Is this odd?

Mybf's cousin (girl) calls him pretty much daily and talks forever to him. I'm not jealous but I find it kind of odd, should I? I'm close to my cousins as well but they don't call as freqently. What do you all think.

Don't think it's odd.

A lot of my friends come from very close families and they often talk to their cousins, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles on a daily basis.

Do you feel threatened by it?

I would only think it is odd because i do not speak to my cousins very much. It just sounds like his family is close which i think is great, it is not anything to worry about.

I wouldnt say there is anything to worry about even though i dont speak to my cousins all the time, they are seen as close friends also, thats probably what it is really, i mean i have a male cousin about a year and a bit older than me and whenever he comes over we are really close and hes often really protective over me which makes others think just like youm but trust me, its just an attitude ypeople have around one another, i think its great they are close, you dont often find many people you can speak to for a long period of time each day!

jumping the gun

Yeah, kind of not used to it. I forget that we come from two opposite backgrounds as well. He, a very small town, me, a very big city. I'm finding a lot of differences and it's actually kind of interesting just new to me is all thanks for the posts I appreciate it.
