Only problem you may have is your family, now that's an awkward problem, but at the end of the day if you truly love each other, any issues will be easier to deal with.

 There are three issues here:
1. The law - relationships with cousins are ok in some countries but not in others.
2. Medical - if this relationship works out you should be aware that any children that you have will be of higher risk of certain health problems that may 'run in your family' (it doesnt mean for sure, but the risks are higher).
3. Family politics - if this relationship doesn't work out then you may still have to see each other at family parties which maybe awkward for your other family members as well as yourself.

 How close of a cousin is your cousin? If it's a distant relative, it may not be that big of a deal. When I was in high school, I was dating a girl that was a year behind me in school. I introduced her to my parents. My mother (my family genealogy expert) asked her who her parents were and one question led to another, and the next thing you know, my girlfriend and I were kissing cousins. LOL. I guess we are all related to each other if you believe in Adam and Eve.

 Sweetie, I cant sit here and tell you what is right or indeed wrong for you. You have to make the choice within yourself my dear. Obviously you are aware of the potential problems with being with a relative, think about the long term, can you deal with those issues. Think about the risks and issues you may face, then I am sure you can reach a decision. Take care. xXx
