You don't have to be miserable, but the misery from leaving someone you love, even if it's 1000% mutual and friendly is not really a choice, but a natural and healthy emotional reaction.

Sure, but it's not the only valid response. It's perfectly natural to be upset when a relationship falls apart, but it's just as natural to mutually decide things aren't working out and move on without grief or regret.
