Is it normal to want someone to be happy even when they make you sad?

I love someone, and I really fucked up our relationship. He likes another person now and I cry and feel really sad when I think about him, but I still want him to be happy even though he makes me feel this way. Even though he kept telling me he loved me and kept me around as if I still had a chance, he didn't want me anymore. Is it normal for me to want him to be the happy with the new person?

    I guess its normal because you feel guilty for what youve done.

    You fucked up the relationship? You seriously can't expect him to wait around if you hurt him. He's obviously confused about the whole situation, I think you need to move on I'm afraid, you'll find someone, good luck!

    It's normal. I have done that for 8 years now. Although he moved out of state once we broke up he still called told me he loved me and how he missed "us" talked like he really wanted things to work our. He was the love if my life and I was young and dumb and didn't appreciate what I had. He still calls and says he loves and misses me but yet when it comes down to it he has no answer for as to why we can't try again. Either way it's a bitch to get over. And you won't until you cut all ties and have complete closure.

    You sound like a nice person. Quit that! Go to your local voodoo priest and stick knives in a doll of his closest resemblance.

  • Its ok to want him to be happy, but as much as it suks and as hard as it is u have control of how u feel and need to stop crying and feeling sad, maybe u need more time to heal, not sure how long ago u guys broke up, but dont stay home, go out, do stuff, meet other people to get your mind off ur sad feelings. its hard to see it, but time really does make things more bearable, so in the meantime, just dont think about those feelings and when they pop up, go do something fun. Get a puppy!!

    It is, but I hope for your sake you get over this fool. Him keeping you around was a pretty selfish thing to do, regardless of what you did to "fuck up" this relationship. I suggest you stop contacting this guy, he's only keeping you around for something to lean on if anything..
