Maybe if you’re not sure, you could try rewriting the sentence. How about:
“Are you not friends with your cousin because you don’t have anything in common, or are you holding a grudge AGAINST him?”
This is just a little random thing, but you may find yourself interested in a podcast called “Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing” or something like that. It can be found on iTunes and it’s a fun little 3-5 minute thing that gives you helpful tips for good grammar. 😉
