[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sounds like your dd isn't quite mature enough to have a serious boyfriend. To start, she needs to break up and just be friends with the current boyfriend b/c it's not fair to him to "date" him if she likes someone else[/quote]

Obviously she doesn’t really care about her current boyfriend and continuing that relationship is just cruel.

If she really liked the cousin, she shouldn’t “pull him” into a relationship with her that would cause him family strife.  When you love someone, you want what’s best for them, not to hurt them.

Similarly, anyone who is willing to bust up a cousin’s relationship so they can date their girlfriend would be a big jerk and not the kind of person one should want a relationship with.

While it sounds like both the cousin and your daughter might prioritize physical attraction over honor, commitment, empathy, and emotional connection, as a parent you should be teaching her better.  Since she is actually asking you for advice, you have a double responsibility (both as parent and advisor) to tell her this is a disaster and then teach her about healthy relationships.[/quote]
