Unexciting update from me

If you remember my thread 'He's lying, isn't he', then you'll know that I was trying to make the decision to end my relationship.
Well, it's only been about three weeks since then, but I told him I was leaving him that same day, and have been a little surprised by how I felt.
I thought I would be lonely, tearful and questioning myself, but the reality is that I feel like a weight has been lifted from me, and have felt happier than I have for years. This has surprised me a lot, and I am worried that perhaps I am in denial?
We are still in the same house, but in separate rooms, quite amicably while we look for other individual properties. He has been quite miserable and at times does not seem to want to split up, but I have never felt I made the wrong decision so have gently reminded him when he oversteps the mark.
He has done a few things which made me laugh at him - talking about moving to my home country (why?), complaining that there was no clean towel ready for his shower (welcome to your new life :) ) and expecting that I would pay the deposit for his new rented flat (I always used to pay the joint deposit out of my savings). I am realigning his expections.
So, anyway I just wanted to say thank you to those who listened to my earlier thread - and maybe to ask if it is right that I should be so much happier already?

Loves this is his character now. He's just been found out and it's just that this is all new to you.

You did not create any of this, he did.

One thing I've realised, is that you get to a point where it doesn't really matter why someone is behaving badly, why waste your energy on his baggage which can be better put towards making yourself happy.
