Is it normal to feel relieved after a breakup just a week later?

it's just a temporary,girl. but, you should stop thinking him and don't reach jim out anymore. cut him off.
when you say their behavior didn’t align with you, was it something you’d been swallowing for a long time? sometimes that relief is your brain finally unclenching.
yes it was their habits Were not aligning with mine and I was always kept in the dark if he would smoke or drink behind my back
then sadness will come out of nowhere...
yes it did last night but I managed to stay present in the moment
relief for me lasted about 90 minutes....and then that space was filled with regret sadness jealousy guilt fear ...
this relief comes and goes every now and then so I am just trying to get better
that sounds like progress to me. the moment i stopped forcing myself to tolerate stuff that didn’t sit right, the relief hit first, the grief came later in waves.
this is exactly what is happening i feel relieved but then the sadness comes in waves
I was thinking about it again and then suddenly i got it by a way of sadness
i kept thinking something was wrong with me for not being completely destroyed. turns out my body was just tired of fighting someone else’s behavior.
It's totally normal and for me personally I think you just know your worth and that a week is enough for grieving. You go girl💅🏻
