My best friends cousin hates me and he is affecting my relationship with my friend.

For example today he had access to my friends computer and he deleted me from my friends MSN contacts! He is logging in his WoW acc and adds me in his Ignore List. He is talking rudely about me. But he is a member of my best friends family! What can i do to stop him? I think that he is jealous because i have a friend while he doesnt.

Have you tried talking to him?
A relationship with your friend should be something open and everyone should be happy. Maybe you should try talking to your friend of what you feel? He/she should understand and help you resolve this situation.

As i told you before, he is a family member! His parents (wrongly) think that they HAVE TO be friends. I have talked to him (to my friend) and he says that I should not listen to his cousin. But since he is an obstacle between my friend and me (ignoring me in msn/wow etc) i think that I should do sth diff.

The fact that he is a family member changes nothing. If you feel that he’s being rude and being an obstacle then you are right in wanting to change this. You should not, at any time, feel closed in on yourself.
What about having your friend talk to his cousin about how you feel? Or has he tried that?

Wow, that is some dilemma.
I think that if your best friend believes his cousin over you then there is a problem with your friendship. This will either go away when his cousin stops being an *** or when you confront both your best friend and his cousin at the same time.

He doesnt believe my cousin. My cousin is just an obstacle because he is trying to stop me from talking to my friend. Last time he came to my house and he was screaming. Next time I will call the police. I think I should find a way to make my friend stop talking to his cousin since he is causing so many probs. But I need a stronger reason.

If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you, your best friend and your cousin/his cousin (I’m confused, you just said he was your cousin but before it was your best friends cousin?).

:( thats awful. just based on what you’ve said here, i think you have two options.

(1) you could try to make the cousin like you
(2) or you could try to get your friend’s family to help you.

i would try (1) first. because if (2) doesn’t work, it’ll ruin your chances at (1)

maybe your friend, his cousin and you could all meet up and talk about why he hates you so much. maybe its fixable.

Since this is your only friend and good ones are hard to come by then I say fight for him to the bitter end. Continue to hang out with him and either he will tell his cousin to back off or you guys will part ways from the cousin. How long have you guys been friends? One thing you guys could do is go hang out were the cousin does not know were you are. This would drive him crazy and from the looks of it who cares if it does. Good Luck and I hope you guys stay friends:)

You should definitely try to make friends with the cousin if possible. It will be much easier in the long run.
