Search Results: guy says he has feelings for you

My boyfriend and I been together 3 almost 4 years. I’ll admit I am a nag and require a lot of attention. I’ve been trying to back off and not be too much, and it seemed to help us and I’ve been trying to get over my insecurities. I saw him yesterday and we had a good time and laughed made dinner together. Asked him if he loved me and he said yes and got a little annoyed when I asked a lot. Today I was busy hanging out with my pal and I called him to say I was all done and I asked if he missed me and he said “ no I just saw you yesterday” should I be offended I hung up. also my boyfriend has been not an emotion full guy and he doesn’t like to get into full feelings. I am the opposite and I love to say how I feel (I miss you etc love you) he’s not into that

This year I decided to move in with my Grandma and cousins. All my cousins are the same age, we grew up together and get along well. One of my cousins has a best friend who we see regularly and I grew quite fond of him. I had pushed my feelings to the side for a while but as our conversations with each other grew more frequent, my feelings grew. So one day, I confessed and he has also admitted to liking me too for a while.

We talked/flirted heavily with each other for like the first week after we confessed. We're both hopeless romantics, both fell hard and talked about a future together. However, he wanted to tell his best friend (my cousin) what was going on first before taking things further. Needless to say, things didn't go well. There's a 'rule' that my cousin's friends shouldn't go for close family and vice versa because in simple terms, it would complicate things. Also, I found out that this guy has a lot of issues in the romance dept and has led girls on in the past and his ex is kinda still in the picture (I've heard this from my cousins) there's a toxic pattern which he has never learned from apparently😭 He has told me that after talking to my cousin, he realised he wasn't ready to date despite his eagerness before. So we ended things on good terms and stopped talking. He's also not going to visit us as regularly.

Its been a week and my heart is SO heavy. I miss him so much. I grieve the future we could have had together cause I've literally never clicked with someone so fast.

I've talked to other close family about it and they think its none of my cousin's business, also dont understand why we can't figure things out together and believe my cousin is being manipulative. But my cousin would know his friend best right? There's also that bro code. I dont wanna ruin a close friendship.

But I don't know, should I text him? I miss talking to him, but it might further complicate an already fragile situation. Help?
