 Yes, confront him.
If it goes bad, you say you dont see each other now, so you'll just be able to carry on not seeing each other.
However if he feels the same way, then its up to you two to decide what to do next. You are both adults (19 now yeah?) so therefore your families should respect your wishes.
I really wish you all the best. Good luck.

 I don't think it was wrong at all. I myself don't believe in having relationships with cousins, HOWEVER; I've never been in your situation and who's to say that if I did have a cousin and fell for him, what I would do. I can't even answer that. I'm sure it's not like you chose to fall for him.
To answer your question of if you should contact him, I think you should. Maybe it will clear your mind of things you think of often and since it's been 2 years you are now 19 correct?
If so, you are a young adult and make your own decisions. If you still live with your parents, this will make a difference, but you are allowed to make your own decisions.
I'm sorry you were forced to have an abortion.
Good luck in whatever decision you make
Michelle

 I know where your coming from with the cousin situation. My cousin and I met for maybe the first time since we were babies. He had a fatal attraction for me. Only, he knew I was in a very depressed, unstable, and very emotionally sensitive time in my life. He took advantage of me sexually. He has been in love with me for years. I have told him that I will never be with him like that, and that what he did was wrong though. He wanted to get married and have children with me.
He is now with a friend of mine, and I hope that their relationship works out for the best.
I don't hate him. I just dislike what he had done to me! It was very wrong for him to do what he did, but I hope he someday realizes that his attraction was just because he was lonely, and I don't know what I think about his state of min at the time.
I really don't want to judge someone's feelings. I think it would be wrong to say that he was bad for the way he felt about me, and still does. Maye someday he will understand why life is the way it is, and why I didn't want to consider being with him at all!

There would only have been a problem if there was a history of your parents, and their parents and maybe even their parents marrying their first cousins and having children, when the risk of birth defects increases significantly. This would not be unusual in, say, Pakistan or India.
Take a look at http://www.cousincouples.com for lots more info.
Tell him how you feel about him. He may feel the same. What have you got to lose?

It is only wrong if you believe it is wrong. The ideathat it is wrong to have a relationship with your cousin is an antiquated one. There was a belief that if you were too closely related any children the two of you had could have genetic defects. They now know that is highly unlikely. If you have concerns about that, get genetic testing. In most states even first cousins can marry now. Outside of your family no one really needs to know you are cousins unless you want to tell them.
