what is love ( for partner not kids)

Recently I have had to come to terms with losing the love of the women i adored ( i have posted on this before).
But as my mind clears and I see her point of view i can't help but wonder how much so called love is actually ego getting in the way.
I am now finally starting to want her to be happy ( even though i know it will not be my doing).
Is this not in it's way a purer form of love?

In the beginning I just wanted her to miss me, now she has started dating other people and it hurts( we have no control over heart) but I am desperately trying to be happy for her, and it got me thinking
What is real love? hoping your ex will be happy even if it is without you?

Or hoping they will suddenly realise you were the one for them?

I think the purest, most gracious form of love is wanting the other person to be happy, with or without you. There's also friendship love and sexual love.

Bloody hard to separate the three though I reckon
