Should you ever feel guilty for being happy?
I know other people would tell me the relationship I am in or really want to be in is crazy and unrealistic. Everyone says to do what makes you happy. I guess I’ve been trying to live up to my family’s expectations too long. They say they don’t have any, but they do.

No, unless you just, I don’t know, killed your worst enemy. As long as they don’t hurt you, I don’t see a problem…
Without your families approval, you’ll find the relationship won’t remain satisfactory to you for long. If you are constantly feeling like you have to “prove” your significant other to your family, you’ll never be 100% comfortable and it will put a damper on things. Like it or not, our families do have the ability to influence our relationships IF we want to keep the family close to us.
Do you. As long as nobody’s getting hurt (including you), then be happy without guilt
u can b happy with no guilt , if u know that ur happiness was created in a good manner
of course your family have expectations all families do dont try and live up to them, never feel guilty for being happy
You should feel happy to be happy, and your family only wants that for you also. Just don’t do anything to foolish on your journey or they will be more hurt than disappointed.
Dont feel guilty about pursuing your own happiness.
if you are happy over someone elses pain then yes other then that have fun
