If she is happy and he is not abusing her in any way, leave them alone and get on with your life. She is old enough to make her own decision. Would you, when 22, have wanted someone telling you how to run your life? Likely not.

Why would you want to interfere with her? She is an adult. Assuming she is enjoying herself - that he is not abusive to her - Let it go -

It is HER choice

Seconded.

I think the idea of trying to break them up is frankly appalling and you should be ashamed of yourself. She is a legal adult and can make her own decisions. If they are in love then that's what's important, not when they were born.

Songinthewind7 couldn't have said it better. Age is just a number. But unfortunately, today's young people are in average less mature than they should be. Believe me, I live with them...
If you want something else, something else than manga, animé, impulsivity and immaturity, you are considered to be looking for a sugar daddy. No one wants to believe that just because you are young, it doesn't mean that you are like everyone else. I am engaged with a man 28 years older than me: some people are happy for me, and some think I am just looking for money/a sugar daddy and are really trying to talk me out of it. It's non of their business! I don't care about who they date, then why should they care about me? If they don't like it- don't tell me. I already know, and I don't care. Mind your own business.

Not everyone wants someone his/her own age. Some people want younger, some older. And why is it ok for men to have younger women, but the woman is considered a "sugar daddy- hunter"?

Let your cousin choose who ever she wants to date. It's no one else's business. Just hers. Whoever she chooses to be around (as long as it is not an abusive relationship or the guy is married).

I fully understand how you feel, we went through it with a neice, she was 23 and he was older than her Dad, maybe it was just because it didn't look right, she is so pretty and it just urped all of us Aunts and Uncles but it was her life and we all kept out mouth's shut around them. A few years later she broke up with him when she found out he had other girlfriends, it was a money thing, he had lots of it and showered her with cars and all kinds of stuff.
I know it bothers you but you have to let it run it's coarse, if it's real or just money it will work out one way or the other.

I agree with the other advice you have been given. You sound like you care about her but mind your own business.
