Question, should I befriend my husband cousin?

It's a cousin from his father side of the family
I really like her (as a friend of course) and wants to be her friend and we get along well but the only reason I don't really tried being her friend is because the relationship they have with my mother-in-law is so so, sometimes good and sometimes not so good.

For me I have a good relationship with my mom in-law and I don't want to ruined that.
Do you think becoming her friend would ruined it?

People from my husband family already knows we get along well but I keep my distance because I'm scared of the future 😔
I really want to be her friend though

Interpersonal politics is so hard. I think you're on about it the right way. Maybe bring it up to the cousin. Let her know you see that things aren't the best with certain people but that if she's willing to be friends despite that than that would make you happy. See how that goes.

@froggtongue thanks but it isn't worth it bringing it up with her. Lol
