To never really cry after breakups?

I think about them a lot (too much), blame myself, feel lonely and sad, analyse everything to the nth degree, obsess. But cry? Nope. Is this normal?

I'm thinking maybe it's because I've done lots of processing in the relationship. I tend to leave it till they're on their last legs before breaking up.

Yabu - it's unhealthy not to cry and I've got a big backlog of breakups to process somehow (how??)

Yanbu - this is normal

I would have mourned the relationship whilst still in the relationship - and then not be as devastated by the actual break up as I am at the next stage of the break up already..

Do you usually cry when things upset you? Or tend to not cry/ I wouldn’t be surprised unless this goes contra to that.

^^ this by the time we've broken up I'm past it

We are all different. Not shedding a tear is normal for you. Why ruin perfectly good make-up over a stupid man?

It's fine. Like you say you leave relationships until they are on their last legs before splitting. So you can probably see it coming. It might be different if it comes out the blue.
