Hi Rainboy,
I had to respond to this. My YF was my younger cousin. We had a very strong relationship. Nothing sexual in any way except for his constant huggs. How i miss those! We were together every day, i mean every day! I spent all my time with him, and a lot of my money lol! Movies, arcade etc.

He confided in me. He did a lot of shoplifting. He was addicted to it. He would show me the things he stole. A lot of them were music CD's. I was so scared of him getting caught. I knew he would sooner or later. Even though he confided in me, i had to tell his parents. I KNEW he would be pissed off at me, but thought, he may see why i did this and also see i did this because i loved him. As it turned out, he did not see it that way at all! I went from being his best friend, to his worst enemy. He shunned me, avoided me, didn't talk to me, didn't even look my way when together with my relatives. This really tore me apart, broke my heart. The person i loved so much, treating me like this. I went through a long depression because of it, and even thought of suicide. That's how much i loved him and our time together.

What i am saying here is that in my case, it was bad. I still think what i did was right though, and he did get caught too. But he has never forgiven me, and that was the sole thing that broke us up. We have talked only a few times in the last 10 years now. Just thought i would share my experience.
