Spell side effects

I'm new and I'm very happy to find this wonderful site. I have a question about casting a spell.

I cast a spell to help a person move back to her home town (12 hours away). She has been in my area for about 8 years, but wants to return to her hometown. I cast a spell for her husband to get a job offer for a better job in the area to which she wants to return. I did the spell with love and with the intention that it'll be a better job for him, so they'll be happier there and they'll be happy to move back there.

Here's the thing - she's an ex-friend. We were friends and then she stabbed me in the back. I'm over it because I know that things happen for a reason and I forgive her. I'm wondering if it's ok to cast a spell for her to go back to her home area because that's what she's always talked about and also it would remove the pain of the broken friendship for me. The side effect is that she won't be here, near me anymore. The spell will therefore accomplish two things - 1) she'll be returning to her hometown, which is what she wants (and her husband will get a better job, too, to entice him to move) and 2) It will help me, too, because she won't be in this area, so the pain of the lost friendship will be better for me.

Is it ok to do this kind of spell? It honestly was done with love and best intentions for her and her family.

If this were me...I wouldn't go that specific. I'd do a spell to "allow the Universe to provide her with what she needs and what it sees fit to give her."
The job spell seemed ok, but she may be in that area for a reason she herself can't understand.

Doing a spell without a persons express permission regardless of your good intentions is a NO NO. I understand she wants to live in her old town but maybe her husband doesnt. Maybe the universe moved them where they are to keep them on the path they need to be on.

If she is your ex friend then shes your ex friend there should be no reason for you to have an interaction with one another aside for possibly bumping into each other in the grocery store. If thats the case you can ignore one another.

If she didnt kill your child or something extreme like that I dont see the need for magickal working and even if that was the case some would still argue its not appropriate.

If you are pained by the loss of a friendship then why dont you pray or work magick to improve yourself as opposed to trying to scoot her out of the picture which is really just to satisfy your own selfish desire to not see her anymore and your just dressing it up with the intention of that "she wants to go to her old town" even if she has said it before.

Sorry for being so harsh about it but it is what it is DEAL WITH IT!

I would do a "let her find happiness" spell. Leave it at that, she may need to be in your town, she may need to be in her own home time; who knows?

Can you do a "let her find happiness" spell without her consent?

Hmm, you might just be better off not doing spell work for her, especially if you ended the friendship.
