Me and my ex broke up a while ago, I can’t get over him and I need closure to move on, I do really miss him but I’m scared if I try and get in touch again he will ignore me
Hi, wanting closure can make reaching out feel like the only next step, especially when you're scared of what might happen 💛
Closure doesn’t have to come from your ex, and you can start giving it to yourself without contacting them.
Writing everything you wish you could say in a letter, even if you never send it, or talking to a trusted friend could help you process how you feel.
It’s completely normal to miss an ex, but try to think about why you broke up and whether that reason has actually changed.
If it hasn’t, leaving things in the past and focusing on your own happiness might be better for you.
If you truly think there could be a friendship or something more, you could reach out and see how they’re doing, but prepare yourself for any outcome, including getting no reply 🫶
Whatever you choose, spending time with people who make you feel good and doing things you enjoy can help you move forward.
Take care of yourself, and ask luna anytime you need to talk 💕
