Just sharing.

This is a very serious issue for your cousin. She has to really think about what she intends to do - save her marriage or give it up. It is not an easy decision for either. If she decides to save her marriage, she would need to talk to her husband and ask what happened and why it happened. She would like have to ask what her husband wants also. It is no use if your cousin decides to save her marriage but her husband wants to let her go. The matter would be made more complicated if there is children involved. If she decides to give the marriage up, she would need to think about how she is going to live her life, support her children if there are any. You may be caught in the middle in this, but you have to decide who is the right one, who is the victim in this issue. The infidels made a mistake. They both know that the man is married and they still went on with their relationship. Actually, you may be in the best position to help both parties, but still remain neutral. You just need to know how to position yourself.

That is a very sad situation. I would just try and be there for your cousin who will have hard times ahead of her. I feel bad that she is in this situation. It would be very hard to be in her place. Aweful! Just aren't any other words for it. I hope that with time if things don't work out with her and her husband she will be able to meet someone else who will treat her right.

I don't know why infidelity is common nowadays.I think you can't really do something about it,because it had happened.Maybe what you can do is to offer emotional support to your cousin,the wife because she is the victim here for sure.She should talk with her husband and cousin about their infidelity and settle their affairs;if she's emotionally strong to do that.You can also ask an elder member of the family to intervene and settle their affairs.

Wow! that is so bad, is a great disrespect what the cousin did to the the other cousin,she should respect the married men and the man is another one that is so wrong with his action, at the end he will find that he lost a good marriage for somebody that doesn't have a minimum of respect for herself and the others. I don't think you can do a lot just support you cousin (the affected one) and give her good advises, the advise that I would give her is to leave him or he will continue doing that and next time with a more near family,(mom,sister,daugther)whoever.

ouch! o my..this is a tough situation..and you are caught in the middle. advise the other woman (the other cousin) to watch her actions..she is definitely ruining the marriage. marriage is sacred and needed to be respected. the husband and the other woman should cut their ties to save the marriage.. it is hard to forgive and forget though..but first step is to know and then stop the problem and have some marriage counseling.

The best solution to this is you should not get involved in this. Husband and wife can resolve this with their mutual understanding.

i think the first thing you can do for your cousin (the one who got cheated on) is just to listen and be there for her. be supportive without trying to impose your own beliefs or push her too hard towards a certain direction. you dont need to be in the middle of it all, help when and where you can but let them iron things out on their own. ask her what she wants to do next, can she forgive the husband's cheating? can she get passed it? is there a way to save the marriage? if she doesn't have an answer yet to these questions, it may be a good idea to take a break or vacation so she can think things over. it's also an option to get outside help: from a professional couples therapist, the head of your church, etc. so she can get an objective perspective to help her come to a decision she can live with may it be divorcing the husband or staying with him. be there for her children, even if no one tells them something is wrong, children are very sensitive and can usually sense if there are issues within the family. without an adult being there for them, it could be a very confusing and scary time for them. i wish you and your family strength to go through such tough times :)

Wow stealing your cousin's man is a bad thing.. And you really are caught up in the middle. What can you do? You can choose a side and support one of your cousins. Or you should try to stay out of it and not become part of the whole situation. It still seems very complicated and I got no idea how these guys are gonna sort it out.Good luck anyways! :) You should be really careful with your cousins! :D
