I want to avoid this creepy encounter but it might require brutal honesty.
I could invite him and his wife to my place, but they’re understandably eager for us to see their new home.I don’t want to lose the connection with my cousin, but I don’t have any good reasons/excuses without being brutally honest, which I’m hoping to not have to be in this case.: I’m so sorry this happened to you and your sister, and that you didn’t have the support and protection of family members.
I see your overall dilemma as a question of whether you should tell – or keep silent – about this aspect of your life. I have tried many times to talk to her about this issue, and nothing I say seems to make a difference. I was quite surprised by your suggestion that her husband should “compensate you for the cost he would pay an outside source.”
