Search Results: hurting his feelings

Me and my cousin are of same age and ever since we were kids, we would always be together in everything. play, fight, eat, sleep everything. we knew eachother's secrets and always had eachothers back. We would call eachother everyday to update what's happening and how our day went. suddenly from last 10-ish months he began avoiding me. no calls, no texts, no replies... but he would put on insta stories and call my father, but not to me. This really hurt me knowing that we both are legit like BFF'S that our entire relatives loved. So i asked him in a huge para about how horrible I'm feeling. all he said was he has a girlfriend and the only condition she kept for him was, him not talking with me or talk about me (she knew about me cuz he told her about me). I really don't want to keep my ego infront of me and kick him out of my life but also don't wanna loose my self-respect. I really love him (ofc not in anyother way) and ik he too. But do you think he did the right thing? And would you do the same if you were in his shoes?
Also let me know, what should I do?

I've known this one guy since HS, I was a freshman & he was a junior (14 years ago). We went to neighbor high schools but were friends on FB. We were really close or so I felt. He was there for me for my first heartbreak my senior year. During that relationship he confessed his feelings for me. After I graduated we hung out a few times at his place never even kissed but we would cuddle. I liked what we had bc I was afraid if we got into a relationship & we didn't workout then I would lose him as a friend too. He meant a lot to me. 3 years passed & I got into another relationship, this one was toxic & I couldnt talk to him much but when my ex & I got into fights I would reach out to him again. I spent the night at his place once too again nothing happened. Then when I was 2 months pregnant I was in a domestic violence situation with my ex & I had nowhere to go so I reached out to him to stay at his place but this time he said no. he was very cold with me. I was so hurt I removed him from socials and didn't speak to him for years. Another 3 years passed & I moved an hour away. He reached out to me wanting to know about my life & if BD was in the picture. He is not. This time he was in a 2y long relationship. I told him I was hurt because he didn't help me when I needed him. he said it was because he was mad at me for being with someone else & having their baby. I mentioned to him I was moving out of state soon so he suggested we meet one last time & said he could drive the hour to me. I said no & used the excuse that we were still freshly into the pandemic. He added me on social media again & then about a year later removed me. I don't know why. So I messaged him & asked if what I posted had offended him, he said no & that was it. But actually it wasn't I figured since that was the end of our friendship I told him I had had feelings for him previously & the reason I never spoke up about it, that I also felt he was all wishy washy with me.
