I called it quits with my boyfriend today on a video call. It had been brewing for a while, and the breakup was very amicable. Instead of feeling angry or sad, I actually feel fresh and excited. I think it’s because we got into the relationship very quickly, and I never really got the chance to explore or “play the field.”
You’re really young and it was a long distance thing, right? Breakups around then are really manageable. The way you describe feeling sounds reasonable. I’ve felt similar following breakups, even big ones. My first serious girlfriend that I broke up with was actually exciting. She and I weren’t really meshing and her friend (the one who got us together) had a thing for me. Ended up dating the friend within the same week (ah to be 15 again). That one ended way worse with cheating and all kinds of bullshit. It doesn’t real get brutal until you’re living with someone for years and then breakup.
