[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this shouldn't get under my skin, but it does. Spouse and their cousin were very close when we met 4 years ago. Since then, cousin has relocated several states away. Every other week or so cousin will call (usually for advice/talking through things), and they will spend an hour to 2 hours just chatting away. I understand their separation has been hard on them and they're used to talking daily, but some nights I don't want to stop what we are doing so spouse can spend their time on the phone. Cousin also frequently calls FIL and BIL, so I know it is not just spouse.

I don't want to come between spouse and cousin, but am I justified in asking spouse to put some parameters on how much they talk? We don't have children, so it's not detracting from them.  FWIW, I do genuinely like cousin. They helped me a lot when I was joining the family.[/quote]

Your deliberate use of pronouns is really contorted. What's up?[/quote]

Opinions seem to change when the gender of everyone is known.[/quote]
