How it's used

This expression carries a sense of relief that comes from removing a source of annoyance or conflict. It implies that the situation or person being removed was a constant irritant, and that peace of mind is worth more than whatever is being sacrificed. It is frequently used when someone decides to stop pursuing a lost cause or to ignore a toxic person entirely.
