Would be nice to know how distant we're talking about.
Marrying and having children together with cousins, even second or first, does happen and it's not in general guaranteed to have problems. I wouldn't base your love for each others on that.
You grew up separated, it's normal that you didn't feel like cousins and I don't see anything wrong with what you did so far, so please first clear up your mind on this, because your parents shifted a lot of blame on you two for basically no reason. It's their fault you grew up with a secret friendship without knowing you were related.
But in any case, if you were first of second cousins you'd have first cousins in common that you both would know of. Since this doesn't seem to be the case I assume you are third cousin at least, so I think the main issue is for you to decide if you are fine having a relationship that your parents don't approve of.
The relationship is pretty new and it's best to wait.
Best solution there
have an ounce of self respect PLEASE. this loser is so controlling and you barely fucking know him. why are you wasting your time like this?
Unless they’re not his

Why? She is acting like she has something to hide from him.
