Is this normal, or have I missed out a stage that I should have gone through?
RBG80,
I think it's fairly normal, but the time period varies a bit. I don't think you're an outlier. And, you may experience some strong feelings of sadness again, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the way you're currently feeling.
When my wife moved out of the house, I very unexpectedly, felt a huge relief. I didn't want her to leave, but after she left, I was able to easily get things done. That's when I realized how often I gave-in to her wishes.
