Once we know someone and hopelessly fall for that person, we can never go back to that not-knowing state. The person becomes a part of who you are. But we do move on with our lives and it always takes its due time. Try to distract yourself by indulging into different activities and meet new people, specially. Those excruciating memories fade when someone new completely takes over your mind. Find that person.

I'm guessing your partner left you hanging which is why you feel stuck about closure. At any rate, assessing whether the breakup happened for the best or not would give you a sense of closure because I'm sure there must have been plenty of reasons leading up to the breakup. All you got to do is ask yourself whether the positives outweigh the negatives as far as your relationship ending is concerned.

If you haven't received closure by now since the time you guys have broken up, chances are you're looking for something you're truly never going to get. It'll be hard but you need to cut all ties from the person and focus on yourself. Keep yourself as occupied as possible and away from them. Time will heal you.

Closure is something that we often want, but sometimes don't get it even if we need it, but if you would like to try get in touch with your ex and ask if you can have a face to face conversation because you need closure in order to move on from them and/or the relationship itself.

Sometimes it can get really hard to get closure from an ex, especially since most times you are not still in communication with them. The best way to get closure, is to find it within yourself. Think about it all, and try to think about their side too. Sometimes writing a letter (and never sending it) can help, just getting the closure within yourself and letting them go. While it helps some, it doesn't help everyone.

Sometimes getting closure is by talking to them and sometimes not talking to them. If you try to talk to them and make things better or what have you, and they don't want anything, then you sit there and tell them everything you think needs to be said and you leave it at that and later in life you gain your closure that way.

You should realize he was not worth you. And it was better to leave them than be in such a relationship

Oh goodness this one hits me hard because i was with a guy 3 years. we had known each other seven things ended with abuse of every kind towards me and then he left me for an underaged girl. this resulted in alot of legal actions and hes behind bars i never got my answers as to why things went bad and to this day i wonder why itall happened. Today im engaged, running a charity, two businesses and im on my way to getting a deree. these things are way more inportant to me than knowing why i was a punching bag or why i wasnt good enough in general so my answer to you is that you need to focus on bettering yourself and moving forward with your life. Sometimes life doesnt give us the answers to everything and thats alright becuase its better to let it go and close that door than it is to wallow in sadness over something that in the long run is just something small.

It is nice to see that you’ve come to a decision and trust your judgement. Before you contact your previous partner, you might like to take some time to reflect and reevaluate your past relationship in an objective frame. This is valuable so that you have a clearer view on the real relationship, unclouded by guilt or blame, and ultimately figure out which questions will bring you closure. Some elements you may like to consider are the expectations and ideals that you had from your partner in the relationship, whether they were met, whether it was reasonable and how the end of the relationship began. You may also want to decide if it was healthy for either of you. Throughout this, remember to respect yourself and that some relationships end simply because of incompatibility.

Getting closure from your ex why she ended things or why she did something which hurt you is very important to some people. If you don’t get closure on things, you’ll forever (long termly) be worrying what you did wrong or what they think they done wrong.. this can eat you alive (metaphorically of course). I think best way to get closure is just to ask them, be honest about what you want and why you want it, they would probably tell you why things happened as they happened then. Then after you have found closure, you will feel a lot better hopefully :)
