She Told Her Cousin In Front Of Their Family That Her New Boyfriend Is Old Enough To Be Her Dad, And Her Cousin Didn’t Like That At All
A young woman has a 22-year-old cousin whom she used to be best friends with back when they were kids.
They remained best friends too after they became older, but then two winters ago, that all came to a screeching halt.
Every single time her cousin finds a new guy to date, she ghosts everyone in her life except for the guy.
Due to that and some previous problems she had with her cousin from two boyfriends ago, she stopped being best friends with her cousin.
Her cousin then got into a relationship with her latest boyfriend right after New Year’s.
Her cousin really didn’t share a lot of details about her new man. Then, her cousin changed her social media picture to be one that showed her new boyfriend.
So, with new information in hand, she decided to be an internet sleuth and look up her cousin’s new boyfriend.
“This is when I found out how old he was and that he has kids from a previous relationship,” she explained.
“His oldest I believe is 14 and youngest looks to be around 10. At the end of January, it was our first time seeing each other since last summer.”

“I knew she was going to talk about him and I planned to just keep my mouth shut because I figured she wouldn’t exactly like what I would have to say.”
One of their family members had a birthday party for one of their kids, and that’s where she came face to face with her cousin for the first time in several months.
Her cousin started talking about this new guy and then asked for her opinion of him. She tried to be diplomatic, informing her cousin that she most likely wasn’t up for hearing her opinion, before reminding her cousin this conversation wasn’t ideal to have in front of their entire family at a kid’s birthday party.
Her cousin wouldn’t hear it and kept pestering her to reveal her feelings.
“So I told her “well he’s old enough to be your Dad”. While I know this is insensitive to say, it’s true and she asked,” she said.
“She began fighting me on it and telling me that he wasn’t. When I mean scientifically…yes he is. I dropped the argument but figured she was probably a little heated.”
Her cousin’s boyfriend is 36-years-old, and her cousin is only 22 in comparison so there certainly is an age gap.
4 days after the birthday party fiasco, her cousin reprimanded her over text for opening her mouth and sharing her feelings with their whole family.
Her cousin ended the message by saying she didn’t want to be friends with her anymore if she was not going to be supportive of her new boyfriend.
“I’m genuinely concerned for her,” she continued. “She is deeply insecure and I know that all she wants in life is love and a family but I feel like it’s not really safe. We haven’t talked since except for when I told her happy birthday on her birthday.”
“We used to be so so close and I know people grow apart but I do miss her a lot, after all, she was my best friend.”
“I don’t want to see her get hurt again as I have in the past and he’s already promising her forever.”
Do you think it was wrong of her to share her opinion, even though her cousin asked her for it?
