Trouble is my boyfriend think tht my family is always taking advantage of me and doesn't like the idea, I had just done the same thing for my Dad only to be slapped in the face for it (not literally). Is he right? Am I setting myself up? I really like this guy and I know he has my best interests at heart but I think i'd feel comfortable bringing him home for the night knowing how he disapproves but at the same time I can't take my word back on my cousin. How do I handle this? I have absolutly no idea.

You have to do what you think is right. However, your boyfriend did touch upon something, and that is that if your Dad threw your kindness back in your face, would your cousin do the same. If you want your cousin there, just be careful that you don't pander to his whims. And listen to your boyfriend, even if you don't always agree with him. It sounds like he may have seen something you haven't.
