As for your cousin, she made her choice. If you are worried about her reaction if you and Don do become an item, talk to her first. Explain to her that you love her son and you have serious feelings for Don. Get her opinion. Regardless of what she says, Don is still available. If you don’t snag him up, someone else will. At least she knows you love her son and you would be a good step mother to him. Someone else may not love him and take care of him the way you do. As a mother I am sure she would appreciate that much.

     Here is another thought; If Don is eating dinner at your home with you and your children, or spending more time there than necessesary picking up his son, there might be something there that he is feeling as well.   Sweetie, you will never know how he feels unless you ask. If you don’t take a chance, you may be risking a life with a man that could be ‘The One’.  You just might be risking your happiness and the happiness of your daughters as well.

     My advice to you is to talk to your cousin, talk to Don, and make a decision one way or another. You will drive yourself nuts if you keep going like this. But first, make sure your feelings are real. It would be a shame if he did have the same feelings for you if you are unsure. Remember that he had his heart shattered and you wouldn’t want to do that to him again. Good luck to you both, I hope this helps.
