My cousin is listening to rumors about my girlfriend's mother

The other day, my cousin heard that my girlfriend's mother was making assumptions about me. After that, there was some distance between us, and we didn't talk at all. But I didn't hear what she said, so what can I do in this situation? Why does she get affected so easily? I'm afraid that this will ruin my relationship with my family because of the gossip.

I experienced a similar situation. My girlfriend's cousin was constantly gossiping with her mother. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but then I heard some ridiculous things. Honestly, these kinds of things ruin the vibe 🙄

Families need to talk as soon as these kinds of things come up. Everyone is acting like they’ve grown up but are still childish. If no one gossiped, these things wouldn’t happen in the first place.

But why are you reacting here without even knowing what you mean? Maybe it’s something exaggerated. You're creating a cold atmosphere and making things really tense.

Talk about this openly with your girlfriend. What did her mom say? Does your cousin also gossip about you two? Find out clearly. But I think you should stay calm. Don't let it drag on 😂

How was your relationship with your girlfriend's mother? Was there any tension beforehand? I'm curious.

@pazardandondum this isn't actually the first time something like this has happened. They had commented before when I bought new clothes, saying stuff like "did they buy this too?" There’s always a hint, you know.

@kahvebitmeden but taking gossip seriously right away is a problem just as much as passing it on. Why is trust damaged immediately? 🙂

I think you're making a big deal out of it. Just talk and move on 🙄

Your cousin's mom is talking, and you're getting mad at your cousin, but what's your partner doing in the meantime? Are they talking to her, or just watching? I think that's where you should focus your questioning 🤷‍♀️
