I think you are on the right track and thinking, and feeling, about the whole situation wisely. You feel released. That's good. A relationship take two people working to make the relationship good. When one suddenly wants out and then a mere few months later is ready to marry someone else, that rather proves there was something "wrong" with that person. It may have been as simple as not having the ability to be honest with the other person. Or it could be much more complex and malevolent.
The point being, it wasn't your fault and there wasn't anything you could do about it. Life isn't fair. People, even those we love and think we know very well, can turn strange. We play the hand we are dealt and then move on. Hopefully having learned something about ourselves, and perhaps other people, so we can cope better in our relationships in the future.
