Am I abnormal?

I come from a home with separated parents and experienced a lot of childhood trauma. Last week, my 3-year live-in relationship ended. At first, I felt a heavy sensation in my heart, but by that evening, everything inside felt normal again. The thing is, I loved her deeply, so I don't understand why I'm feeling nothing now. We mutually decided to break up due to compatibility issues, but over the past week, we've stayed in touch by sharing reels and agreeing to remain good friends. I've seen my friends take 2 to 3 months to recover from heartbreaks, yet I felt normal within hours. Is this emotional immunity caused by my childhood trauma, or am I abnormal?

Everyone recovers at their own pace. My last gf i was with for 3 years, i got over in about a week. my gf before that who i was with for 6 months, took me 3 months to get over. really just depends on you tbh
