writes: So I lived with my cousin for months, we always were laughing and having a great time and we told each other everything and then I moved back "home" which is in another state and since she hasn't really talked to me. I dont know what changed, I found out today from my mom that my aunt said how she was going to be a grandma. And im assuming that my cousin is pregnant because she and her husband have been trying to have a baby, anyway. I don't understand why my cousin hasn't told me yet. She told her parents, our grandparents, and who knows who else but I thought wewere still close so I dont get why she hasn't told me.Am I over-reacting to something small or no?

reader, anonymous, writes (27 June 2013): Does your aunt have any sons? If she does, it may not be your female cousin and her husband who are expecting a baby.If your cousin is pregnant, she might feel it is too early to tell people yet. Many women miscarry in their first trimester. She may be afraid to tell everyone that she is pregnant snd then lose the baby. This seems more likely if she has been trying for awhile and if she has miscarried before.It is possible that your aunt was told not to tell anyone yet and she told everyone anyway.It is possible that your cousin knows that your aunt would tell your mother and you would find put from your mom and she wouldn't need to call you and tell you. (this is especially true if your aunt talks to your mom about just about everything.)You may want to talk to your mom and get more information. If your aunt conveyed that your cousin is indeed pregnant, you should call your cousin up and congratulate her on the wonderful news!Now is not the time to make this into an issue or about you. If you truly value your relationship and closeness with your cousin, you will forgive her for not calling you with the news. It is not something that she intended to hurt you so you must try to not feel hurt. Instead, you should make that call, congrafulate her, and spend some time catching up. I'm sure you will have lots to talk about.
