I am an only girl in my house, so when my cousin came to live with us, I immediately bonded with her.We went to school together, and did everything together that people actually thought we were twins Even though I was older With 2 years.
I Took her as a sister I didn't have and she knew everything about me, so I had no reason to distrust her. But 8 years ago while In the university I came home on holiday and a guy in my neighbourhood asked me out and I really liked him.
I can’t say it was love because back then, what mattered to me was handsomeness.
He asked me out and I introduced him to my cousin. I would sneak out to see him but I later started reducing how frequent I did because he kept making sexual advances at me and then, one of my rules was no S##x.
He always commented on how s##xy I looked and insisted he wanted to marry me but I said I wasn’t ready for marriage and wanted to complete schooling and learn a trade as well.
I also let him know I couldnt just jump into marriage since I didnt know him well. I told my cousin everything and she encouraged me not to give in to him.
The admission list at my school was soon released and I travelled to check if my cousin made it.When I got back from school, I noticed my cousin was avoiding me. She would leave any room I walked into she just became distant.
It was one of my brothers that told me that he caught her making out with the same guy i was hanging out with and she collects monetary gifts from him. In fact, the guy boldly came in my presence and took her out .
I was hurt and felt broken because I really liked the guy but I accepted their relationship and told him to take care of my cousin. I let them be. Now 8 years later, I’m a graduate, an entrepreneur and married to a man that I love with everything in me. I thank God every day for giving him to me.
My cousin is still unmarried and keeps trying to come and spend weekends sometimes, even months with us. She is very jovial and likes talking to my husband and each time I see her laughing with him or trying to play with him, my intuition warns me to keep her away from me and my household.I have forgiven her and have nothing against her. I even thank her for getting me out of the sticky situation of trying to date the wrong guy but I don’t trust her.
These days, I say no whenever she says she wants to visit. The last time, she insisted she would travel down to spend a month and I said no, she insisted. I got angry and shouted at her. Since then, she has kept her distance.I love and trust my husband. I love my cousin too but I don’t trust her. Am I wrong?
