All my girl mates and close friends think that he is totally out of order and that its just wrong but other people said that it was me who broke up with him so why am i so upset. This happened like 3 weeks ago and i havent spoken to him since and when i have its just been horrible comments. So my question is: am i overreacting?

If you don't want to speak to him, then don't. But you should definitely stop the nasty comments.

You no longer have a relationship with him, and he is free to do whatever he wants, the same goes for your cousin. The moment you broke it off meant you were no longer interested in being with him; that you feel jealousy isn't something you can control, but there really isn't any reason to be upset (for you).
Understand it from someone else's point view. Imagine your boyfriend left you, and then you went elsewhere to have a relationship, lets say with someone you know mutually; then suddenly your ex-boyfriend is mad at YOU? Makes no sense.

Your cousin, your best friend, does it matter? You did not want him anymore. Now let go!
