ok this past january this guy ( jeff ) and i started dating. we liked each other for quite a while before we started talking about dating. he started telling me that he loved me. at first i was a little weary about saying it back but now i say it all the time.

we just broke up. and now im going out with one of our friends. jeff told me he wants me to be happy so i should be with this other guy. i put up a post asking for advice and now people are telling me that i dont know true emotion. that im in lust not love. i am really confused. i know in my heart that i love him truly but people are saying different.

they said if i truly love him that i would want him to be happy and i would rather him be happy than be with me. i need to know what you all think. please help me. i am really really confused about this.

if yall could shed some light on the situation i would be really glad to hear your opinion.

britt,

i know you love him. i knew it since you started dating him. its not lust at all. dont believe one word of what those ppl said!! they obviously cant tell the difference between the two. he loves you too. i can see it every time he looks at you.

Okay.....my boyfriend and I broke up. I loved him so much & to this day I still don't want him to be happy unless it's with me. lol. It sounds mean, but it's what I feel. And you feel the same way. There is nothing wrong with that. It just hurts to think of him being happy with someone else when you still love him.
