I'm going to try to answer your question as best I can. Hopefully I don't misunderstand what you were trying to say in your post. If so, please let me know.
Firstly I want to say that I'm sorry to hear about your broken heart. I know it hurts. I must be honest with you though and say what I'm afraid you might not want to hear. I do think it's best to let this one go. Let me explain my opinion to make it clear for you why I feel that way. Relationships are often complex, full of challenges and tests that one faces while in love with another person. However, sometimes things become too complicated for it to be a healthy, loving relationship. This I'm afraid is what's happening in your case. His cousins have become too involved in a relationship that is not their own and it has possibly caused a problem. The real issue though is this: He is not sticking up for being with you and defending how he feels about you with them. Is that what you really want? A guy who lets other's opinions get in the way of how he feels? They're basically telling him how to feel and he's going right along with it. I must admit however that I strongly suspect there is a lot more to his decision to move on than just his cousins input. Sometimes when we love someone, we want to believe that the relationship is fixable, that there's an easy remedy and we refuse to look at what's really going on. Perhaps he just wasn't happy anymore?
I know it's hard to hear and I truly don't mean to upset you, but you can't make someone feel how you feel, you can't make someone love you - and believe me, you don't even want to try! Why would you settle for a one-sided love affair? Do you not know that you can do better than this? I know you say that you love him and I have no reason to doubt you, but you're only going to continue to hurt yourself if you don't let him go and let yourself heal. The very fact that he says he has feelings for another girl at work lets me know that perhaps he is ready and has moved on, which as difficult as it may be means that you should do the same. Please don't waste your time & energy loving a guy that won't love you back. Your heart will heal, you will love again in time. Just remember this: Time in itself heals nothing but what you do with that time can heal. My advice is to break off contact completely, give yourself some time and space to really consider this very one-sided relationship and see if you truly believe you deserve that? Your answer should be no. Maybe in the future you can resume friendship but for now, I think it's best to remain apart. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you this time, but believe me, you will some day find a guy that loves you the same way you love him and it will be worth the wait. I wish you the best & hope your heart heals quickly. Hopefully this advice helps you.
