I agree with randomjelly. It's a lesson better learned sooner than later. You are in a situation you cannot control. You don't have to approve of your cousin's relationship but you kind of have to accept it. The more you try to change his mind the more bitter he will become toward you. My husband and I are in a similar situation with my mother in law. We hate her boyfriend but she would shut us out everytime we mentioned how he was no good for her. So we had to come to terms with the fact that she is with him. We still don't like it or him but it's the way things are. She knows we don't like him but she doesn't care because she also knows that we accept the relationship she's in. You'll be better off doing the same thing. Your cousin knows you don't like his girlfriend but he obviously doesn't care what you think because he really likes his girlfriend. Just be a good friend and cousin to him and maybe the situation will get better or when the relationship ends he'll have a Very good friend to turn to.
Is it normal that I hate my best friend?
