I agree. I would only call it selfish if someone had decided beforehand they were going to do it, and then deliberately manufactured more suffering.

As a ridiculous example, say I decide I'm going to kill myself in exactly one year's time, no matter what happens. It would then be selfish of me to start a new long term relationship or get someone pregnant without telling them what my plans are.

The psychological pain someone can be in can be so extreme, that expecting them to continue in that state indefinitely for my benefit would actually be selfish of me.
Feel free to send me a private message.
