Toxic relationship or am I just overreacting?
Relationship Stress / by littlePineapple6138
Last post
 June 5th
...See more Me (20M) and my girlfriend (18F) started dating last summer and things were great at first. Lately, there have been ongoing issues involving my close relationship with my cousin (20F), who is basically like a sibling to me. My girlfriend often feels uncomfortable about how close we are. She calls it “weird,” makes incest jokes, and gets jealous in situations involving her. For example, my cousin once invited me to a movie, and my girlfriend said she felt like a “second option.” I offered for her to come, but she refused, so I canceled the plans with my cousin to avoid conflict. She has brought up breaking up over this before, saying my relationship with my cousin is too stressful for her and that she can’t focus on school because of it. She has also insulted me because I acted “goofy” in front of MY family, saying I act “like an autistic” and that I don’t “use my brain cells,” though she later says she’s joking. She’s also compared me to her brother, saying he is more hardworking and I’m lazy, also ending it with “I’m joking, I love you don’t be mad” She did meet my cousin once and they seemed fine at first, but afterward she criticized her personality and called her fat. Even after I asked her to stop, she still brings up the movie situation about once a month and says nasty stuff about my cousin and asking me how can I be so close to her We do have fun and good moments together, she cares about me and always says that she loves me but I can’t forget her hurtful comments and I’m starting to feel stuck and unsure whether this is something I should continue trying to fix or if it’s better to end the relationship :/
