True Life Story: In Love With My Cousin But Her Mom Says No Because We Are Not Destined To Be Together

True Life Story: In Love With My Cousin But Her Mom Says No Because We Are Not Destined To Be Together

Dear Lively Stones,

Please hide my identity, I am confused and in need of counsel. I am a young man of 33 years. After almost 3 years after graduation with no job, my dad was able to connect me with a distant Uncle who is quite wealthy in Lagos. My uncle found me a job in Lagos. I moved to Lagos in February of this year. In May, my uncle’s second daughter came back from the US and because we are close in age, we became friends quite fast.

Ezinne is  fun and bubbly…always wanting to make everyone happy. It was easy to bond with her, after work, she would come to my room to gist or drag me to the living room to gist and watch movies. She also used to like dropping or picking me up from work cos she had a car of her own. Ezinne and I also hung out with some of her rich friends sometimes.

Every time we went out, her friends will be all over Ezinne, asking her to hook them up with me. Ezinner used to tease me that I was a heart breaker cos I told her I was not ready for relationship cos I just started working and I needed to focus on building a career or something before I get involved with any lady. But I noticed that despite how much I denied it, I started having feelings for Ezinne.

Trust me I fought those thoughts or feelings for Ezinne…I did…but I think she also started feeling same way. I started noticing subtle flirting from her. The feelings began to affect even my sleep…I had wet dreams about her…but told myself…Ezinne was not an option. She is my benefactor’s daughter. Besides, she had a boyfriend, some rich guy’s son from our village…so, I tried to ignore how both of us were feeling.

Well, so far, I have succeeded to keep the feelings away but few weeks ago, I fell ill. I had to stay home after I was given medications. Ezinner was around me like a dotting nurse, taking care of me. One night, my fever was so high, everyone was worried….Ezinne began to cry. But thank God, I got better after a week or so. When I got better, Ezinne said she was so scared of loosing me. It was a vulnerable moment, we started kissing …it was like all the bottled emotions started coming up.

We were able to stop before it went too far but since that day, things have not been the same. I have intentionally stayed away from Ezinne because we both want each other so much but I am scared. I know where I come from, I have nothing to offer her. But she said she does not care. I am also scared of her parents, what will they say? Remember we are distant cousins, we are supposed to be family.

Ezinne does not think any of my concerns matter, she said she would tell her parents about her feelings. Few days ago, her mom called me and said I should forget about his daughter, that she is not my destiny. Since that day, the mom has been acting aggressive to me. This morning, the mom came and asked me to leave their house by end of the week. I apologized and told her that I will not pursue any relationship with her daughter but she insisted I leave by weekend.

I left home without waiting for Ezinne to drop me this morning. She has been calling my phone, am sure she wants to know what happened. That is why I am confused. I know Ezinne, she would go against her mother if possible…she has not told her dad cos he travelled. I am thinking of actually leaving their house but I have not saved enough money for my own accommodation.

What will I do…going home now is making me nervous….Ezinne is something else….rich kid…she does not fully understand….me, I can deny my feelings but she does not want to let me be…she believes she is an adult and no one can tell her what to do. I support that kind of thinking but I am simply not emotionally or financially ready…..I know I like her alot…I have feelings for her but the time is not right...and as a woman, I know she cant probably wait for me to be stable…should I just tell her I dont have feelings for her anymore…so she can forget about us?
