Hello,
I am from Kuwait, I love my cousin. My relationship is from almost 3 years and now it is a stage that I can't think to live without him anymore. He also loves me a lot, but I am afraid that my parents will not agree. I don't understand that what should I do. Plzzz if you can help me.

I am 20, and he is 26 from Pakistan.

You get into a relationship, without parents knowledge or permission, in a society where there is required. You hide your relationship from your parents, You still have not told your parents (since you do not know what they will say)

So, you tell them, and see what they say, You learn that you can not, and should not lie and hide things from your parents. Their anger may be that you keep it secret for all this time. The longer you wait, to talk to parents the worst it is going to be.

I have to agree, the parents must be told and you will have to see what happens. I also agree the longer you wait, the worse it will be, for you both.

What does your cousin say to do? Have you talked of the future?

Also, not to rude, but to keep your "love" a secret, how are you seeing each other, how do you go on dates, where do you spend time alone. Has the relationship become sexual. ( also an issue in your culture)

Are your parents traditional within your culture?
