Why is my cousin so possessive of me?

Question - (21 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 December 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, *orothea writes:

Does this behaviour imply that he thinks Im his possession?

I told my cousin that I was buying a dress and he said 'not too short', I asked why not and he said 'you are not so young' (I am 41). Yet he also has said before that I have such beautiful legs so it does not add up, and besides, it hurts to be told Im not so young. If we are in the street and a guy eyes me up he will say something like 'what does he want?'. This is his general attitude. I cant help feeling its a bit like in an islamic family, we are Western however. Why is he possessive over a female relative?

Tell him to bugger off and mind his own business. You don't take that from a husband so why should you take it from a cousin?

I am very surprised that another females "advice" is not the same. What has it got to do with anyone how short or long her skirt is, least of all a distant relative?

petina1 agony auntIt depends on how short your dress is really. Why don't you ask some of your trusted friends on their honest opinion on what you look like and tell them to be truthful because it's very important. Then at least you can go from there.
