It's just online until it becomes real.

It's crazy how obsessed ppl get about this stuff ("Recently, since yesterday morning he left my cousin on read")...how old are these people?

I see now that your cousin is 25; how old is the guy supposed to be?

I don't see anything 'wrong' with what he's doing. My take on him is that he's a "Too nice" guy and doesn't know how to approach women as an equal. Yes, he sees he needs to shut a door on his girlfriend but he's wavering about how much he's going to hurt her feelings (duh - yes, but that's what runs in my head about him). As for your cousin - I think he's had a crush on her and is reading up on her to know more about her - definitely interested but isn't reading cues. What does she say - interested, yes, but does this mean wanting to coax him toward her or just let him come to her on his own? If she's waiting for him to move then he's made his move - as subtle as it is - He contacted her and is trying his best to find out about her likes and dislikes and possibly pick up a clue on what she might think of him. The lad is shy - if she's interested then she should move into his field and see what happens. Above all, he probably needs an ear to help him over this wall with his current girlfriend. Of course I might be totally wrong.... but there's no hurt going to happen to your cousin unless she's the type to jump before she looks.

I wouldnt say using her, but he shouldnt enter a relationship immediately after leaving something toxic like that. He needs time to decompress and figure out what he wants otherwise he could unintentionally hurt your cousin. She should let him be & jus focus on her life rn; if he did like her for a long time, a bit longer wont hurt

Sounds like he needs to deal with what he has going on with his abusive gf before dragging your cousin into his drama. Let me ask you, if she's abusive to him how do you think she will react if she finds out he's talking to your cousin? Tell your cousin to tell him to clean up his drama first. She doesn't need someone else's problems to become her problems.

Sounds like he doesn't know what he wants and if he was miserable with his girlfriend, it wouldn't be hard to leave her. People who are abused or controlled, have no problem seeing those people for who they are and they can't wait to get away from them. Sounds like an excuse.

Which her?

Using her for what?

UPDATE: He ghosted her but didn’t unadd her and watches her stories

How old are you? How old is your cousin?

Somethings fishy. Sounds like he's gonna have another "emergency" and ask her for money.

Playing her and lying to everyone

If his gf is so bad he should leave her otherwise he's a serial cheater
