I gave up the love of my life for my friend

So basically myself and my very good friend like the same girl. As soon as I found this out I backed off and helped my friend get her. I am feeling quite bad that I will never get her but happy for my friend at the same time. Did I do the right thing?

if your friend is a true friend he will leave the girl

if your friend is a true friend he will leave the girl

That's true.

if your friend is a true friend he will leave the girl

You're both assuming that he knows. And not necessarily - if that logic were applied no one would be able to date her and no one would benefit at all. What's the purpose in this?

Then he would lose his friend though.

Does your friend know how you feel about her? Does the girl know?

You've demonstrated extreme loyalty and valour, so that's commendable. But have they...?

Why? The OP says he's happy for his friend.

As the above poster said, by this logic then the OP would also have to stay give her up if he were a true friend..

Yes, i mean you did do a right thing in a way as, u sacrified the person u love for ur friend, which is very good, but does she love ur friend?

If u dont mind me asking?

'The love of my life' geez you weren't even dating her.

The idea of backing off from a girl for a friend is something I've always found ridiculous. Dating doesn't work on a first come first served basis, she might not have even liked your friend. Hell she might not have liked either of you.

It's not something I'd ever do purely for the lack of sense in it.

Well if she truly was the 'love of your life', then you wouldn't hve given her up so easily.
