writes: I am a recently divorced. My question is, is it OK for me to date my ex husband's cousin? He and I have been really good friends for 4 years and we want to take it to the next level. What are your thoughts on this and how should we go about going public with it? By the way we have already been accused of it although nothing has ever happened. Thank You.

I went threw the same agony, for 10 years I was madly in love with Danny, and he was married, so was I, so two years after I was divorced, and a few months after his wife left him, we started to date and the gossip was out of control, but 4 years later he and I have become a happy family and the rude comments have faded into just your every day family members. You don't choose love it chooses you!

Go meet someone new.

I am speaking from experience. You will be happier to meet a new family If things get serious you end up going to family functions of the same family but a different man. Just find a new guy new family and a new start. People wont be jealous they will be shocked at this and they WILL talk, stare, and judge you I was never one for caring what other people think but that was hard to ignore. I guess it depends how much you really want to be with him or if its just easier than finding a new boyfriend

If he makes you happy then go for it. We only have one life and if we spend it worrying what other people think then everyone would be miserable. People always want something to gossip about and probably will talk about you for a few days but then it will be yesterdays news, just dont let it bother you. Its your life!! Goodluck

Why wouldn't it be okay to date your ex-husband's cousin? Stop obsessing about the busybodies of the world, and go find your own happiness. If tongues wag, its because they are jealous that you can find someone new after your divorce, and they haven't. Ignor them.
