I am in love with someone who I simply shouldn't be. I have known her over ten years and we are the closest friends. In spite of her busy life she still makes time to spend so much of it with me. She lights up the room with the most incredible smile when we greet, I know her secrets and fears and joys. I adore her children and she likes that I am a good role model for them. I would love nothing more than to confess but the thought of losing in her in my life has kept me from it. Only, I don't think I can keep it secret any longer. She is my 2nd cousin. Cue sweet home Alabama, I don't care. Thoughts?
I think you should be more specific with your questions
More specific questions? In general, I was curious what laypeople would think. I have an appointment with a therapist but advice from non professionals, maybe even from others who've been in a similar situation could be just as valuable. So, would coming clean be a good idea?
>>34591678aside from possibly being the butt of a few jokes, there shouldn't be any problemsmarriage between second cousins is legal and a very small increased risk of birth defects in case of pregnancy (compared to non consanguineous couples) you're gold, follow your heart
>>34591663Do you think she likes you romantically or is sexually attracted to you? Are you both female?
>>34591738Idk about her having sexual attraction or romantic feelings. I am Male. Most of the time I've known her she has been in a committed relationship. It is only now that she is single and taking a break from relationships. Any move on my part would be down the road. Maybe, being single and looking for more from her partners than the previous ones have given, she might realize I've been providing it all along.
>>34591736You make it sound so easy. I like it. thank you.
