Her Cheating Ex Is Marrying Her Cousin, And She’s Sad That They’re Happy Together
Back in high school, this 25-year-old woman and her 26-year-old female cousin were best friends. Since they’re close in age, it was easy for them to get along wonderfully.
Then, she met a guy and they carried on a somewhat secret relationship for a whole year of high school.
She reached out to this guy first, and they struck up a conversation. They chatted a lot, and they said they loved one another, but they never hung out or did anything in person, as they wanted their relationship to be on the down low.
They only ever talked on the phone or texted one another, and that was the extent of their relationship for some time.
But then, they began going on dates in real life, and two weeks into that progression, her boyfriend quickly wound up cheating on her with another girl he dated before she came along.
She and her boyfriend split up and quit talking to one another, but they did end up having one similar class where they had no choice but to see one another.
“He then came back to me and said he was sorry and wanted to be together,” she explained. “So after him apologizing a lot, we got back together.”
“Things were going well when we started to date again until he decided to cheat on me with another girl he met. I was again heartbroken and decided to leave him for good.”
“He then messaged me here and there, saying he still loved me (while he was in a relationship with the second girl), but I didn’t give much attention to him and brushed him off, and he eventually broke up with the second girl.”

Years later, her cousin texted her asking about her ex and seeing if she was open to dating him again since apparently he was.
She replied to her cousin that she would let her know while she thought about it. But she figured that since he was a cheater way back when he probably still was, but she never got back to her cousin.
A couple of months after that conversation, she ran into her cousin at a family event, and her cousin once more asked her if she would consider getting back together with her ex.
She mentioned that she isn’t interested, especially since he’s a cheater. Her cousin laughed, and that was that.
Several months later, she found out that her cousin actually started dating her ex, and she was wildly upset.
She couldn’t understand why her cousin had asked if she would consider dating him again if her cousin was interested in going for him.
It also bothered her that her cousin knew that her ex cheated on her twice and then cheated on a totally different girl too.
She went to her cousin about her concerns, and her cousin simply told her she would find a man of her own sometime soon.
“I asked her why she was dating him after asking me if I wanted to be with him, and she said “Oh, we just started talking after and grew closer,” she continued.
“I was upset but then eventually decided to be the bigger person and let it go. I just want to say that I am in a relationship now and am happy with my fiancé, who will never ever cheat on me.”
She has been able to move on and have a normal friendship with her cousin after getting over the messy drama of her cousin dating her ex.
She does want what’s best for her cousin, but she can’t help but feel as if her cousin no longer likes her.
Her cousin is a lot more cold and distant to her, which has never happened before, and they barely talk.
“She is getting married to him next month, and I feel kind of sad when I see them happy,” she said.
“I am happy in my relationship, and my fiancé is great, but why do I feel like this? Why do I care about being close to my cousin like we used to be? Why do I feel kind of jealous?”
