I agree with Music. Since you knew it was going to end, it was easier to take. Like a vacation ending. You miss it, but you know you've got to get back to reality eventually.
I wasn't devastated over my last breakup for the same reason. I knew he wasn't it for me, but I was a little sad and missed him sometimes.
I'm glad you're taking his recent absence so well.
Maybe because you knew going into this situation that at some point it would end made it easier to accept the ending.

I don't believe the grief of something ending is a testament to how much you loved or didn't love that person.
