Three years ago, Reddit had a post about dating cousins who were deciding whether to marry:
He is my first paternal cousin 26m, I am 23f. We come from Catholic, Filipino families.
We were like childhood friends. He used to come over all the time, sleepover and we'd play Nintendo64 and talk all night long. We talked about everything and anything. We would see each other at family parties and always had a soft spot for each other. The younger cousins would always tease and joke and ask us if we were boyfriend and girlfriend and say "you guys are going to get married". Kids are silly, but I can't say their joking was far off from the truth, admittedly.
Flash forward to the present, him and I have always been close, and we talked and texted outside of family gatherings. We both have grown up a lot and have lived our lives and graduated from good universities and are thriving in our careers. When the pandemic hit, I moved home and me and him once again re-connected as we always do. However this time, it was different... we fell in love. Not overnight, but it happened and we've been dating seriously for about a year now and envision ourselves together. Our core values and all our beliefs are so aligned. We understand each other and we always try, we have grown together and we are so confident that we can handle anything that comes are way...
