It's done, should I be feeling more emotional?

TL;DR at the bottom

Some time between last Halloween and Thanksgiving, my now ex-wife told me she wanted a divorce. Our relationship has been dead for a while, so it wasn't much surprise. One child, no real property to fight over.

Since then, I've started seeing a great girl, she has a new bf, we've both met the other's new person, no problems there. I'm glad she's happy again, no jealousy there.

The only problem was she wanted to move halfway across the country and take our child with her. Of course, I was fighting that. Luckily, though, she changed her mind about that and we agreed to a shared custody arrangement.

Last week, our divorce was finalized. It honestly just felt like another day. No relief, no depression that that was over, nothing. We stopped arguing about things when she changed her mind about leaving the state, now we're being friendly and cordial.

Should I be feeling more? I distinctly remember our wedding and not really feeling anything special then either. We didn't have a honeymoon, didn't even have wedding night sex. It was just a fancy day to me.

Same with the day she said she wanted a divorce. I knew it had been over for a while, and had tried to fix things and get us in counseling before she said it, but when she did, it was just an ok kind of moment. We slept in separate bedrooms until I moved out, no more "I love you"s, then I left.

TL;DR: I'm not feeling anything now that we're divorced. Is this okay?
