True Love
I fell in love with a girl a while back, we seemed perfect for each other. I spent countless thousands to be with her and and do anything and everything to make her happy, for a while it was bliss but after a few visits she went back to her ex-boyfriend because he told her "I joined the military just for you!" and she I assume felt pity towards him. Now she is engaged to him for the forth time and is completely miserable, I've done everything I can to try and change her mind but she refuses even though she has told me on numerous times that she almost asked me to marry her or that she wished she had met me first. I never felt like the way I feel about her ever before and hopefully never will again.
Anyways, is it normal to still be willing to do anything for them even if you know you'll never be with them? And I do mean anything, I have done everything that a girl could ever want (showered her with affection, treated her like no one else ever has, large amounts of flowers and jewelry, and anything else you could think of) I even took time off to stay with her after her mother died even though I live over two-thousand miles away from her and had no vacation time left. In the end I just want her to be happy, no matter what the outcome is for me. Is this normal?
P.S. I never did forget about this man (obviously) because he did make me feel good and he was an genuinely good person, but either the timing was not right or it just was not there. You need to figure that one out in your case. Good Luck to you.
