How do I avoid my obnoxious cousin's remarks...and are they true?

Question

I've been dating since I was about thirteen, and my cousin has only stated dating. We're both 20. I have a ton of experience with bad relationships and good relationships, and she is dating her first boyfriend, a really great guy. The only problem is that she always talks about him non-stop and how much she misses him, and even though I've had way more experience, she always tells me that I need to have "higher standards" and she asks me "have you EVER broken up with someone?" When in reality, she never has, and I have, many times. I love her and I don't want to fight so I just put up with it. But sometimes I find it really offensive, when I've been through so much more than she has. What do I say?

Answer 1

Tell her that you quite obviously have more experience with her and she needs to HUSH. You should only have to tell her once.

Answer 2

Tell her to get off her new high horse, Shes still new at the game and can't be schooling people on the rules yet.  

Answer 3

Sounds like after she shows up and you spend the requisite amount of time to say hi and do the niceties, then you need to just evaporate.

Tell her you know that this is all still a new experience for her, but that you've already been there and done that. She can come to you when she has some questions.

Consider getting her a copy of John Gray's book, "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" for her birthday. Great insight.
