writes: My problem may not be unique but it is awkward, let me give you some background...I have recently got in touch with my step niece for the first time in 18 years, since we first got in touch we've grown to be close and be great friends. We met a few months ago and every thing was great. The problem is the past month we've become so close that we've ended up being in a relationship. Now from our background we know that no body would accept or understand our situation so we are left with a dillemma that we either break-up what we have or abscond and not be in touch with either of our families ever again. There is no other solution. Now I know everyone would think it would be easier to break it up but we feel we have connected so well that, that is not an option either. What do you think we should do?

 She is your step neice so why is it an issue, she is not a blood relation so this is not incest.
Why do you think people will have a problem with you having a relationship other than the initial shock, is it that you are much older than her perhaps, you are both over the age of concent.
Have a think about who you would be upsetting and if they really matter, running away will still upset people so why not stay and brazen it out, people do tend to get there head around things in the end.
This is your lives and so live it.
