Why does (my) Vim leave the cursor to the last mark even if I don't save the file?

Ok, the title is probably not accurate, so I'll try to explain.


Let's say I have a file with 5 lines

--------------------------

This is line 1
Another line
More lines
Even more lines
This is the last line

-------------------------

I save the file (Esc w q). When I reopen it, the cursor is at the end of
line 5.

Then I move the cursor up two lines. I quit without saving (Esc q!).

When I reopen the file, the cursor is now at the 3rd line.

Is this intended behaviour? If so, how can I tell Vim to ignore
movements but just this time?

$ cat .vim/vimrc
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim

"set shellcmdflag=-ic
set dir=~/.vim/tmp
set expandtab
set autoindent
set mouse=r

digraph bl 8226 " Insert Bullet with <CTRL>+k bl


iabbrev cwd <C-R>=strftime("%a %d/%m %H:%M")
iabbrev mydate <C-R>=strftime("%a %d/%m/%Y")
iabbrev mydate2 <C-R>=strftime("%Y%m%d")

map <f5> :1m$<cr>
