Is it normal to be so happy to be dumped

OK, so I just broke up with my boyfriend and I'm not sure if I was prepared for it, but either way, my reaction shocked me. We had been going out for a good amount of time and when he said "it's over" I breathed a sigh of relief. I don't get it. Even though the only reason I dated him in the first place was because I was bored and he asked, I still sort of liked him. No, I never loved him, but I can't believe how happy I am. I never told anyone when we first started going out and now I can't stop telling people that we're broken up. I can't remember the last time I was this happy. Normal?

    You went out with him because you were bored? Good for him he got rid of you, now he can breath a sigh of relief too; nobody wants to be with someone who thinks of them as something to do to pass the time.

    A weight off your shoulders maybe?

    sometimes that happens.

    it sounds like you had a lot of tension over the relationship and perhaps hadn't admitted to yourself that you wanted out yet.

    Sounds like you're happy to be single and free. Normal.

    Its because you just dated him bacause you were bored. You had no interest in him so you wanted him to go.

    Wow. I think it is normal because you probably were more stressed than you realized. I know the last time I was relieved about breaking up was when my boyfriend had caused a whole set of problems. Laugh about it.
