I am in love with my godfather...is it normal?

I am a 22 year old female who is in love with my Godfather. Surprisingly, he shares the same feelings towards me and I really don't know what to do. I have dreams about him at night and I want to start a relationship with him but don't want to upset my family.

Are the feelings that me and my Godfather have for each other perverted? Is it normal? He is not blood related to me. I REALLY need some advice. I also fear of what my parents will say if we decide to disclose our secret...HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

  • How much older than you is he? Not that I think a guy can't be quite a bit older though...I just think that more than 20 years of age difference is where I'd draw the line.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. After doing a lot of thinking, I realized that he was not right for me.

    Surprisingly, my Godfather will soon be married to his long time girlfriend this August and they are expecting their first child.

    It really did hurt when he told me the news, but I've got to move on.

  • He is not a relative, but is somehow related and was close enough to be deemed "Godfather." Thats the issue you seem to think will upset family & that have to face together. Otherwise you are also consenting adults & only 9 years apart, which is fine.

    Because this may upset family perhaps the 2 of you need to see each other on your own for awhile just to be sure how you feel. Thats not being secretive. That's being private.

    Once you know this is serious and likely long lasting - or matrimonial - then both go to your parents and talk to them about how things are.

    There is no point upsetting them over something that may fizzle out in a few months.

    And there is nothing perverted about any of this, unless there is something else you have not mentioned.

    I don't think it's perverted. Other people closer to you might not see it like that. I would be more cautious about the damage it could do to your family if you both decide to be together.

    Even though you are not blood related this is not healthy and I feel your family will be hurt and feel totally betrayed,,I would be physically ill if my daughter got together with her God father and she is in her 20's as well...Is your Godfather Married,,,this could really destroy your family..Is this worth hurting everyone in both families??? I hope you make the right choice
    for not only you but the ones who could be so hurt by this relationship,,,

    You're not blood related and you're probably very close. I don't see how it could be actually perverted. Now age could be a thing, but that's another issue and I'm not gonna discuss it.

      My Godfather is 31 years old...he was only nine years old when he baptized me.

    Normal, I think. Lot of gals go for somewhat older guys, and the fact that it's someone your parents trust and respect should be a bonus.

    Go for it!

    If/when you disclose it, you should expect your family to be shown that the relationship is healthy, but hopefully in time he can prove to them them that he loves and respects you.
