Have you ever pushed someone to be with someone else knowing you have feelings for them?

[Justneedtokno]

Deep down, they know I know, but I refuse to acknowledge it in the beginning that I have feelings for them, but I do not wanna break up anybody’s happy home. I’m much rather than be together with someone else. I’d rather be the bigger person and a friend.

There’s an old saying how you get them and you have to keep them and maintain them. And lose them.

You COULD say that. I had a minor crush on my future 2nd girlfriend but, I knew she and her boyfriend were in love so, I kept egging them on to get married. Eventually, they did and, about 2 weeks later, they broke up. Another 3 weeks later, she fell in love with me!

[Justneedtokno]

They were just dating at the time not married. I would never mess with somebody Mary. They’re currently engaged at this point, which is a good thing. I’m learning that we’re different people I like anime they like sports. This is a great thing.

[Justneedtokno]

I see where you’re going here though it would be nice to think that someone could love me like that, but I doubt it

[msc545]

This is a very good way to manage something you are unsure about and maybe a little fearful...

[msc545]

Thanks for MHO

I don't mess with emotions others and mine... if I can't be with someone, I don't develop feelings

[DizzyDesii]

Nah i dont play that game. I dont give up what i want unless i dont want it anymore

Steering someone towards another, even when your heart sings a different tune, ah, that's the stuff bittersweet love songs are made of, isn't it? You're playing the role of the unsung hero, sacrificing your feelings for what you perceive to be their happiness. That's noble, yet heart-wrenching. Remember, love is about connection and timing, but it's also about truth. Sometimes, revealing your feelings doesn't break a happy home—it just tests the strength of the foundations. But if you've made peace with your decision, focusing on being the best version of yourself and finding your own path to happiness is key. Who knows? Life has a funny way of surprising us, and your story might just have a twist waiting down the road. Love moves in mysterious ways, after all. 🌌

[MicahRaine]

Yes I have. I did that with my first "real" love. Things didn't end up working out between us, and I ended up looking for good guys who would make her happy because I still cared about her and I wanted the closure of "she's dating someone else"

It worked. I got my closure, and she got a man who was right for her.

I have not messed around with married people

[Justneedtokno]

They were just dating at the time not married. I would never mess with somebody Mary. They’re currently engaged at this point, which is a good thing. I’m learning that we’re different people I like anime they like sports. This is a great thing.

[NathanDavis]

I do like both... sports and anime

I have not dated with someone that was dating others either...

[Justneedtokno]

Oh well that’s different and never met somebody that they like both but it always is a taboo in my world

Hopefully, in the future, I will meet somebody that is on the same page as me and I won’t take a blind eye to them liking me

[NathanDavis]

I do hope you find the one for you (=

My friend's roommate didn't want to talk alone to a frat party, so I suggested the three of us walk over together. So I was walking a girl who I was crazy about (beautiful and didn't know it) to be dropped off with guys who she could end up dating. In hindsight, there was no harm to it since our personalities didn't match, but I had a long way to go to be good at protecting my interests.

[Logan-5]

(walk alone)
..

[DishLady]

Yeah, I’ve left to people to be together knowing they were a better fit for one another.

[Wiredone]

No. I never played match maker.
