Is it normal if i think success won't make me happy?

So my bf and I just broke off our relationship recently. To be honest, I dont know the real reason but it was mostly a combination of of things such as distance and us trying to establish ourselves. In the end, I think it was a good idea to split because he was a distraction for me but in a good way. In example, if I had the opportunity to do something for my career or spend the day with him (again we were long-distance so any time I got to see him was full of sparks) I would choose him. I would schedule around seeing him too. So in a way yeah I thought maybe not having him will benefit me. But honestly, its only been a few weeks and so far, the thought of being successful without having him in my life makes me feel sad, like idc if I finally achieved what Ive always wanted to achieve. Hes the only thing that makes me happy even if it was kind of stressful when it came to accomplishing goals. If my success can bring him back then Im all for it. But right now, Im working more towards my goals and theres doors opening, it feels good but I dont feel fulfilled. The only thing that ever made me feel fulfilled was him. No matter what, through the bad and ugly times, it was worth it. Yeah I can keep going and be successful, but I won't have him.

      You can still try to be successful and see him at the same time.

      • Well the thing is it's not up to me it's up to him and he felt like it was better to split. Even though he communicates with me every now and then and tells me he misses me, he thinks it's unhealthy to get back together especially so soon which I kinda agree. But if he were to come to me and say lets get back together then I'd say yes in a sec and do what you're saying

    Agreed with sadniggassadniggas's second comment.
    You don't have to break up with him to be successful. Just make sure that you don't harm your career to be with him for that moment and focus on long term goal with your boyfriend and career.
    Talk to him about it.
    I wish you the best for everything.

    • Like I said above, it's more up to him. He's the one who broke up with me and then later I realized it is a good idea because he held me back a little but if he were to want to get back together then of course I'm all for it and I'll just have to gain strength when I have something to do for work. I won't choose him all the time like I was. But yeah maybe the next time he contacts me I can talk to him about this. I don't think I'm just gonna text him and let him know cause like I said its up to him. I can't make this decision if he's not for it either.
