i met a guy a couple of years back. he was sweet and funny. we became friends. later i realized i wanted more than that. in the end, we were just friends. now i have a partner of my own. he's funny and sweet. life couldn't get any better. out of nowhere i suddenly remember my friend. as much as i wanna send out a casual 'hi', i feel guilty. so this is how it feels to give up on someone you (used to) is this even normal?

Yeah I guess that usually happens in life when there are times we forego with the things we want and get another thing. all of a sudden you have that "what if" feelings. I think you've already made a choice and I can see that you are happy with where you are right now. Why make it complicated? Go on and move forward and be happy and responsible for the choices you've committed to yourself and your partner. The "What ifs" will haunt you but you only need to shift your feelings towards your current relationships and stay and feel the love your experiencing with your partner then I think you've answered your questions already.

i think that this is normal... we always wonder what life would be like if we had done this or that...i often think about a guy who had a crush on me in highschool and what would have happened if i went out with him, would i be married to the guy i am now? have the kids i do? hmmmm...

I think it is quite normal, I think when you really like someone in your life you never stop caring, I often think of people in my past, hoping they are doing ok, even some of the people who hurt me.
