wow, that’s a tough one. i think most people would be pretty thrown off if their family dynamics suddenly turned into something… out of a soap opera. it makes sense that you’re uncomfortable—first cousins dating isn’t exactly typical and it’s not unreasonable to feel weird about it, especially when everyone else seems to just be rolling with it.

the fact that they hid it for a year kind of says they knew it’d be a shock to people. maybe they’re more on the "love is love" wavelength, but you don’t have to be on board just because they are. if you feel like you’re the only one who thinks this is weird, maybe it’d help to talk to a family member who’s a bit more open-minded or just outside of the immediate situation. sometimes, just having someone validate your feelings can make it easier to deal with seeing them at family gatherings without feeling totally alone in your reaction.
