She’s Not Attending Her Cousin’s Wedding Because Her Cousin Flirted With Her Husband And Asked If He’d Ever Thought About Them Together
This 33-year-old woman and her husband, who’s 35, have been married for five years, and she views him as her “rock.” He’s loving, honest, and loyal, which is everything you want in a partner.
So, after her husband revealed that her cousin Emma, who’s 28, flirted with him at a family gathering a few months ago, she believed him and was disgusted.
For some context, she and Emma were practically like sisters growing up. But that didn’t stop Emma from making some inappropriate moves on her husband at that family event.
Her cousin was supposedly “flirting hard,” touching her husband’s arm and complimenting him a ton. Eventually, Emma even asked her husband if he’d ever thought about them “together.”
“I was in shock. He immediately shut her down but told me because he didn’t want there to be any secrets between us,” she recalled.
“And I believe him 100%. He’s never given me any reason not to.”
That’s why, the day after the get-together, she quickly confronted her cousin. Yet, Emma claimed to be simply “joking around” and accused her of overreacting.
She, on the other hand, knows that her husband wouldn’t have just lied about something so serious. Emma’s behavior also left her really shaken, and ever since, she’s opted to keep her distance from her cousin.
This became a huge problem more recently, as Emma is set to tie the knot in just a few weeks, and of course, all of her relatives are looking forward to the big day. She was also invited to the nuptials despite what happened months ago. Even so, she has no interest in attending.

“I can’t pretend like everything’s fine and sit there watching her get married when she totally disrespected my marriage. My husband says he’s fine with whatever I decide, but I can tell even he feels weird about the idea of going,” she explained.
However, her family doesn’t know about everything that happened between Emma and her husband, so they keep pressuring her to be at the wedding anyway.
Her mom tried to say that it was only “one day” and she shouldn’t make it a big deal. On top of that, other family members have hinted that if she skips Emma’s ceremony, it will spark a lot of tension.
Still, she doesn’t understand why she should be expected to sit there and fake a smile while her cousin betrayed her like that.
She realizes that weddings are important milestone events, and she doesn’t want to create any drama.
“But at the same time, I feel like I need to stick to my principles here. It’s not like I’m trying to punish her, but I don’t think I should be forced to go just to keep the peace,” she vented.
Nonetheless, she can’t help but wonder if skipping her cousin’s wedding after she hit on her husband is reasonable or actually too overdramatic.
