Today, I'm going to be helping the love of my life pick out an engagement ring for my cousin. FML

I can't imagine how difficult that would be. You are a strong person for being supportive of your cousin; I can't say that I'd be such a good sport if I were in your position.

Your love is coming. Just hold on an be patient. Congratulations on being a wonderful enough person that you haven't tried to sabotage your cousin's happiness for your own.

Don't worry, someone who isn't in love with your cousin will come along and you'll realize that he isn't the love of your life ( hopefully)

I know how you feel. It hurts deeply inside to know your love is deciding to be engaged to someone so close to your heart! :( It hurts so bad, but stay strong! Just going to have to move on, but don't stop being friends or anything, that's just selfish. Hopefully you'll find someone!

Wait, so the love of your life wants you to help pick out a ring for your cousin to give his/her boyfriend/girlfriend? What's wrong with that? No, but that's really terrible OP. How come you're even helping though?

Lady (I assume OP is a girl but my advice can go for a guy too), you are in love with the guy, and it clearly hurts. However, it cannot be the love of your life since this love is unrequited. It is very hard to accept it, I understand, I have been there. I met a guy during my studies abroad and he checked all the boxes of my ideal man, except that he didn’t love me back and only saw me as a friend. I was ready to stay abroad just to see if there was a chance for him to love me one day but I didn’t in the end because of visa issue. I was devastated and he never knew how I felt. It took me a while to stop comparing all men I met to him. Then one day, I decided that I could not live on “what if”, that I had to accept we would never be together and I started feeling better. Few years down the road, I am now engaged to a wonderful man and I could not be happier. I am still in contact with the other guy and we are still friends. He is single and I sincerely hope he will meet someone good for him because he is a great guy. What I am trying to say is, you will have to accept that this boat has sailed and only when you do that, you will start healing and moving on. But for the moment, try to prevent yourself from further hurt by going ring shopping with him, just find any excuse. Take some distance if possible. It will take time to get over it and a lot of strength, but it is up to you. Good luck :)
