I'm a 45 - year - old female divorcee. I was married for 13 years, and before that, I had three 3 - year relationships in a row. When I see people posting about the pain of break - ups and how they'll move on, I just don't get it. I've never been sad after a breakup. It's not that I'm pain - free; the pain I've felt regarding relationships happened while I was in them. After a breakup, I feel freedom. Admittedly, I have a pattern of choosing the wrong partners - cheaters, alcoholics, control freaks, or abusers. But I'm not alone in this, right? For me, the relationship is where the hurt lies, and the breakup is a relief. Why would anyone be sad during a breakup? #BreakUps #Relationship
