why am i jealous of my cousin's engagement??

im in a serious relationship with my bf and we plan to get married in another 6 years and both of our parents know were dating and are totally fine with it but the thing is that my cousin is getting engaged and I feel kind of weird bout it because things are changing in my family (older cousins getting married, having kids,etc). does anyone have any tips on how to cope with this??

    I think you might feel that she is upstaging you and that you should have been engaged before her... Its OK to have those feeling but don't act on them.... Give the cuz the support and wish her well......

    You'll get past it soon enough. You just were hoping to be the first in the family to have great things happen, but your cousin is older and gets to do things first. It's an exciting time, so relax and enjoy the happiness.

    Keep reminding yourself what you want from life. Don't look at what others have right now. Look at what you have and will have in future.

    Put yourself in their places and see if you really want to be in their place. If yes, go ahead and get what they have. If no, (which is what is more probable) keep going your own path with determination.

    Come to grips with the fact that marriage sucks and that your cousin is a fool.
