Monkeys aren't your relatives. However; modern primates, including humans, share a common ancestor. For that matter; depending on how far back you want to go, you share a common ancestor with grass too.

Who are my relatives?

We can't answer this question more specifically given that you are anonymous. However, all humans had a common ancestor c. 100,000 years ago. Their next closest relatives are the chimpanzee and the bonobo, which split off from humans c. 5 million years ago and from one another c. 1.5 million years ago. In descending order of relatedness after the chimpanzee are the gorilla, the orangutan, the gibbons, Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. These are your relatives.
