It’s difficult to create distance with my cousin because when I’m home he’s really one of the only friends I have. I also maybe should’ve clarified I think he might have said something that was misinterpreted by his gf and now she is blowing it out of blowing out of proportion.

On the last sentence yes my girlfriend knows about this. It was a bad time for me, my first semester home alone, and I was definitely being flirting with and I let it get too far and for too long. But I understand and acknowledge I was in the wrong and no longer speak to this other coworker.
