Yes, I believe this is me as well. If there were any feelings while we were together I believe they were resentment, anger, and disgust. I typically would repress a lot of this in order to keep everything running. I think I was on auto-pilot for many years. But as far as really feeling things such as sadness, love, that wasn't there. Even my compassion for my A had began to dwindle. What a sad state of being that was.

Even if it is a rollercoaster for a while.
I will allow myself to feel the feelings without guilt, I know that has to happen to heal and I suspect that the roller coaster ride will continue until details are worked out and things are final.
Thanks everyone for your support, I truly appreciate it! You can never know how much your support means to me.
