I'm in love with my cousin

The Standard, a newspaper in Kenya, has an article with a woman asking for advice on her cousin:

I need your advice on something I am going through.  I am 24, my cousin is 30 and we are in love with each other.  The problem is that we know this may not end very well especially if our families get to know what is going on.  He is very romantic, handsome and he spoils me a lot whenever we are together.  Whenever we decide to end things, we always find a way back together and it has really proven difficult to end the relationship.  We cannot seem to let go of each other. {Elizabeth}

All of the responses are negative.
