How do I do this and am I a horrible person?

Anonymous

I feel like a terrible person but I liked him before knowing and he'd honestly be my dream guy if not for the girlfriend. The thing is I didn't just go liking a guy I liked a *nice* guy and everytime I try to build up walls he breaks them down. He seeks me out first at work, he pokes fun at my height to make me laugh, and etc. I literally unsent a text, insisting that I'd just stop texting him altogether and he had the audacity to text me wondering I had sent something to him and that he was sorry he wasn't on social media because he was busy I-

I'm not going to act on it but is there a way I could let him know he needs to back off without letting him know why? I've already decided to not text him back after he sends his next text because I need to get back to knowing how to not rely on him for my happiness and knowing how to not have him on my mind but it's hard training a heart to not feel what I already got stuck feeling. So is it evil I feel bad when I see his girlfriend or that I feel way to happy when he says something as simple as 'thanks?' Should I just cut ties with him completley? Am I being way to dramatic?

I just need solutions but I don't know if I'm even going to listen to the answer.

I changed the title but it was originally am I a horrible person for liking a guy with a girlfriend, I'm obviously not thinking straight
