When he first showed up with his bags, I brushed off my hesitation as simple nerves about sharing space with someone new. I figured it would just take a few days to adjust. But it\u2019s been over a week, and that feeling hasn\u2019t faded; it\u2019s grown stronger.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something about him I can\u2019t put my finger on. He\u2019s polite enough, never outright rude, but he has this unsettling habit of appearing silently in the room without a sound, catching me off guard. I\u2019ll be going about my day, folding laundry or making a cup of tea, and suddenly he\u2019ll be there, watching me, his eyes almost too intent. He never says much, just gives a quick nod before disappearing, but it\u2019s enough to send a shiver down my spine every time.<\/p>\n<p>My husband doesn\u2019t see it. To him, his cousin is just \u201ca little eccentric,\u201d someone who\u2019s had a rough patch and needs some support. And I want to be understanding; I know family matters. But I\u2019m starting to feel like a stranger in my own home, like I\u2019m constantly on guard. It\u2019s exhausting.<\/p>\n<p>Talking to my husband about it has been difficult. I don\u2019t want to seem unsupportive, and I don\u2019t have anything concrete to point to\u2014no obvious fault, just a feeling that something isn\u2019t right. But each day, I feel the strain of holding it in, of pretending everything\u2019s fine when it isn\u2019t. I don\u2019t know how long I can keep this up, but I also don\u2019t know how to make it stop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1730323833956\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 740px; height: 896.219px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"7\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"allow-copy_covered_elem_id_1730323836930\" class=\"allow-copy_cover allow-copy_cover__minimized\" style=\"top: 26px; left: 10px; width: 740px; height: 896.219px;\" data-check-covered-elem-position-interval=\"12\">\n<ul class=\"allow-copy_cover-actions\">\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_grab-btn\" title=\"Grab Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_copy-to-clipboard-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Copy full text to clipboard\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_reset-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Clear Text\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action  allow-copy_maximize-btn\" title=\"Maximize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_minimize-btn allow-copy__hidden\" title=\"Minimize\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"allow-copy_cover-action allow-copy_beta-icon \" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"allow-copy__beta-testing-label\" title=\"Sorry :( \nIt is beta functionality.\nIt can works incorrectly.\nTurn off in setting if you dislike it.\">Beta feature<i class=\"allow-copy__settings\">  <\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel uneasy having my husband&#8217;s cousin around, and it\u2019s putting me in a tough spot.
