Her Cousin’s Fiancé Happened To Be Her Fling For Several Years Back In Summer Camp, But She Never Thought To Let Her Cousin Know About That
This young woman was incredibly close to her cousin as a child, and that has not changed as they grew older.
They now live in separate states completely, but they’re still just as close as ever. The literal distance hasn’t put a dent in their relationship at all.
Now, back when she was younger, she went to camp for a month every summer, and this went on for a couple of years.
The first year when she attended this camp, she was just your average camper. But the following year, she became a counselor in training, and then the year after that, she got to be a camp counselor.
“First year I met “Kenny,” and it was instant soul-crushing love where he was literally all I thought about for a year,” she explained.
“Next year, we actually dated (within the confines of being CIT, so we were very busy), and third year we actually found a way to essentially live together and talked about coordinating colleges, getting engaged, kids names and all that kind of stuff.”
“We drifted apart but would still text, and to be honest, I kind of always hoped we’d find ourselves back to each other.”
She didn’t ever end up getting back together with Kenny, but surprisingly, Kenny and her cousin wound up going to the same exact college, and they were in the same major too.
She found out that Kenny and her cousin were dating after she saw photos of them on social media together.

And she never told Kenny that he was dating her cousin, but she also never told her cousin that she had a whole summer camp fling with him either.
“So I’ve known about them for about a year, but I didn’t want to interrupt her being happy, and the opportunity to tell her never came up,” she said.
“Whole family “met” Kenny over Mother’s Day. I knew he was coming, so I tried very hard to stay low-key.”
“My mom is so obnoxious that when Kenny arrived, she basically screamed, “You look just like that little boy that Vivi had plastered all over the wall!! Is your name Kenny?” He said yes, and he clearly wanted to crawl into a hole, as did I.”
She and Kenny then said hello to one another and exchanged pleasantries, but it was exceptionally uncomfortable for the both of them.
The rest of Mother’s Day went alright, and she did her very best to stay as far away from Kenny as she could.
The following morning at approximately 9 a.m., her cousin phoned her up to say that she was hungover yet drunk. Her cousin then said she was livid with her for not ever saying a word about Kenny.
“I guess he spilled the beans and told her how serious we were,” she continued. “She feels very betrayed by me that I “allowed her to get so invested” in a guy with whom I had a pregnancy scare (for some reason, this really stuck under her skin).”
“I tried to explain, but she is having none of it. I tried to call Kenny to see what I can do, and it appears he blocked me.”
“I feel awful that she’s hurt. I made a choice about what to reveal to her, but I guess I made the wrong one.”
She admits that she never decided to tell her cousin because she honestly still has very strong feelings for Kenny, and she didn’t want to get in the way of her cousin being happy.
Do you think she should have told her cousin sooner about Kenny?
