Question - (2 September 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 2 September 2009)
A female Australia age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hello everyone,

Over two years ago, I travelled to the States and stayed there for almost a year. I met my cousin there, he is 12 years older than me. We fell in love, in the beginning we did not dare to tell anyone nor each other but for some reason the more time we spent together, the more our feelings grew for each other. And so we began to have a secret relationship.

In the beginning it was very awkward. He'd drive 4-5 hours almost every weekend to come and see me but then eventually he moved to live close to me. We both knew that the day when I have to return to Australia would come, but still we tried to treasure every single momment together.

8 months into our relationship, I had to go back to my country. Ever since then we have been communicating via internet.

It has now been over 2 years, but then we ended our relationship just yesterday. He said to me, he wanted me to be free, he thinks its only good for the both of us if we ended our relationship because there isn't a future, plus we live like 15 000kms away from each other, we don't know when we will meet again.

It is so hard to maintain a relationship like this, but other than crying; I dont know what else to do.

I am heart broken, I feel life is meaningless without him making me smile. What should I do?? This is killing me, it hurts too much, I dont know what to do. I love him like .. a lot .. and I am positive the he loves me more than I love him. Why have things gone this way? I cant stop crying after we ended to relationship... I just cant

I feel your pain ,but reality, your cousin/lover did the right thing.He set you free and youre young and find someone younger not related to you and you dont have to keep it secret.I think the secret part is what I dont like.Why did you keep it secret,are you guys close cousins?Is he married or in arelationship? When people keep thier love a secret,it means they know it was wrong or its wrong.My advice to you is that you get past this ,live your life and next time find someone that you can be with openly.Take care and keep me posted!
