AITAH for dating my cousin's ex who left her for me
This is something I've been sitting on for a while and I genuinely don't know how to feel about it anymore.
My cousin and this guy were together for about a year. I knew him through her, we'd all hang out sometimes as a group. I never had any intentions, I want to make that clear. He was her boyfriend and that was that as far as I was concerned.
A few months ago they broke up. She was really upset about it and I was there for her through it. What I didn't know at the time was that he had developed feelings for me while they were still together. He never said anything to me while they were together, at least not directly, but after the breakup he reached out.
I kept my distance at first. But over time we started talking more and I won't lie, I developed feelings too. We're together now. My cousin found out recently and she's furious. She's calling it a betrayal and saying I went behind her back. I didn't pursue him while they were together but I understand why she's hurt. He chose to end things with her and then came to me and I said yes.
I don't know if I did something wrong or if I'm just caught in the middle of something that was already broken.
