Is it normal that i want others to fail in their relationships?

I have a feeling that it is not, but for as long as I can remember I constantly want others to fail in their relationships. Most of the time, it is deserved as the bf/gf is not a good fit, but I get a weird kick of glee when they tell me it is over. I never act in causing it to fail. It just brightens my day when friends say its over. Perhaps I don't want to see others happy? (i am in a happy relationship for over 2 years now)

    I think you want others to fail because you like the fact that yours hasn't failed so it might show that your relationship is better then theirs which makes you happy. I sometimes feel the same way.

    You might want them to fail cuz your (really not trying to sound bitchy) not happy with your own relationship, or cuz your jelous that you dont have certain things that they have in theres.
    But getting as much joy outta it as you say.. idk thats kinda like daaumn! lmao

    Witnessing others failures might give one the feeling of a better status, therefore I find it perfectly normal. It's probably a way to compensate your other flaws by reaffirming your superiority.

    You'd be surprised at how many people secretly take joy in seeing others fail in relationships. So you're not alone. Fortunately for me, I don't have that satisfaction of glee you find, when you know someone's relationship has ended. There is some kind of unhappiness you have, or a root of jealousy stemming from somewhere that makes you enjoy seeing others fail.

    It's jealousy.

    No that's not normal. It says a lot about your nature.

    I think it would be a little more normal if you had just gotten out of a relationship and you felt sad/angry. But this is kind of dickish. lol

    I feel like that if some bloke I like has a gf. The guy I like now is currently single, at least I'm pretty sure, but if he had a gf I'd really want them to break up. I mean, if he was sad I'd feel bad for him, but I wouldn't feel bad for the stupid whore at all.
