Dating my cousin
The readers digest version of my story is this...my cousin & I were very close growing up, until we were both in our teens. I had a super huge crush on him, but never said anything because of the whole taboo thing. The family had become estranged, and it had been about 20 years since we talked.
Recently we re-connected, and all of a sudden all these feelings and emotions have re-surfaced, but 10-fold. We talk all the time, see each other when we can, talk of a future together & are very much in love.
So I know its "normal" to have these feelings...we aren't going to have kids (as he & I are both sterile) and we just want to be together.
Here is my "Is it normal" question: Is it normal that we are even considering getting married? I would love to spend the rest of my life with him, and I know he feels the same because we have talked about it. The only thing holding us back is my parents....I don't know how to tell them (even though I am grown & out of the house).
