Has anyone else ever felt relieved and grateful that a person was not in your life anymore, when you had previously felt disturbed over their absence. And after a lot of reflection and introspection, you realize you are eternally grateful they are not part of your life?

I can think of several people aside from ex-boyfriends. Some were people I knew well and others I never got to know but was later relieved.

Oh yes. My two ex's as well as some toxic friends that only revealed that aspect later. It's made me pretty gun-shy.

There was even a great song written about it.
Tainted Love
" Once I ran to you, now I run from you "

Relieved and grateful yes but I'm still saddened by it.

OMFG!!! Hell yes!!!

I could make a long list of toxic people I weeded from my life, once I understood the nature of toxic people.
