Yeah - when I went through a shitty traumatic thing last year, I was initially pretty okay because I was convinced that I had been making it up and that I was on the verge of losing my mind. I was outright chipper once I was told the bad news, because I felt like at least I had a concrete answer and I hadn't just made a massive ass of myself for no reason. From there, I reasoned, I could build on that bad news as a base and bounce back with less outright baggage than other situations where I had been in a bad way.

I spent the next week in bed. I woke up the next morning, it sunk in, and I spent the entire next week in a room, getting up to eat and shower once a day, and then going back to bed until I fell asleep.

I think that's one way this could go - I think it's likely, even. For the next few days, try and arrange a safety net in the event of you spiralling. Do whatever you can do to get that safety net.

The other option is that whether you've realised or not, aspects of your relationship have been bothering you more and more, and amidst any sadness this breakup could impart there may be a bittersweet sort of release or freedom. But that's extremely personal conjecture about somebody I don't even remotely know, so don't take my word for it.

If nothing else, keep a safety net in mind. Get some friends, irl or online, who can help you weather the storm. Think of some places that you love to eat at, preferably who do delivery. And allow yourself to process how you feel - not how you think you should feel, but how you actually feel. Don't worry about being the bigger person, just focus on surviving whatever might come next. Even if you don't feel particularly bad now, I urge you - make a worst case scenario survival plan, think about a safety net to help you weather this, and if you end up needing it you'll know what you need to do. If you end up being okay? Excellent. If you don't end up being okay, you've got that safety net in mind.

I'm sorry about your breakup TC, and I hope that you're gonna be alright.
