well, good luck. i don't think that's a sin. that's called love. Jsut let things go. and see what happens. people will understand your love. and.. you know. after several years, who know? you guys will be still together? or... your parents would approve your marrige...hopefully.

just hope for the best. and keep loving each other.

time is too short to just let it pass.

I went out with my first cousin, so no. But I don't know what the law states in your country. I know here it's ok. Better check that out first.

We didn't deny we were cousins, but didn't tell people either. I know there is a lot of people who wouldn't understand.

It is only a sin because religon say's so. The real problem you face is children, in south east asia there is a high rate of defects in children such as siamese twins extra or lack of limbs, this is not because it is a sin it is because of their traditions marrying cousins etc. It makes you wonder where the many limbed gods came from hey?

Love finds its own way to exhist between 2 people it does not seek out and find unrelated people it just happens, just dont have children please for the sake of your childrens health, now you know this perhaps you should think about the future and what it could and could not hold for you.

Good Luck.

as long he is a human being i mean anybody is ok to love..

the problem is our society carries some preconceived notions about the way things should run....

and you really have to think on whether you love each other or not..

if yes then speak to your family members in detail and i'm sure u will find your ways...

tux agony auntWell according to some, "loving" your cousin is a sin... just as having sex with them, but then again having sex outside of marriage is also considered a sin... In the Philippines(your flag), it is illegal for first cousins to marry, so in a sense having sex with him is a sin.

Beyond that, it is up to you what you want to do. Of course, some people may look at your relationship and question it a lot and these same people will have problems with accepting it.

Personally, i would say you would be better off moving on and finding another person to "love", but that is only my opinion.

marriedlady agony auntIt is not a sin to love your cousin. It may be a "sin" to make love to your cousin and there is a difference. I think the correct answer depends on where you live. It is a sin to break the laws of the land and so your location will determine if it is a sin. mal *sigh*
