My 10 month relationship ended tonight. Should I be happy I dodged a bullet or sad??

So I loved him, I still have strong feelings for him. But he fucking loved himself so much, would go on about how high his IQ was (153). What a genius he was compared to most other people. Told me he was a mover and shaker and I was 'just a worker'. Basically he set his own company up, and despite me earning a lot more than him on a monthly basis and having a bloody good job, I'm riding on other peoples coattails, unlike him. He often finds me boring because I'm engrossed in playing mum or fretting about work. He's above all of that, he's his own boss, he makes his own rules.

Apart from this the sex was lush, we had loads of deep conversations, we really enjoyed each others company but sometimes he was a bit of a dick (as per above). So am I wrong to end it because I think he's a bit of a dick? Or do I overlook this stuff because he ticked some very important boxes (good sex, conversation etc)? I struggle to keep relationships and I'm thinking maybe other people just put up with this sort of crap??

He may have had a high IQ but you are smarter than him.
Well rid.

We’re the deep conversations about how great he was and how you weren’t?
Well done for calling it day. Onwards & upwards!

Oh my - there's one dented ego out there tonight!

Still... never mind.

You had me running for the hills and I don't even know his name.

Condescending arsehole. This would really wind me up OP, making it out that you are not as good as him. I bet it was only to make himself feel better about his low paid "super career" 🤣 One only needs to justify these things if he has insecurity issues...definitely dodged a bullet.

Sounds like an arrogant bore, be glad he's bored off 😴

Even if he does have a stratospherically high IQ (which I doubt) he is sadly lacking in self awareness. Anyone who tells you that you are “just” anything is not a good person or someone you would want to be in a relationship with. You made exactly the right decision.

Fucking hell.
Never mind dodged a bullet, you've dodged a fucking m60 ammunition belt!
