Is it normal that I never feel sad after break ups (married, men)

You think I could get that as an epitaph?

You figure out a way to avoid the pain in life......let us know, cause pain in life is unavoidable, for the most part.....

Dance Away Lover.

You "need" the relationship for whatever reasons appeal to you until you don't need or want that relationship any longer.

Hence, no sense of loss or regret for you.

You've gotten what you needed when you needed it, and are able to walk away and move on to the next without looking back.

It is what it is. If it works for you, so be it. Someday you may find a relationship ... good or bad ... that you'll commit to.

My feeling on this is when you are actually in love with someone and they break up with you -- this will probably change. There are times when we think we were in love.... until we actually are....and realize we weren't before!

This is completely not normal unless you just don't understand the meaning of deeply in love.

Yup. That can't happen if you're really in love with someone.

The OP is "deeply in love" with a new person every day. I don't think "deeply" and "in love" are what she thinks they mean.

She is shallowly infatuated, instead. Doesn't take much to get over that - anything shiny will do.

You aren't the only one to feel this way. Each woman I dated I broke up with and I didn't feel sad at all. Gotta get rid of them before they get rid of you.

It demonstrates a lack of empathy.
