Closure is something that varies from person to person. How do you think you would feel if you could express your feelings of the breakup to your ex? It's never easy to let someone go, so it's completely fine to ask or want closure. As humans, we want to be able to let go and move on from experiences that end with pain. To forget seems like the best way to move forward and carry on. It depends on how you feel you could best handle it. After all, only you know yourself the best.

It is really hard, especially if you are feeling like it is not possible to reach out to them and talk. Although the hurt goes away eventually, closure really is much harder. I recommend distracting yourself as much as you can. Personally, I use humor to cope but that doesn't work for everyone. Also, finding a new hobby could be very good in diverting your energy into something good and not only getting closure from the person but also a time in your life. I like making healthy changes in my appearance, like hair color, but that is counterproductive for some people.

If there is communication, i must convey my feelings, or at least write them down, to get them out of my head and on a paper, put into words, sentences paragraphs. To view them with my eyes instead of just having them run crazy in my head. To accept a relation is over, to accept that it is time to walk away, to accept that my life is worth more than being stuck on a person who couldnt be my partner for whatever reasons. Life is beautiful when u r comfortable to be by urself and not have ur peace and happiness relient on another person.

You need to understand your Ex properly , if its closure you need then some things would be. Put into consideration knowing your ex properly will help you know how to handle and treat them being on their good side is the fastest way to get it
Although you should know having a strong desire for something i s not similar to needing something .its normal to long for them after theyve left but you need to really thing about the probably outcome to getting back together with them
So in summary to get closure is to get close to them

This is very gray-area topic. It really depends on the following:
-How much you cared/loved this person
-How complex the relationship developed to
-And how the relationship ended.
If you feel the need to get closure there is nothing wrong with writing your ex about this and expressing you most sincere feelings about the circumstances. it is not easy, but if you manage to do so, you will most likely feel better.
something to keep in mind is that if your ex and you ended up in bad terms, you might want to make sure you don't bring the circumstances in this conversation. rather, focus on moving forward and letting all the negative things go.
good luck!

It is normal to feel the need for closure in situations like this. But before jumping into that, I personally like to look into myself and understand what do I expect and want from the closure and am I ready for it.
As to the big "how". Always talk to the other party and determine whether both of you are on the same page of being okay with talking to each other, as understandably, just like a relationship, breakups and closure involves both party as well. And later if and when an agreement is reached, remember to always hold on to the peace in your heart and be genuine with what you talk about. Remember anger and revenge are very natural response to hurt, and they are valid feelings too.

Depending on how the relationship ended, sometimes talking to them is the only way to get that closure. If you are talking about getting closure for what went wrong, take some time apart, then come back later with a clear head and simply have a discussion. Time apart always helps heal relationships, especially if they ended badly. I started dating my best friend last March, we broke up in April, and the whole summer we didn't talk. When school started again last year, I spoke to her and apologized for what I did wrong, she apologized for what she did wrong, and we became best friends again. It is important to know it doesn't always end up that way, though. It is also important to know that in a break up it is almost never one person's fault, both people have their flaws that contribute to the end of a relationship in most cases. It is rare that there is only one person at fault, although, it does happen. I hope this helps!

Talk to them in person, discuss, and say things you want to get off your chest. Talk about the things you want to clarify and/or disclose. Ending things on a good note can be from understanding both of your viewpoints and letting go. If your ex was toxic or in any way manipulative/abusive, maybe in person confrontation won't be the best option. Only you know yourself to the best and it is up to you to do decide what to do next. Sometimes, getting the closure will be to get it from yourself without the help of your ex. An example of this can be rethinking your relationships with the good and the bad, to then focus on yourself and who you are as a person. From personal experience, feeling content with yourself first helps with closure and self growth.

I try to remind myself about why the relationship ended and why it wasn't right for me, and then I focus on what I want now, what I want from my next relationship and what will make me happy.
I also think blocking your ex on social media is pretty essential, at least until you have moved on.
Try to spend time with your friends and nurture the relationships you perhaps have neglected in the past.
Invest time in yourself and your hobbies.
Try to view your ex as a person with which you have fond memories but they are just memories now.
Hope some/all of that helps you/is relevant :)

What do you feel that you still need closure from? Maybe make a note in your phone of how you ask for closure and get the answers your searching for and see if that is something you’d want to send to your ex. Do you want closure or do you want to reconnect? It’s important to ask yourself exactly why you want closure so you know what you’re looking for from the situation. If you send the text he may not answer and that is okay too. Some people sadly do not provide closure and unfortunately we cannot control what other people do.
