In Finding Closure, How did it Make you Feel in the End?


Bittersweet.
I needed closure after hearing my first girlfriend passed away while our relationship was long distance. (We went back and forth due to my dad’s job, and her parents didn’t let us contact long distance.) I had to see her site with my own eyes before looking for someone new. I’m glad I got closure, even though it was sad to see her grave. I left roses.
I USALLY find the truth. Better to know then not. There is better people

I broke up with somebody I was with for 4 years. The last 3 were long distance. It took me 3 or 4 months for me to decide to do it. Finally late one Saturday night after the long distance phone rates went down I called her and broke up with her over the phone. It was hard to do and once it was over I wondered if I made a mistake. I was a little taken aback at how different the world seemed to me the next day. It was the right thing to do and soon I was able to move on.
It depends what closure means to you.
to me, it means I have moved on and feel free to love again.
so it depends on the relationship.
I dated someone in my 20s, who was great but he wasn’t ready for the next serious relationship… so I have to respect his feelings. So I took time to move on and has nothing to do with me or him.
my ex husband, I broke down due to breaking of family. That I was very angry…After a year, I have to learn to move on for the sake of our children…that mind set helped all of us…especially our childrens well being.
After my divorce, I dated someone who was not good for my kids…so we had to end it…
All these requires time and growth to become better for the next.
to me that’s the best closure.
“Closure” for me was to stop trying to figure out why my ex acted the way she did and to simply leave it in the past. Twenty years more or less wasted, but trying to figure people out, much less reaching some sort of understanding with them, is not always possible.
Grateful, but generally indifferent. Because closure now arrives well after I've already learned how to be emotionally strong enough not to need/require closure in order to be happy or content. It's just not important to me anymore.
Closure as in knowing why they ddi what they did? That's never made me feel better. Only thing that made me feel better was giving things time for the hurt to fade and for me to leave it in the past.
My best friend slept with my boyfriend years ago and I had a feeling about it. Years later she told me I was right and she was sorry. Woulda helped if she spoke sooner lol
It was a feeling of understanding maybe? Knowing that perhaps is was a good thing that the relationship ended and to learn from both the good and the bad, and move on from there.
I haven’t found closure on too many things in my life so not really sure what it feels like yet
Thanks , I guess since I’ve been here so long they figured it was time
I am for Technology and internet
There are some things in my life that didn't have a closure and I feel bad about it. But for those that had it, I feel relieved.
Understanding why my wife (now ex) filed for divorce really didn't make me feel better. Closure is sometimes overrated!
Finding closure is very hyped according to me.
I was very sad with my break up and we talked and got our closure but it didn't make me feel any better to be honest.
But it is a good thing to get closure as it helps you move on.
I expected it to be like it was in the movies were you feel great and everything is better afterwards but irl nothing real changed. I was still sad, in pain and alone
Funny thing about closure is the event you need closure on suddenly stops being an issue.
It's a good thing, and can help you move on that much quicker.
Finding her dead on the floor gave me some closure I suppose. Suicide is pretty much the ultimate goodbye
Finding Closure is difficult 💯very hard for me.
Maybe I'm just shallow, but the fact that we did not fire on all cylinders has always been enough closure for me.
It’s important Paris
It’s important to know and get the sense of feeling of why it happened
Relief. I understood that being without that person, did me better, than the opposite.
It is very hard or different for closure anything... there is always an option to avoid it...
In my last relationship it made me feel like the last year and half it was for nothing
Can you elaborate on what kind of closure?
Agreed
Any closure is good. Of something happens that you are confused about for years and one they you finaly undertand why it happened and you realised the explaination was simpler than you though
ahh thank you!
Time for storytime #2. So in 2014 my grandfather's mom passed away, I was around 4 or 5 maybe 6, not sure, but I was very attached, so her death really affected me. I got this bookmark type thing with her obituary on it and her death finally hit me about 6 years later (2020) when I saw everyone dying from covid or covid compilations, and it hit me that she only saw me for a portion of my life and she could never see me grow up. I cried for about 3 hours. My mom asked me what happened and I said "She's gone, Mama. I never got to really know her! She didn't even know what color my eyes are!" (she was blind) Ad now, writing this I'm crying again. Closure sucks.
Closures?
Like in general?
The few times I thought I need that, it turned out to be a huge letdown in and of itself.
No idea, I won't get closure
Closure always has weird feelings but in the end you'll be fine.
The disrespect was all the closure I needed
It is highly overrated.
More negative than positive
Closed.
Stronger.
