Do u believe in getting closure after ending a relationship?

Can it really be possible?
SweetMae · 70-79, F
I personally don't understand the need for closure. It is over when it is over.
I don't understand what closure means to you but imo both parties involved should understand their relationship is over. So a serious talk is important.

@BloviatingBuffoon from my experience (20 years ago), you usually break up because one person isn’t mature enough to understand.

Hence, closure is damn near impossible.
Then it's not prolly a serious relationship. I mean you have to have a certain level of maturity to commit yourself in a serious relationship. Otherwise, it's just I dunno...an experience. But if it happened many years ago,I think it's crystal clear that it's over and not worth contemplating (unless you're hooking up again)@SW-User

@BloviatingBuffoon that’s a good way of putting it.

But sadly... I’ve seen marriages end where one party couldn’t come to grips with their own reality... to realize their relationship crumbled to an end.

With closure you’re just looking to discuss what went wrong and explain yourself but really when it’s over it’s over and it doesn’t matter if you’re not going to fix it.

You can’t do anything about the other party, so if they don’t care to be mature, there’s no point in making your own responsibility to fix somenone else’s immaturity.

Move in.

The end of the relationship usually is the closure.....I only had one relationship where we continued to speak to each other after breaking up.

@SW-User why didn't I think of that?! Lol

In real life there is no such thing as closure. You just have to move on.

Apparently no one has a clue what closure actually is.

It is ending the relationship with an explanation.

I realize, in today's society, we have decided that no one should take personal responsibility for themselves..but really...they should.

Ending a relationship like an adult IS CLOSURE.

Ending it by simply ending communication and disappearing off the face of the earth is cowardly and childish.

Most normal human beings with any ounce of emotion can grasp that this can be difficult to get past when you have been left by someone you put your trust in. Someone you spent your life with... your time...you gave them your love and care. This is not some fatal flaw in you if you have a hard time moving on and forward because some coward was unable to face his responsibility to end the relationship properly. It is normal to want the ending to be without questions. To want to not be held by a string of hope. These are the things that are being talked about when someone says they need closure.

i didn’t get closure from my last one in time and it messed me up for years and i made a lot of choices for myself i prob wouldn’t have made if i had closure.

No. I may want it. But it doesn’t mean I deserve it.
