Is this normal feelings 5 day post breakup?

InnerFatGirl

5 days post break-up and I feel stronger, more content and sexier than I have in months! I just feel fine! I feel free, and confident and sure about myself. I now don't even know if I want him back if the opportunity arises.

Is this normal?! We were in love and it was an extremely intense relationship. I do miss him but I just feel like I've moved on already.

I'm not complaining though :bigsmile:

Whoops, not 'is', I meant 'are these'. Sorry, been working all day :bigsmile:

It may not have hit you yet. There will be a grieving period, but it may take a while for things to sink in. I've been there before. Ended a 3.5 year relationship, felt great for a few days, felt like *kitten* for a little while, then really started to grow and learn and move on. I wish you the best!

Yeah, I was wondering that too. If it's gonna hit me later. I just feel like I grieved and now this is acceptance already. I guess it might be because I was already fighting an internal battle inside my head when we were having problems towards the end and I just started to care less.

Yea, the pre-breakup detachment helps.

But I tell ya--DON'T get back with him even if the opportunity arises. Even if everything is sucking and you're hating being single that day, remember there is a reason you two broke up. The fact that you feel good about the situation is awesome!

No two break ups are the same..hard to tell. You are a very attractive, sexy young woman and yes you should feel confident.

You rock! :glasses:

Definitely does. Plus I promised myself years ago that I would get over guys quickly and be strong and it's worked! It used to take me months, even years to get over a guy and now I just pick myself up, dust myself off and keep it moving!

I don't know, though. What if things were different this time? Ahh ...

Don't worry. You're still so young! I've got 7 years on you and I still haven't fully settled down. I can say with confidence that every guy I've dated has been better than the last, even though I thought "Who could be better than Douchey McAsshat?" every time.
